What are the methods for treating advanced lung cancer? Advanced lung cancer should be treated with these methods

The incidence of lung cancer has been on a continuous upward trend in recent years, and this disease has brought a lot of harm to people. Due to the metastasis and spread of cancer cells in the late stage of lung cancer, surgical treatment is generally not used. So, what are the methods for treating advanced lung cancer? Let's take a look at the introduction of this article.

Clinically, the main treatments for advanced lung cancer are radiotherapy and chemotherapy: about 3/5 of advanced lung cancer patients can relieve symptoms after radiotherapy, but because chemotherapy drugs lack selectivity, they will cause damage to normal human cells, produce a series of toxic side effects, and damage the immune function of advanced lung cancer patients, which not only brings pain to patients, but also is not conducive to the smooth progress of treatment. Therefore, radiotherapy should be used with caution for advanced lung cancer patients with weak physical functions.

TCM treatment of advanced lung cancer: Currently, clinical practice advocates the combination of TCM and Chinese medicine to treat advanced lung cancer in order to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. TCM can reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy while alleviating the symptoms of advanced lung cancer. TCM treatment methods can reduce the harm of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and prolong the life of patients to the maximum extent. The specific treatment plan can be formulated in a regular hospital, which will be more reasonable.

Immunotherapy is also one of the treatments for advanced lung cancer: Cancer patients often resist immune function. Immunotherapy is used in the late stage of cancer, but it should be noted that the lower the immune function, the worse the treatment effect. Using immunotherapy as an auxiliary measure for the treatment of lung cancer can help the patient's body resist lung tumors, thereby enhancing the patient's tolerance.
