How to treat lung cancer after it spreads? Three treatments are required after lung cancer spreads

As we all know, the spread of cancer cells is a major characteristic of cancer. If the early treatment of lung cancer is not thorough, it is easy to relapse or spread. In addition, the early symptoms of the disease are not obvious. It is often diagnosed in the middle and late stages. At this time, the cancer cells have spread in various ways and are not easy to treat. So how to treat lung cancer after it spreads?

Surgery is often used to treat lung cancer after it has spread. However, patients with lung cancer that has spread are already weak and their condition is more serious. Therefore, surgical resection should be performed according to the patient's condition to avoid causing more serious tumor spread and metastasis. In addition, there are several other treatments for lung cancer that have spread.

1. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy can quickly control the spread and metastasis of cancer cells while treating the primary lung cancer and relieve pain symptoms. Systemic chemotherapy has a good short-term effect, but the chemotherapy drugs themselves have strong chemical toxicity and will cause strong toxic side effects to the human body.

2. Radiotherapy: For the spread of common single lung cancer, short-term radiotherapy can be given after the condition stabilizes. It can relieve pain, kill cancer cells and control the spread and metastasis of lung cancer cells. It is usually carried out simultaneously with chemotherapy.

3. Biological immunotherapy: Biological immunotherapy is a currently recognized lung cancer treatment model. This treatment method achieves the purpose of inhibiting or killing tumor cells by enhancing the immune activity of one's own cells and activating the body's anti-tumor immune response. It can prolong the survival of lung cancer patients and improve their quality of life.
