What to do if lung cancer metastasizes to the bone? Try these four treatments

Lung cancer bone metastasis can be treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. High doses of cisplatin, cyclophosphamide and other drugs can be used, followed by radiotherapy such as cobalt-60 irradiation and deep X-ray machines. Targeted therapy can also be used, but attention should be paid to the detection of white blood cell levels. In addition, bisphosphonates can be used in combination, or traditional Chinese medicine such as Fufeijian or Qingdu Lifei Decoction can be taken.

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that is prone to cancer metastasis. Once an examination finds that lung cancer has metastasized to the bone, it means that osteolytic destruction has occurred. At this time, the disease has become extremely serious and it is necessary to find a suitable scientific treatment as soon as possible. So how can we hope to cure lung cancer bone metastasis?
1. Chemotherapy for bone metastasis of lung cancer <br/>Bone metastasis of lung cancer can be treated with chemotherapy. Specifically, large doses of cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide can relieve lung pain symptoms, kill cancer cells, and effectively inhibit the spread of cancer. However, the side effects of chemotherapy are relatively large, so you need to pay more attention during treatment.
2. Radiotherapy for Bone Metastasis of Lung Cancer
Radiotherapy such as cobalt-60 irradiation and deep X-ray machine has a significant effect on lung cancer bone metastasis. Especially for isolated bone metastasis, high-dose radiotherapy can be given after chemotherapy to effectively control the development of lesions and reduce the severe pain and discomfort caused by cancer.
3. Targeted therapy for lung cancer bone metastasis <br/>Targeted therapy is more suitable for patients with multiple bone metastases throughout the body. Specifically, it uses radionuclide internal irradiation to reduce bone destruction and dissolution caused by bone metastasis, effectively inhibit the deterioration of bone metastasis, and eliminate severe pain and discomfort. However, it may cause adverse reactions such as bone marrow suppression, so it is necessary to monitor changes in white blood cell levels during treatment.
IV. Drug treatment of lung cancer bone metastasis
1. Western medicine <br/>Bone metastasis of lung cancer can be treated with Western medicine. In clinical practice, bisphosphonates are mainly used. When the pain is severe, indomethacin tablets can be used for treatment as appropriate.
2. Chinese medicine <br/>The use of Chinese medicine can regulate the body's immunity and improve the patient's physical condition. Among them, lung cancer bone metastasis of qi deficiency and yin deficiency type can be treated with Qi-invigorating and Yin-nourishing therapy. It can be decocted with Fufeijian or Qingdu Lifeitang. The main Chinese herbal medicines needed include roasted astragalus, raw sun-dried ginseng, Panax notoginseng and Adenophora australis.
