How should lung cancer patients be treated? Five lung cancer treatments are safe and effective

For the treatment of lung cancer, surgical resection and preserving the original function of the lungs to the greatest extent are the most ideal treatment effects. However, the most commonly used method is surgical resection combined with other treatments, mainly to improve the quality of life and reduce the chance of recurrence. The following is an introduction to the treatment measures for lung cancer:

1. Carina resection and reconstruction: When the tumor exceeds the main bronchus and involves the carina or the tracheal side wall but does not exceed 2 cm, carina resection and reconstruction or sleeve pneumonectomy can be performed, and efforts should be made to preserve one lobe of the lung during surgery.

2. Sleeve lobectomy in surgical treatment of lung cancer: Sleeve lobectomy is mostly suitable for patients whose tumors are located in the lobar bronchus and involve the lobar bronchial openings.

3. Lobectomy: For isolated peripheral lung cancer, limited to one lobe without obvious lymph node enlargement, lobectomy can be performed. If the tumor involves two lobes or the middle bronchus, upper middle lobe or lower middle lobe lung resection can be performed.

4. Immunotherapy: For patients who cannot undergo surgery immediately, chemotherapy and biological immunotherapy can be used to shrink the tumor to achieve the purpose of lowering the stage, and then seize the opportunity for radical resection. Or radiotherapy can be used as the main treatment, and biological immunotherapy can be used as an auxiliary treatment, which has significant therapeutic effects.

5. Local resection: Local resection is suitable for patients with very small primary cancer, elderly and weak patients with poor lung function, or patients with well-differentiated cancer and low malignancy. Wedge-shaped cancer block resection and lung segment resection are performed.

In the treatment of malignant tumors, chemotherapy measures have gradually gained attention, and the same is true for the treatment of lung cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine also has certain advantages in the treatment of lung cancer. The advantage lies in the fact that it can conduct syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the cause of the patient's disease and the progression of the patient's disease, which is more targeted.
