What methods are commonly used to treat lung cancer? The 4 most commonly used treatments for lung cancer

According to relevant data, the number of patients with lung cancer in my country increases year by year, and the mortality rate is also rising. The main cause of lung cancer is long-term smoking, which has a serious impact on the lungs. When there is a problem with the lungs, it will have a serious impact on other organs of the body. Therefore, we must protect the lungs and stay away from lung cancer. For people who already have lung cancer, timely treatment is the key. Let's take a look at the most commonly used treatments for lung cancer.

Commonly used lung cancer treatments:

1. Surgical treatment: Radical lobectomy should be performed as much as possible for the treatment of 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 lung cancer should try their best to surgically remove the primary tumor and metastatic lymph nodes as much as possible, and at the same time, radiotherapy should be used. This method is too harmful to the human body and is not recommended.

2. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is divided into simple radiotherapy and comprehensive radiotherapy.

Simple radiotherapy is divided into radical radiotherapy and palliative radiotherapy. The treatment of lung cancer can be determined based on the pathological type of lung cancer, the extent of the lesion, whether there is metastasis, lung function and overall condition.

Comprehensive radiotherapy is a treatment method that combines radiotherapy with surgery and chemotherapy to treat lung cancer. It can improve the survival rate compared to a single lung cancer treatment.

3. Chemotherapy: It plays an important role in the treatment of lung cancer. According to current views, whether it is the treatment of early or late stage lung cancer, whether it is surgery or radiotherapy, it must be combined with chemotherapy to improve the survival rate.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine: Improve the patient's own immunity, promote metabolism, activate immune cells, and gradually eliminate cancer cells in the body. The traditional Chinese medicine method can thoroughly treat the root cause of the disease, relieve the patient's pain, and achieve the purpose of treatment.

The above lung cancer treatment methods are the most commonly used methods in clinical practice and are also the most effective methods. However, different methods are suitable for patients with different conditions. It is recommended that patients listen to the opinions of experts after diagnosis and choose the most suitable method for their condition.
