How to prolong life after having lung cancer? This can maximize the life expectancy of lung cancer patients

Although everyone wants to live a long life, once you find out that you have lung cancer, this idea will be in vain. In fact, if you don't want lung cancer to take away the patient's life so quickly, you can still take some measures to prolong your life. So what should lung cancer patients do to achieve the goal of prolonging their lives?

At present, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy are still the classic "three major weapons" for lung cancer, but biological therapy, psychotherapy, lifestyle intervention and other means cannot be ignored. Only by flexibly applying the above "weapons" and comprehensive treatment can the best therapeutic effect be achieved. First of all, lung cancer must be diagnosed as soon as possible, including: whether it is lung cancer, pathological type, stage and even assessment of the whole body condition. Secondly, develop the most appropriate treatment strategy for the patient. For example, for early patients, surgery is the best choice. Some patients need chemotherapy after surgery to prevent recurrence and improve the efficacy of surgery.

As for the dosage and frequency of chemotherapy, it is necessary to control it flexibly. Too much will cause harm, and too little will "encourage evil". For patients with locally advanced disease, chemotherapy can be used first to reduce the stage and create conditions for surgery. For patients with absolutely advanced disease, who have lost the opportunity for surgery, chemotherapy can be used to control tumor progression and relieve symptoms. Finally, even if the operation is successful, you should not be careless after the operation. Measures such as traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body, psychological support, and lifestyle intervention must keep up.

No matter what disease we are treating, we should not be defeated by the disease in our mind. We should believe that we can completely cure the disease. To treat lung cancer, we need to have a good attitude and then treat the disease according to the advice of lung cancer experts. I believe that with the joint efforts of medical staff, lung cancer can be effectively controlled.
