How much does lung tumor surgery cost

Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor. Many people are at a loss when they are unfortunately diagnosed with the disease. There are many ways to treat the disease, but people don’t know which method is the best. Many patients choose to give up treatment because of their family conditions and fear that they cannot afford the treatment costs. So, how much does lung tumor surgery cost? Is surgical treatment the best treatment option?

The cost of lung cancer treatment varies from person to person. Generally speaking, the cost of surgery is about the same for everyone, but the medication before and after the operation depends on the patient's specific situation, and the cost will also vary. In addition, some patients will have various conditions after surgery. Those who recover well will have less cost, while those who do not recover well may need subsequent radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the cost will definitely increase relatively. At present, most of the treatment costs of lung cancer in my country can be reimbursed by social security, so patients with lung cancer should first consider curing the disease, not the cost.

There are many ways to treat lung cancer. Surgery is the main treatment. This treatment method is suitable for non-small cell lung cancer. Except for some stage IIIb and IV, surgery should be the main treatment or strive for surgery. Radical resection is the only treatment method that can make lung cancer patients obtain clinical cure. If the lesion is small and comprehensive treatment is reasonably arranged after surgery, the survival of most patients can be prolonged. Patients with early lung cancer, such as early stage Ia lung cancer, can achieve clinical cure through surgery.

Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy can be used alone or in combination with other therapies to treat lung cancer. Lung cancer chemotherapy is divided into first-line chemotherapy and second-line chemotherapy, which means that even if the first-line chemotherapy fails, the second-line chemotherapy can be used. The radiotherapy effect varies with the different histological types of lung cancer. Among them, small cell lung cancer has the best sensitivity to radiotherapy, followed by squamous cell lung cancer, and adenocarcinoma of the lung has the worst.

Experts point out that the survival time of lung cancer patients is not only restricted by surgery, but also related to the relevant care after treatment. Family care after the patient is discharged from the hospital is also crucial for the recovery of the disease, so patients with lung tumors must pay more attention.
