What are the targeted treatments for lung cancer? Here are some

Targeted treatment for lung cancer is effective and can kill tumor cancer cells, but it does little harm to healthy cells. It is necessary to do genetic testing in advance and choose appropriate drugs for treatment. In fact, the conditions of lung cancer patients are different, and the treatment plans they choose vary from person to person, but you must listen to the doctor's advice.

The incidence of lung cancer is much higher now than before, and people are very concerned about the treatment of lung cancer. Lung cancer was a difficult disease to treat in the early days. Now medicine is very advanced, and there are also very unique insights on treatment. Targeted therapy is one of them. So what are the methods of targeted treatment for lung cancer?
There are many ways of targeted treatment for lung cancer, such as drugs targeting EGFR mutations, of which there are many, as well as targeted drugs targeting ALK-positive cells, mainly crizotinib, and drugs targeting angiogenesis. If it is mutation-positive non-small cell carcinoma, it is better to choose targeted drugs for recovery, which are more effective than chemotherapy drugs.
Targeted therapy is different from traditional chemotherapy. It directly acts on certain specific sites of tumor cells and can selectively kill these tumor cells, while causing relatively little damage to normal cells. Targeted therapy is a drug with relatively high safety, good tolerance and few side effects.
This treatment uses the characteristics of the drug to attack tumor cells, eventually causing tumor cell death, but these treatments require genetic testing in advance to select the appropriate drug. Only relatively sensitive targeted drugs can have a therapeutic effect. The drug is used for patients who have not responded well to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. If the first-generation drug is not effective, the second or third generation drug can also be selected.
Lung cancer patients are recommended to choose surgical treatment when the disease is discovered in the early stage. If it is in the late stage and is not suitable for surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy can be chosen. The specific decision needs to be made based on the patient's physical condition and condition. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. If lung cancer treatment is delayed, it is very serious.
