What are the treatments for lung cancer? An inventory of effective treatments for lung cancer

In the onset of cancer, the impact of the consequences is closely related to the delay of treatment. At the same time, according to the survey, people have too much negligence and insufficiency in the problem of lung cancer. Therefore, many dangerous consequences of late lung cancer are caused. Therefore, the treatment of lung cancer is something that all lung cancer patients should know.

Lung cancer has caused great damage to the patient's physical and mental health, and patients are very concerned about the treatment of lung cancer. For the treatment of lung cancer, benign lung tumors and tumor-like diseases are mainly treated with surgery, while malignant tumors should be treated with surgery plus traditional Chinese medicine, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunity and other comprehensive treatments. Now the knowledge about lung cancer treatment is introduced as follows.

1. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is one of the important treatments for lung cancer. More than 90% of lung cancer patients must use chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is relatively effective for small cell lung cancer, both in the early and late stages. About one percent of primary small cell lung cancer can be cured after chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is an important method for treating non-small cell lung cancer. Chemotherapy has a 40% to 50% slowing rate for non-small cell lung cancer tumors. Chemotherapy generally cannot cure non-small cell lung cancer, but can only guarantee the patient's survival rate and reduce the severity. Chemotherapy is divided into curative chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy.

2. Radiation therapy

Radiotherapy is a partial treatment and is often combined with chemotherapy. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are combined to treat different patients, using synchronous chemoradiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy instead of chemotherapy.

3. Surgical treatment

Surgery is the best option for lung cancer and is currently the only most effective way to treat lung cancer. The purpose of surgery for lung cancer is to:

Radical removal of primary lung cancer and metastatic lymph nodes, thus achieving clinical cure;

Removing the vast majority of the malignant part of the tumor will facilitate other treatments, that is, reducing tumor surgery;

Reduction surgery: For most patients, such as those with refractory pleural effusion and pericardial effusion, the clinical symptoms of pericardial and pleural effusion can be cured or relieved by removing pleural and pericardial implant nodules, removing part of the pericardium and pleura, and improving survival rate and quality of life. Reduction surgery requires both partial and full-body chemotherapy. Surgical treatment often requires chemotherapy and radiotherapy before and after surgery to ensure surgical cure rate and patient survival rate. The 5-year survival rate of surgical treatment of lung cancer is 30% to 44%. The mortality rate of surgical treatment is only 1% to 2%.

At present, my country has made certain achievements in the prevention and treatment of lung cancer. When lung cancer is diagnosed, we must first correct our mentality and treat it correctly. Because the treatment of lung cancer involves the joint efforts of multiple disciplines, if the correct lung cancer treatment plan can be obtained, the effect of lung cancer treatment is relatively ideal. The general principle of lung cancer treatment is early detection and early diagnosis and treatment, focusing on the implementation of standardized comprehensive treatment.
