Lung Cancer Treatment "Alone"? You are out.

Lung cancer is the leading malignant tumor in China in terms of morbidity and mortality. Among NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) patients diagnosed with clinical symptoms, 20%-30% are in Stage I or II, 40%-50% are in Stage III, and 30% are in Stage IV at the time of diagnosis.

In recent years, with the widespread use of chest CT, the detection rate of lung nodules and masses has increased significantly.

What to do if you find a lung mass?

How are malignant nodules treated?

What is the best way to treat it?

Patients and their families are at a loss as to what to do.

This is where the lung cancer MDT team comes in.

The MDT team is able to understand the patient's condition, physical status, age, and whether there are any chronic diseases such as hypertension or diabetes associated with the lung nodule, and then formulate an appropriate treatment plan.

This is where the lung cancer MDT team comes in.

Lung cancer is not only treated by traditional surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also by a variety of treatments, such as targeted therapy, anti-angiogenesis therapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, interventional therapy, radiofrequency ablation, particle implantation, etc.

The MDT team of lung cancer can help you to choose the next step of treatment. Moreover, among the various treatment methods, patients and their families can choose a combined comprehensive treatment plan according to their actual conditions and conditions.

In order to realize the individualized treatment of lung cancer patients, the diagnosis and treatment model of "one department" can no longer meet the treatment needs of lung cancer patients.

Since lung cancer is a multifactorial disease with heterogeneity and different treatment plans, it is impossible for a doctor to make a comprehensive assessment and give a reasonable plan to provide patients with integrated, comprehensive, comprehensive and personalized diagnosis and treatment services, which requires a team of experts in the field to come up with the optimal treatment plan for patients and their families. The patient and his/her family will be able to take a look at the patient's condition.

We call such a team an MDT.

What is MDT?

MDT, which is called Multidisciplinary Multi-Treatment Model, is the trend of oncology development and the most suitable model for diagnosis and treatment at this stage, which is the embodiment of human-centered treatment concept.

MDT is a group of experts from multiple disciplines, emphasizing the collaboration between various subspecialties centered on a particular organ system, and proposing the best individualized diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient's condition through regular case seminars, academic lectures, and other forms of discussion, which is then carried out by the relevant disciplines individually or in a multidisciplinary manner.

The lung cancer MDT team of Binzhou People's Hospital consists of experts from Oncology Ward 2, Radiotherapy, Cardiothoracic Surgery Ward 1, Cardiothoracic Surgery Ward 2, Respiratory Ward 1, Respiratory Ward 2, Radiology, Interventional Vascularization, and Pathology.

These experts have high professional attainments and reputation in their respective fields, and the MDT will effectively improve the diagnosis and treatment process of lung cancer, reduce patients' need to seek medical treatment, consultation, confusion and unnecessary economic burden, maximize the cure rate of tumors, and improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients.

The current status of lung cancer treatment

Early stage lung cancer is mainly treated by surgery (for those who refuse surgery due to physical condition, chronic disease, age, etc., stereotactic radiotherapy is feasible); intermediate stage and locally advanced stage is mainly treated by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy; and advanced stage is mainly treated by internal medicine such as chemotherapy, targeting and immunotherapy.

Surgery can be used throughout the treatment process of lung cancer;

Precise and targeted radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy are involved in 75% of lung cancer patients;

Internal medicine has entered a new era of targeted immunotherapy;

Minimally invasive treatments, such as particle implantation, radiofrequency ablation, and interventional therapy, as a recurrence of the disease after surgery and radiotherapy, have provided new treatment choices for lung cancer patients;

The treatment of lung cancer patients has also become the mainstay of medical treatment, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, radiotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy.

Cancer pain and nutritional support therapy also improve the quality of life and maintain the dignity of patients.

What kind of situation needs MDT

Lung tumors need MDT in the whole process from consultation to diagnosis, from diagnostic pathology, staging to treatment, but not all patients need it, so what kind of situation needs it?

The first type: lung space is found in the CT examination due to physical discomfort or physical examination, at this time, is it benign or malignant? The pathology is not clear, and the diagnostic staging is not certain, then it is necessary to organize the MDT discussion, to take the appropriate means of examination to clarify the diagnosis, and to improve the accuracy of the staging, which will help to reduce the unnecessary diagnosis and treatment.

The second type: For patients with clear pathology and staging diagnosis of lung cancer, MDT is conducive to the adoption of the best individualized treatment plan in the initial treatment or multiple treatments, and the MDT discussion can enable more early and middle and late stage lung cancer patients to receive multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment; it is conducive to the treatment according to the guideline and evidence-based medicine; it is conducive to the development of individualized treatment plan with the patient in mind; and it is conducive to the patient-centered treatment plan. It is also conducive to the development of patient-centered and individualized treatment plans, as well as to the improvement of doctors' clinical diagnosis and treatment ability and scientific research ability.

MDT work form

For first-time patients, difficult and critical patients, and patients with unclear diagnosis of lung cancer, MDT consultation will be carried out in a timely manner to clarify the diagnosis and formulate an individualized treatment plan;

For patients who are difficult, have complex conditions, or need to consult famous experts, we will promptly invite domestic famous experts to carry out remote MDT via the Internet, which will help to improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment ability and scientific research ability.
