How to treat lung cancer metastasis to the brain? You can use these three treatments

When lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, it can be controlled by drugs, such as taking diuretics to reduce intracranial pressure. At the same time, the purpose of treatment can be achieved through surgical removal of the tumor, but it also depends on the specific degree of disease progression. Moreover, when lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be chosen to kill cancer cells, thereby playing a positive role in treating cancer cell metastasis and alleviating the symptoms caused.

Lung cancer usually presents with symptoms such as cough and fever. If it is treated promptly in the early stage, it can be cured. However, if it develops to the late stage, it will also cause chest pain and dyspnea. In severe cases, it may even lead to the spread of cancer cells, such as lung cancer metastasis to the brain. If lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, treatment must be taken promptly and the doctor must be actively cooperated with for treatment, otherwise the risk of death will increase. So, how should lung cancer metastasize to the brain be treated?
1. Drug control <br/>When lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, it can cause intracranial hypertension. You can take drugs that can dehydrate and reduce intracranial pressure to relieve the symptoms, such as diuretics, which can play a positive role in reducing intracranial pressure. You can also choose targeted drug therapy, which can kill metastatic cancer cells by reaching the brain through the blood. However, drug control must be combined with other treatment methods to achieve the purpose of comprehensive treatment.
2. Surgical treatment <br/>This mainly refers to the purpose of relieving symptoms by removing the metastatic tumor, but because it requires craniotomy, it is risky and requires a high level of immunity and physical fitness of the patient, and there is a possibility of recurrence after tumor removal. However, it also depends on one's own physical condition and the degree of disease progression. If it is suitable for tumor removal surgery, combined with the doctor's guidance and advice, the treatment effect can be achieved through surgery.
3. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy <br/>This mainly refers to the purpose of controlling the progression of the disease by radiotherapy or chemotherapy to the brain. The effect is relatively good, but the side effects are also obvious, such as nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite, most of which manifest as symptoms of hair loss. The effect of radiotherapy or chemotherapy depends on the specific condition and each person's physical condition. You can choose a suitable and effective treatment method through targeted examinations.
