How to cure small cell lung cancer

In recent years, small cell lung cancer often occurs around us. People nowadays live a fast-paced life with great pressure. Some people often use smoking to relieve stress, but do you know how harmful smoking is to the human body? Especially secondhand smoke. Many causes of small cell lung cancer are caused by smoking. So how to treat this disease? Let us learn together how to cure small cell lung cancer.

Small cell lung cancer is the most common primary lung malignancy. Most small cell lung cancers originate from the bronchial mucosal epithelium, so it is also called bronchial small cell lung cancer. In the past 50 years, the incidence and mortality of small cell lung cancer have risen rapidly in countries around the world, especially in industrialized countries. Small cell lung cancer has ranked first among male patients who died of cancer.

1. Surgery: simple tumor removal can be performed. If the tumor is close to the hilum of the lung or the diagnosis is not very certain, lobectomy can be performed. Chemotherapy: preoperative and intraoperative chemotherapy 3 days before surgery, including intraoperative and postoperative 2 days, chemotherapy such as 5Fu, 500-75 mg per day, intravenous drip, can be used to reduce cancer cell metastasis during surgery. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy should be added after surgery for small cell lung cancer to reduce the rate of postoperative abdominal metastasis.

2. Patients with small cell lung cancer who have undergone surgery or have early-stage small cell lung cancer during the conventional chemotherapy cessation period need to be given chemotherapy drugs to prolong life and increase the survival rate by 3 or even 5 years.

3. Immune boosting therapy: Lentinan, Versicolor polysaccharide, and Streptozotocin are all non-specific immune boosters. Cytokine transmission therapy represented by interleukin-Z can improve patient symptoms, improve the quality of life, and prolong life span.

4. Anti-cancer Chinese medicine treatment can be used as one of the comprehensive treatment methods and is suitable for patients who are not suitable for surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or those who develop cancer after surgery.

After the operation, patients should be prohibited from smoking to avoid hastening recurrence. Patients with decreased lung function should be instructed to gradually increase their exercise volume. After the operation, patients should always pay attention to their recovery. If there is a recurrence, they should immediately go to the hospital for a doctor's consultation to decide whether to undergo radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is prone to invade the local area and cause recurrence in the chest cavity after surgery. Lung adenocarcinoma or undifferentiated carcinoma is prone to distant metastasis, such as metastasis to lymph nodes, bones, liver, brain and contralateral lung.

Always pay attention to whether the patient has fever, severe cough, blood in sputum, shortness of breath, chest pain, headache, vision changes, liver pain, bone pain, supraclavicular lymph node enlargement, hepatomegaly, etc. If you observe the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
