How to treat lung cancer in the late stage? 4 methods to treat advanced lung cancer

I believe everyone has heard of lung cancer. It is one of the most serious malignant tumors and a relatively common malignant disease. The mortality rate of lung cancer is relatively high among malignant tumors, so it is necessary for us to understand the relevant knowledge about lung cancer. So what are the methods for treating advanced lung cancer? Let's learn about the methods for treating advanced lung cancer:

Treatments for advanced liver cancer include:

1. Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy can alleviate the symptoms of patients with advanced lung cancer, and external radiotherapy with different doses and fractions can relieve local symptoms of primary or metastatic lesions.

However, patients with advanced lung cancer often die hastily due to the strong side effects and complications of radiotherapy. While enduring the torture of cancer, they also have to endure the side effects of radiotherapy and other treatments, such as chest pain, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue, etc., which leads to a very poor quality of life.

2. Surgical treatment

Although surgery can remove lung lesions, due to the poor physical condition and low immunity of patients with advanced lung cancer, surgery often causes great damage to their vitality and a sharp decline in their quality of life. If they do not cooperate with systemic treatment, the good times often do not last long, leading to tumor recurrence or metastasis, especially for small cell lung cancer.

3. Chemotherapy for lung cancer

Small cell lung cancer progresses rapidly, has a strong tendency to spread throughout the body, and is highly sensitive to chemotherapy, so chemotherapy has become a major treatment for small cell lung cancer. Excessive aggressive treatment not only fails to prolong survival, but also reduces the patient's quality of life, aggravates the symptoms of patients with advanced lung cancer, and makes them suffer from excruciating pain.

4. Biological therapy

Tumor biotherapy is a common method for treating liver cancer after surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It is expected to turn liver cancer into a controllable chronic disease.
