What is the most effective way to treat advanced lung cancer? Comprehensive treatment methods for advanced lung cancer

As living standards continue to improve, the quality of the environment in which people live is also rapidly declining, which has the direct consequence of causing a sharp increase in the number of cancer patients. Lung cancer patients account for a large proportion of them, but many friends do not know much about the relevant treatment methods for lung cancer.

How to treat advanced lung cancer

Clinically, the main treatments for advanced lung cancer are radiotherapy and chemotherapy: about 3/5 of advanced lung cancer patients can relieve symptoms after radiotherapy, but because chemotherapy drugs lack selectivity, they will cause damage to normal human cells, produce a series of toxic side effects, and damage the immune function of advanced lung cancer patients, which not only brings pain to patients, but also is not conducive to the smooth progress of treatment. Therefore, radiotherapy should be used with caution for advanced lung cancer patients with weak physical functions.

TCM treatment of advanced lung cancer: Currently, clinical practice advocates the combination of TCM and Chinese medicine to treat advanced lung cancer in order to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. TCM can reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy while alleviating the symptoms of advanced lung cancer. TCM treatment methods can reduce the harm of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and prolong the life of patients to the maximum extent. The specific treatment plan can be formulated in a regular hospital, which will be more reasonable.

Immunotherapy is also one of the treatments for advanced lung cancer: Cancer patients often resist immune function. Immunotherapy is used in the late stage of cancer, but it should be noted that the lower the immune function, the worse the treatment effect. Using immunotherapy as an auxiliary measure for the treatment of lung cancer can help the patient's body resist lung tumors, thereby enhancing the patient's tolerance.

In general, the common treatments for advanced lung cancer are:

1. Surgery: Surgery can achieve good therapeutic effects in the early stages of lung cancer, but it is not ideal for the treatment of late-stage lung cancer. Lung cancer with multiple metastases in the late stages can only be treated with palliative surgery, but it is easy for residual cancer cells to remain, which can easily lead to recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, surgical treatment has great limitations for the treatment of late-stage lung cancer, and the effect is poor, so it should not be used.

2. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy: The treatment of advanced lung cancer is closely related to the patient's condition and constitution. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can achieve certain effects in controlling the symptoms of advanced lung cancer and inhibiting cancer cells, but they have certain toxic side effects and can be used in conjunction with Chinese medicine. Considering that local therapies such as surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are difficult to achieve ideal therapeutic effects, the use of Chinese medicine in conjunction with radiotherapy and chemotherapy can reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and enhance the effect of treatment.

3. Chinese medicine: Chinese medicine is based on the principles of softening and dispersing nodules, strengthening the body and eliminating evil, and treating both the symptoms and the root causes. On the one hand, it can effectively kill and inhibit cancer cells and alleviate the condition. On the other hand, it can also regulate the whole body of patients with advanced lung cancer, enhance the body's immune function, and improve the effect of treatment. Especially for the treatment of advanced lung cancer, choosing the best treatment method for reasonable and standardized treatment can achieve the best treatment effect, which can effectively improve the quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer and prolong the survival period of patients with advanced lung cancer.

TCM Explanation: Good Effect in Treating Advanced Lung Cancer

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is caused by internal deficiency of positive energy and the invasion of evil toxins into the lungs. Therefore, the treatment is mainly based on promoting qi and blood circulation, resolving phlegm and softening hard masses, or replenishing qi and nourishing yin, resolving phlegm and clearing away heat. Some traditional Chinese medicine methods for treating advanced lung cancer can effectively inhibit the development of cancer cells, improve the quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer, prolong the survival of patients, and increase the survival rate of lung cancer patients. The positive energy of the patient's body is gradually restored and strengthened, which maximizes the improvement of the patient's quality of life and prolongs the survival period.

Experts also said: Lung cancer is a local manifestation of a systemic disease. Different methods for treating advanced lung cancer have their own indications and limitations. For example, surgical treatment can achieve a radical cure for early and localized lung cancer, but the effect is poor when there is local recurrence, a large tumor range, or metastasis. Radiotherapy can achieve a radical cure for some lung cancers, but it is a local therapy. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment method, but most chemotherapy drugs have weak selective inhibitory effects and often have certain side effects.
