In recent years, lung cancer has become one of the malignant tumors that endangers people's health. As the lesions continue to change, a series of symptoms and signs will appear. The cause of lung cancer is not very clear, and most lung cancers are not taken seriously until they are in the late stage. At this time, it will be relatively difficult to treat. So what are the treatments for lung cancer? Next, I will introduce to you the best treatments for lung cancer.

1. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment of lung cancer can be divided into radical surgery and palliative surgery. Although surgical treatment is one of the effective means of treating lung cancer, it has many shortcomings. It not only brings great trauma to patients, but also has very limited indications, and often only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. In addition, active symptomatic treatment should be performed after surgical treatment to recover and prevent the occurrence of postoperative complications.

2. Radiotherapy: Use radiation to inhibit the spread and metastasis of tumor cells. Clinically, radiotherapy has the best effect on small cell lung cancer, followed by squamous cell carcinoma, and the worst on adenocarcinoma. However, radiation pneumonitis often occurs during radiotherapy, and weak or older lung cancer patients generally cannot tolerate it.

3. Chemotherapy: Use chemical drugs to fight cancer cells. It has good short-term efficacy, but has large side effects. In order to alleviate the patient's pain, it can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine for comprehensive treatment. Through the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body, it can improve the body's defense against cancer cells and effectively prevent the recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells.

4. Comprehensive treatment: Give full play to the synergistic effect of various treatment methods to improve the efficacy and reduce the toxic side effects of treatment. The content of comprehensive treatment can roughly include: ① Surgery + chemotherapy. ② Preoperative chemotherapy + surgery + postoperative chemotherapy, ③ Surgery + chemotherapy + radiotherapy, ④ Chemotherapy + radiotherapy + targeted therapy, or chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the same time, play a synergistic role. Emphasize multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment!

5. Treatment with Chinese medicine: Comprehensive treatment of lung cancer based on the principle of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. It has been clinically recognized by the majority of lung cancer patients. A large number of clinical trials have shown that Chinese medicine treatment before and after surgery or during radiotherapy and chemotherapy can play a role in increasing efficacy and reducing toxicity, increase the body's tolerance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, improve the patient's immune function, improve the quality of life, and prolong survival. It can be seen that reasonable Chinese medicine treatment of lung cancer has gradually been accepted by the majority of lung cancer patients and is worthy of application and promotion.
