According to a survey, hundreds of thousands of people are diagnosed with lung cancer in my country every year. We can imagine how terrible this disease is. For such a disease, we must first have a correct understanding, and then we must prevent it. It is also necessary to understand the early symptoms. Of course, these are our early ways to deal with lung cancer. However, no matter when, for the disease of lung cancer, nursing is indispensable after surgery, because nursing is really useful for us and can play a role in restoring the body. In fact, some people are not doing very well in nursing. In order to introduce reasonable methods of nursing to everyone, we also invited experts.

1. After lung cancer surgery, patients should be prohibited from smoking to avoid affecting their recovery. If they have decreased lung function, they should be guided to gradually increase their exercise.

2. After the operation, you should always pay attention to the patient's recovery. If there is a recurrence, you should immediately go to the hospital to consult a doctor to decide whether to undergo radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

3. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is prone to invade local areas and cause intrathoracic recurrence after surgery.

4. Lung adenocarcinoma or undifferentiated cancer is prone to distant metastasis, such as metastasis to lymph nodes, bones, liver, brain and contralateral lung.

5. Always pay attention to whether the patient has fever, severe cough, blood in sputum, shortness of breath, chest pain, headache, vision changes, liver pain, bone pain, supraclavicular lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, etc. If the above symptoms are found, go to the hospital in time. At the same time, the patient should go to the hospital regularly for chest X-ray examination.
