What are the main treatments for lung cancer? Try these 4 lung cancer dietary remedies

Many people have been asking about the methods of treating lung cancer. After experts investigated some patients, they finally got some professional answers. I believe these answers will be helpful to all patients. At the same time, experts would like to remind you that these methods can only be used as a reference.

In recent years, the incidence and mortality of lung cancer have increased significantly. Lung cancer is a relatively serious malignant tumor among lung diseases. The vast majority of lung cancers originate from the bronchial mucosal epithelium. Lung cancer has ranked first among male cancer patients, and the incidence rate in women has also increased rapidly, ranking second or third among common malignant tumors in women. The cause of lung cancer is still not completely clear. Long-term and large-scale smoking is an important pathogenic factor of lung cancer. The incidence of lung cancer in urban residents is higher than that in rural areas. This may be related to air pollution and carcinogens contained in smoke. Let's analyze the treatment methods for this disease.

It has become a consensus that lung cancer treatment requires multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment to improve the treatment effect. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy together constitute the three main treatment methods for malignant tumors. Planned and standardized comprehensive treatment will produce good therapeutic effects for patients with lung cancer at different stages. There are three main types of lung cancer treatment.

1. Surgical treatment:

In the early stages of lung cancer, radical lobectomy should be performed as much as possible to completely remove the primary cancer and clear the hilar lymph nodes while preserving healthy lung tissue to achieve the goal of survival. Patients with advanced lung cancer should strive for surgical removal of the primary tumor and metastatic lymph nodes as much as possible, while also being supplemented with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments. Generally speaking, 20% of lung cancer patients are suitable for surgical treatment.

The choice of surgical indications and types of surgery is mainly based on the site and extent of tumor invasion and the patient's general condition, especially the cardiopulmonary function reserve. The principle of surgery is to completely remove the lesion and preserve healthy lung tissue to the maximum extent.

Radical lobectomy should be performed as much as possible for early stage lung cancer. While completely removing the primary cancer and clearing the hilar lymph nodes, healthy lung tissue should be preserved as much as possible to achieve the goal of survival. Patients with advanced stage lung cancer should strive to surgically remove the primary tumor and metastatic lymph nodes as much as possible, and at the same time be supplemented with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments. Generally speaking, 20% of patients are suitable for surgical treatment.

2. Chemotherapy

Radiotherapy is a commonly used treatment for lung cancer. It can be divided into simple radiotherapy and comprehensive radiotherapy. Simple radiotherapy is divided into radical radiotherapy and palliative radiotherapy. The method of radiotherapy can be determined according to the pathological type of lung cancer, the extent of the lesion, whether there is metastasis, lung function and general condition. Comprehensive radiotherapy is a treatment that combines radiotherapy with surgery and chemotherapy. It can effectively improve the survival rate compared to a single treatment method.

It plays an important role in the treatment of lung cancer. According to the current view, whether it is early or late stage, whether it is surgery or radiotherapy, it must be combined with chemotherapy to improve the survival rate. For small cell lung cancer with a clear diagnosis, a course of induction chemotherapy should be carried out before surgery, and then surgical resection should be performed. Chemotherapy should be continued after surgery. Adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma can be treated with regular chemotherapy after surgery. For late stage or lesions that cannot be surgically removed, local infusion chemotherapy can also be performed through the bronchial artery.

Radiation pneumonia may occur during radiotherapy and within 1 month after radiotherapy. Acute radiation pneumonia is accompanied by high fever, chest pain, cough, shortness of breath, etc. Colds and upper respiratory tract infections are its causes, so especially in winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm and prevent colds.
