What are the methods for treating lung cancer? The treatment of lung cancer depends on these three situations

The treatment of lung cancer is basically the same as other malignant tumors. Surgery is the only way to cure it. However, in order to improve the success rate of surgery, other methods may be used to assist. In addition, patients with malignant tumors after surgery must pay attention to necessary taboos. The following is an introduction to the treatment of lung cancer:

1. First, we need to identify the type of lung cancer

Lung cancer is divided into small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer according to pathology. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for the vast majority, about 75%, and small cell lung cancer accounts for about 25%. Non-small cell lung cancer can also be subdivided into squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, etc. Large cell carcinoma develops relatively slowly, which is convenient for timely treatment, but the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is slightly poor. Small cell lung cancer develops faster, but is sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is good. At the same time, both can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, such as "cell restoration tumor suppression therapy".

2. Secondly, look at the stage of lung cancer

Internationally, lung cancer is divided into four stages: I, II, III, and IV for the convenience of treatment. Among them, the tumors in stage I and II are smaller and have no distant metastasis, which are easier to remove. Surgery can be used as the main treatment, combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. For stage III, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine are the main treatments. For stage IV lung cancer, surgery is not allowed. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine are the only treatments. Those who cannot tolerate it should use traditional Chinese medicine as a conservative treatment.

3. The third thing to look at is the patient’s physical condition

Whether the patient's important organs function normally or not is of great reference value for the formulation of lung cancer treatment plan. Whether the heart, lung, liver, and kidney functions are normal, whether the blood picture is normal, and whether there are cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension and other basic diseases are very important in deciding what kind of treatment plan to take. Not only the stage and cell type of lung cancer itself should be considered, but the effect of the treatment plan and the patient's prognosis depend on these comprehensive factors.

Late-stage lung cancer is generally incurable, which I believe many people are aware of. But in fact, the most important thing for patients with late-stage lung cancer is the patient's mental state. If the mental state is good, the patient's life span can be prolonged.
