What are the treatments for lung cancer? There are five treatments

Once lung cancer is diagnosed, the earlier it is treated, the higher the patient's chance of survival. Early lung cancer is often treated surgically. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are also widely used in clinical practice and can be used as adjuvant treatments for lung cancer. During the entire treatment stage, the use of traditional Chinese medicine can help prevent complications and promote recovery. In addition, biological treatment methods can also be used to treat lung cancer.

The occurrence of lung cancer is closely related to bad living and eating habits. After suffering from lung cancer, patients will experience symptoms such as coughing, hemoptysis, and chest pain. After being diagnosed with lung cancer, patients should actively seek treatment to prevent the disease from getting worse or even causing death. So, what are the treatment methods for lung cancer?
1. Surgical treatment <br/>For early lung cancer, surgery is generally chosen for treatment, especially for early carcinoma in situ. Radical surgery can completely remove the cancer, and the patient's five-year survival rate is also very high. However, if lung cancer has metastasized to the lymph nodes, surgical resection is not recommended due to the poor surgical effect. Early lung cancer can be treated with surgery, combined with traditional Chinese medicine, to enhance the patient's immunity, prevent the occurrence of postoperative complications, and better prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis.
2. Chemotherapy <br/>Early stage lung cancer is also often treated with chemotherapy, usually after surgery, as an adjuvant treatment. It can kill remaining cancer cells in the body and help prevent the recurrence and metastasis of cancer. Chemotherapy has certain side effects on the body and has a certain impact on the patient's body functions. Therefore, chemotherapy is usually combined with Chinese medicine to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy drugs on the body.
3. Radiotherapy <br/>Radiotherapy can also be used as an adjuvant treatment for lung cancer, which can help consolidate the effect of surgery and reduce the chance of recurrence. However, radiotherapy also has great side effects on patients, so during the treatment process, Chinese medicine should be selected for adjustment according to the actual physical condition of the patient.
4. Treatment with Traditional Chinese Medicine <br/>Traditional Chinese Medicine has relatively few side effects, which can make up for the shortcomings of Western medicine, reduce the side effects of surgery and drugs, and enhance the treatment effect. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine is generally used as an auxiliary treatment during the entire treatment stage of lung cancer to prevent complications and promote physical recovery.
5. Biological therapy <br/>Biological therapy refers to the injection of anti-cancer cells that have proliferated in vitro back into the patient's body to achieve an anti-cancer effect. Biological therapy helps mobilize the patient's body's defense mechanism and activate immune cells, thereby killing cells and treating cancer.
