How much do you know about the treatment of lung cancer?

The treatment of lung cancer should be based on its pathological type, pathological stage, molecular classification and other factors, such as non-small cell lung cancer, mainly surgical treatment, and then according to the stage, supplemented by other treatments; Small cell lung cancer is mainly treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. Therefore, patients with lung cancer should seek medical treatment as soon as possible to find out their pathological type, whether it is small cell lung cancer or non-small cell lung cancer, and then choose the corresponding treatment according to the size, location, invasion range and whether there is distant metastasis. ?

Clinically, according to the pathological characteristics of lung cancer, it is mainly divided into squamous cell carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma and alveolar cell carcinoma. Each type of treatment is different, but surgery is still the first choice for all lung cancer patients. For non-small cell lung cancer, besides surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted drug therapy and immunotherapy can also be selected. For small cell lung cancer, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the first choice, because they are sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the degree of malignancy is relatively high. After discovery, they will generally lose the opportunity for surgery. Therefore, whether it is surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, it can also be treated with Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine anticancer substances include ginsenoside RH2 and compound Mylabris capsule, which can protect normal cells and enhance curative effect.

For early lung cancer, surgery is generally chosen, especially for early carcinoma in situ. Radical surgery can completely remove the tumor, and the five-year survival rate of patients is also very high. However, if lymph node metastasis has occurred in lung cancer and the surgical effect is not good, surgical resection is not recommended. Early lung cancer can be treated by surgery combined with traditional Chinese medicine, which can enhance patients' immunity, prevent postoperative complications and better prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis.

Chemotherapy is often used for early lung cancer, usually after surgery, which can kill the remaining cancer cells in the body and help prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis. Chemotherapy has certain side effects on the body, which will have a certain impact on the patient's physical function. Therefore, chemotherapy should generally be combined with traditional Chinese medicine to reduce the side effects caused by chemotherapy drugs.
