How to prolong life after having lung cancer? The sooner you know these common knowledge about lung cancer, the better

Everyone wants to have a healthy body and spend their old age happily. But after suffering from lung cancer, all of this will become a bubble. It not only affects our physical health, but also takes the lives of many people. So after suffering from lung cancer, what can we do to make patients live a few more years?

At present, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are still the classic "three major weapons" for lung cancer, but biological therapy, psychotherapy, lifestyle intervention and other means cannot be ignored. Only by flexibly applying the above "weapons" and comprehensive treatment can the best therapeutic effect be achieved. First of all, lung cancer must be diagnosed as soon as possible, including: whether it is lung cancer, pathological type, stage and even assessment of the whole body condition. Secondly, develop the most appropriate treatment strategy for the patient. For example, for early patients, surgery is the best choice. Some patients need chemotherapy after surgery to prevent recurrence and improve the efficacy of surgery.

As for the dosage and frequency of chemotherapy, it is necessary to control it flexibly. Too much will cause harm, and too little will "encourage evil". For patients with locally advanced disease, chemotherapy can be used first to reduce the stage and create conditions for surgery. For patients with absolutely advanced disease, who have lost the opportunity for surgery, chemotherapy can be used to control tumor progression and relieve symptoms. Finally, even if the operation is successful, you should not be careless after the operation. Measures such as traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body, psychological support, and lifestyle intervention must keep up.

To treat lung cancer, we must have the confidence to defeat the disease, and we must not be defeated by ourselves before we are defeated by the disease. In addition, the majority of patients must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and believe that necessary surgery is indispensable. As the family members and friends of the patients, we must also do our best to provide care.
