How to treat lung cancer effectively? Three professional treatment methods for lung cancer in hospitals

Lung cancer, also known as bronchogenic carcinoma, is a cancer of the lung parenchyma. Its harm is frightening. Clinically, the early symptoms of lung cancer often include coughing, hemoptysis and other symptoms. As the disease progresses, the patient's symptoms begin to gradually manifest, such as shortness of breath. So, what should we do if we have the early symptoms of lung cancer?

1. Surgical treatment: Currently, most treatments for lung cancer advocate maximal removal of the lung cancer and maximal retention of lung function. In recent years, more advocates have advocated lobectomy and combined treatment with surgery and multiple methods.

A) Commonly used lung resection methods include: 1) pneumonectomy; 2) lobectomy; 3) sleeve lobectomy; 4) segmentectomy; 5) tumor resection.

B) Standard lobectomy.

C) Cryosurgery.

2. Radiation therapy:

1) Radiotherapy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is often combined with chemotherapy;

2) Radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) includes preoperative radiotherapy, postoperative radiotherapy, and radical radiotherapy.

The main complications of radiotherapy include esophageal damage, lung damage, heart damage and myelitis.

3. Chemotherapy:

In recent years, chemotherapy has received increasing attention in the treatment of lung cancer, and chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer should be treated differently.

1) Chemotherapy is the main method for treating small cell lung cancer, which mainly includes: single-drug chemotherapy, combination chemotherapy and alternating chemotherapy.

2) Chemotherapy is far less effective for non-small cell lung cancer than for small cell lung cancer. It mainly includes: single-drug and combination therapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy in radiotherapy.

There are many methods to treat lung cancer. At present, comprehensive treatment is the main approach. However, no matter which treatment method is used, it must be considered based on one's own specific situation. This will alleviate the patient's symptoms and complications and promote the patient's recovery. I hope everyone can pay attention to this.
