How to treat early lung cancer better? Can lung cancer be completely cured in the late stage?

Surgery is the first choice for early lung cancer treatment

Can lung cancer be cured? Whether lung cancer can be cured is of course a matter of great concern to patients. However, since lung cancer does not have obvious symptoms in the early stages, it is often in the middle or late stages when it is discovered, which makes treatment very difficult. So is it curable and how should it be treated?

Can lung cancer be cured? The current treatment effect of lung cancer is not very ideal. If it can be found in the early stage, compromise treatment can be carried out to remove the cancerous lesions and prevent recurrence, it is expected to be cured. However, when the patient is diagnosed, the cancerous lesions are already large and have invaded organs and tissues other than the bronchi, or have metastasized to distant places. Due to the wide range of lesions, it is no longer possible to obtain a radical cure. Only palliative treatment can be carried out to improve symptoms, relieve pain, and prolong life. Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are the key to improving the efficacy of lung cancer.

How is lung cancer treated?

1. Treatment with Traditional Chinese Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment starts from the overall perspective and conducts dialectical treatment. It has now achieved good therapeutic effects in the treatment of lung cancer. A large number of clinical trials have shown that the use of traditional Chinese medicine before and after surgery or during radiotherapy and chemotherapy can enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity, increase the body's tolerance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, improve the patient's immune function, and improve the quality of life.

2. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is a common treatment for many cancer diseases. The short-term efficacy is relatively good, but the side effects should not be underestimated. In order to alleviate the patient's pain, it can be combined with other lung cancer treatments for comprehensive treatment. Through the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body, the body's defense against cancer cells can be improved, effectively preventing the recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells.

3. Surgical treatment: Surgery is one of the first treatments after early lung cancer is diagnosed. It is also an effective treatment for many cancers. It is divided into radical surgery and palliative surgery. Although the effect is good, it not only brings great trauma to patients, but also has very limited indications, and often only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. In addition, after surgical treatment, it is necessary to take Chinese medicine in time to help postoperative recovery and prevent postoperative complications.

Can lung cancer be cured? To achieve good treatment results for lung cancer, active treatment must be given in the early stages. In addition, consolidation treatment must be done after treatment. In addition, good care in all aspects will be of great help in preventing recurrence and prolonging survival.

Can lung cancer be completely cured in the late stage?

Patients with advanced lung cancer, in addition to enduring intense psychological pressure, also suffer even more intense physical pain. At this time, family members often place their hopes on surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In fact, due to the decline in immunity, the body functions of patients with advanced lung cancer are far below the level of ordinary people, and surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy often cause great harm to patients. Even if the lesion can be removed for a while, the possibility of recurrence and metastasis is also very high, so repeated surgical treatment is the only option, creating a vicious cycle. As a result, the patient's quality of life is getting worse and worse, and the symptoms are getting more and more serious.

So can advanced lung cancer be completely cured? First of all, we must understand the particularity of cancer itself. Cancer is a functional disease of the body caused by malignant tumors. The formation of tumors is caused by the accumulation of cancer cells. Cancer cells are abnormal cells produced by human metabolism. A normal human body will produce thousands of cancer cells every day, but because of the operation of the human immune system, cancer cells will be cleared. When there is a problem with the human immune system and cancer cells cannot be completely cleared, tumors will occur. Secondly, the lungs are the epitome of the five internal organs of the human body. Once cancer occurs, it will affect the metabolism of the entire human body, and lung cancer is extremely prone to metastasis.

The risk of surgery for patients with advanced lung cancer is extremely high, and the possibility of recurrence is also very high. Therefore, the medical community now generally uses conservative treatment for lung cancer to control the tumor and prevent its metastasis and expansion. As long as the activity of the tumor can be suppressed and kept relatively static, and the patient's physical pain can be reduced by drugs, even if the tumor cannot be removed, it will not endanger the patient's life. This is what the medical community advocates as "living with tumor."

Treatment of advanced lung cancer

At present, the medical community advocates conservative treatment for lung cancer, especially advanced lung cancer, such as biological immunotherapy, which is a new cancer treatment option advocated by the medical community. Compared with the high risks of the three conventional treatments of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, biological immunotherapy is more effective in treating lung cancer.

Biological immunotherapy is also called autologous cell immunotherapy technology. Its principle is to extract the patient's own immune cells, cultivate them through in vitro anti-cancer activation, and then inject them back into the patient's body in large quantities. The biggest advantage of this therapy is that it uses the patient's own cells to inhibit and kill cancer cells, without any biological rejection, and can improve the patient's own immunity, and has a good inhibitory effect on the spread and metastasis of lung cancer. Although biological immunotherapy does not have a particularly obvious effect on the complete removal of lung cancer tumors, it can reactivate the patient's immune system, make the tumor lose its biological activity, and be in a relatively static state, so that the patient can truly "live with the tumor". It reduces the patient's pain and brings confidence to lung cancer patients. It improves the patient's quality of life.
