How is advanced lung cancer generally treated? What is the best treatment for advanced lung cancer?

Lung cancer is a disease that causes great harm to patients and affects their lung function. Treatments for advanced lung cancer include radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. Both radiotherapy and chemotherapy will have huge side effects on the patient's body, and although traditional Chinese medicine has little effect in the short term, it is beneficial to the patient's body in the long run, so it is the best treatment method.

The lungs are an important part of our body. Excessive smoking and other factors may cause lung cancer. If there is a problem with our lungs, our respiratory function may be impaired, which will have a great impact on our normal life. And we all know that cancer is generally difficult to cure, so let's talk about what to do if you have lung cancer today?

In recent years, with the increasing severity of air pollution, the chances of people getting lung cancer are getting higher and higher. According to research, the probability of long-term heavy smokers getting lung cancer is 10 to 20 times that of non-smokers, and the younger the age at which they start smoking, the higher the incidence of lung cancer. At the same time, the occurrence of lung cancer is closely related to harmful substances in air pollutants. And because men smoke, the incidence and mortality of lung cancer in men are significantly higher than those in women. Lung cancer in the late stage means that lung cancer has occurred for a long time and the harm it causes is great. So what is the best treatment for lung cancer in the late stage?

For patients with advanced lung cancer, the possibility of surgical resection is very low, and the main treatment methods are radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy may have certain side effects on the body. Radiotherapy can cause damage to normal cells, and chemotherapy may have great side effects on patients if used for a long time. Because both radiotherapy and chemotherapy have great adverse effects, it may be a better choice for patients to choose traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Although traditional Chinese medicine treatment has little effect in the short term, long-term treatment can inhibit the development of cancer and enable patients to tolerate various drug treatments. In the long run, it is more beneficial to the patient's body and is considered the best treatment method. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can solve the patient's problem fundamentally, but the experience time is relatively long.

Lung cancer can still be cured in the early stages. If it is in the late stages, the possibility of cure is small, and rapid progression will cause greater harm to the patient's body. However, patients should not give up hope and should persist in treatment. During treatment, patients should eat more foods that can enhance their immunity, such as coix seed, yam and other foods.
