What should patients with advanced lung cancer pay attention to when they are treated? Three things to pay attention to when treating advanced lung cancer

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that everyone is afraid of. And with the improvement of people's quality of life, its incidence has increased in recent years. Lung cancer always threatens the patient's life, especially in the middle and late stages. Relatives and friends should take good care of the patient and try to extend the patient's life. Everyone knows that lung cancer in the middle and late stages is extremely difficult to treat, and there are many treatment methods. The following will specifically introduce how to choose a treatment method.

1. Choose a hospital and attending physician

Late-stage patients are in serious condition. Even if there is no hope of cure, they should not give up the opportunity to improve their quality of life. They should choose regular large hospitals and professional attending doctors. Because the experience, resources and level of specialized hospitals in tumors are higher than those of comprehensive tertiary hospitals of the same level; secondly, you can choose the corresponding department of a tertiary comprehensive hospital with good reputation and reputation. The attending doctors should also follow similar principles to choose doctors with good reputation and guaranteed level, so as to help late-stage patients get a better quality of life to the greatest extent.

2. Patients with advanced lung cancer metastasis are not suitable for surgery

Patients with lung cancer that has metastasized should not choose surgical treatment, especially elderly patients in the late stage. Lung surgery is very important because it is close to the heart. Patients cannot eat for several weeks after surgery, which causes great physical exhaustion and weakens their resistance to cancer. This will leave hidden dangers for the recurrence of cancer cells, and will not have a therapeutic effect, resulting in a poor prognosis.

3. Be cautious when doing pathological biopsy

Patients in the advanced stage should try to reduce unnecessary pathological biopsy examinations. Excessive repeated examinations will increase the patient's physical burden and pain, making the body weaker and the condition worse. Some informal hospitals require patients to repeat examinations for economic benefits. Patients must firmly refuse such examinations.

The above are some of the precautions for the treatment of advanced lung cancer that I would like to introduce. I hope that they can help patients. Patients should not just endure it, but actively cooperate with doctors for treatment. Life is precious, and as long as there is a little hope, don't give up. In daily life, it is best to always maintain a happy and confident attitude, and believe that one day you will recover your health.
