What are the treatments for advanced lung cancer? Three clinical treatments for advanced lung cancer

Lung cancer has brought great troubles to our lives, and it has caused headaches for many patients and their families, because they are worried every day, afraid to say goodbye to this world. Therefore, as family members, we must do a good job of comforting the patients. Let's take a look at the treatments for advanced lung cancer.

1. Surgery

Surgery is the most commonly used and effective surgical treatment for lung cancer, and it is mainly used for early localized lesions. For patients in the middle and late stages, this treatment method is not particularly good. In addition, this method is somewhat traumatic, so some lung cancer patients are not particularly suitable for this method.

2. Chemotherapy

Secondly, chemotherapy is also an effective method for treating lung cancer. This chemotherapy can be used as a single treatment method, but the therapeutic effect is not particularly good. It is usually combined with radiation therapy to reduce the size of the tumor or eliminate residual cancer cells after surgery to achieve better therapeutic effects.

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine

It can play an auxiliary role in the treatment of lung cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment measures are usually not chosen by patients because for patients with malignant tumors, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is too slow to control the spread of cancer cells in time. It is generally used as an auxiliary treatment after other treatment methods.
