What are the methods for treating lung cancer

Lung cancer is a very common disease nowadays. This disease is difficult to detect in the early stages and is often not discovered until the later stages. Therefore, if we miss the timely treatment time, it will greatly increase the difficulty of our treatment. Today we will look at some good treatments for lung cancer.

Chemotherapy for lung cancer is the most common treatment method, and this treatment method can play a certain role in a short period of time. In recent years, with the development and improvement of medicine and pharmacology, great progress has been made in the chemotherapy of lung cancer. In view of the particularity of the blood-brain barrier, chemotherapy for lung cancer has great limitations. Because it is difficult for drugs to pass through the vascular endothelial cells to act on cancerous cells, even if a small amount of drugs reach tumor cells through fat solubility, it is difficult to be satisfactory in terms of efficiency. It can be said that none of them are ideal. However, compared with the past, today's chemotherapy for lung cancer has made great progress and development, which is also due to the continuous development of clinical medicine.

Radiotherapy for lung cancer is now often used in clinical practice and has been recognized by many patients. Usually, about two weeks after surgery is the best time for radiotherapy. Its main principle is: because tumor cells are sensitive to radiation and are easier to kill, a large amount of radiation can completely eliminate tumor cells. However, at the same time, some normal cells will inevitably be killed. The treatment time of lung cancer with radiotherapy is usually four to eight weeks. The specific irradiation time, irradiation location, area, etc. should be determined according to the results of imaging examinations.

No matter what treatment method is used, it is best to go to the hospital for examination. After the actual results are obtained, the doctor will arrange for you to choose the appropriate treatment method. For those benign tumors, surgical treatment is the most suitable method. Nowadays, the success rate of surgical treatment is also very high. Moreover, the rebound rate of lung cancer cases cured by surgical treatment is relatively low. However, it should be noted that although the rebound rate is low, it does not rule out special cases, so patients need to be reviewed regularly to prevent recurrence of the disease.

Lung cancer patients use Chinese medicines with flat properties such as lily and yam to nourish yin. Lily is particularly good at nourishing the lungs, yam nourishes the five internal organs, and coix seed strengthens the spleen and eliminates dampness. The lily, coix seed and yam soup made from these ingredients is suitable for cancer patients with yin deficiency and dampness. For another example, astragalus is warm in nature and sweet in taste, and enters the lung and spleen meridians; sea cucumber is warm in nature and salty in taste, nourishes the kidney and essence, nourishes blood and moisturizes dryness. The astragalus and sea cucumber soup cooked from these two flavors is suitable for various cancer patients with qi deficiency and fatigue. For another example, the combination of purslane and shepherd's purse to make a soup can enhance the effect of shepherd's purse in cooling blood and stopping bleeding, which is beneficial to the treatment of lung cancer blood in stool. In addition, Ganoderma lucidum, wolfberry and red date soup can improve the body's immune function, induce the production of interferon in the body, enhance the anti-lung cancer effect, and improve the condition of lung cancer patients with various symptoms of physical weakness.

This is an introduction to the treatment of lung cancer. In order to help patients recover from the illness as soon as possible, we must find a suitable treatment method for them. At the same time, the patients themselves must also make reasonable dietary combinations and care, which will help them quickly recover their health.
