What are the surgical treatments for lung cancer? Introduction to 5 surgical treatments for lung cancer

Generally speaking, when people mention lung cancer, they can't help but be shocked, and they hope that such a disease will never happen to them. However, in their daily lives, they don't seem to take any measures to prevent lung cancer. Therefore, when lung cancer comes, they often just accept their fate. So what are the surgical treatments for lung cancer?

1 Sleeve lobectomy

Sleeve lobectomy is mostly suitable for patients whose tumors are located in the lobar bronchus and involve the lobar bronchial opening.

2 Pneumonectomy

When lung cancer lesions are extensive and local resection cannot remove the lesions, complete lung resection may be performed and should be carefully considered.

3. Carina resection and reconstruction

When the tumor exceeds the main bronchus and involves the carina or tracheal side wall but does not exceed 2CM, carina resection and reconstruction or sleeve pneumonectomy can be performed, and efforts should be made to preserve one lobe of the lung during the operation. Knowing the treatment methods for lung cancer is the key to timely treatment.

4Local excision:

Local resection is suitable for patients with very small primary cancers, elderly and frail patients with poor lung function, or patients with well-differentiated cancers and low malignancy, and can be performed by wedge-shaped cancer block resection and lung segment resection.

5 Lobectomy

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

The above contents are all surgical treatment methods for lung cancer that experts have summarized over the years. Although these methods seem scary and patients may suffer great pain, if their lives can be saved, then I believe they will not give up treatment because of this little pain.
