What are the effective treatments for lung cancer? Four common methods for treating lung cancer

Lung cancer is still a major unsolved medical problem, but this does not mean that you are sentenced to death if you have lung cancer. There are many clinical cases of long-term survival after treatment. So, what are the effective 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, after surgical treatment, it is necessary to take Chinese medicine in time to help postoperative recovery and prevent postoperative complications.

2. 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 other lung cancer treatment methods for comprehensive treatment. Through the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the body's body, it can improve the body's defense against cancer cells and effectively prevent the recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells.

3. Radiotherapy: The use of 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, radiotherapy often causes radiation pneumonitis and has significant toxic side effects. Lung cancer patients with weak constitutions or older age generally cannot tolerate it.

4. 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 its unique efficacy is worthy of application and promotion.

The above are the four most common methods for treating lung cancer. When pneumonia turns into lung cancer, as long as the patient can actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, the disease will not threaten life and health. I hope that the majority of patients will never give up.
