The relationship between lung cancer surgery and recurrent lung cancer

Cancer is a malignant tumor that is difficult to completely cure and is extremely prone to metastasis. Many lung cancers will show symptoms of recurrent lung cancer . For recurrent lung cancer, if you want to perform conventional surgical treatment, you must make comprehensive considerations to achieve effective treatment results.

For some patients whose surgical treatment is not thorough, recurrence and metastasis often occur. Although surgery can remove the cancer, there are still residual cancer, regional lymph node metastasis, or cancer thrombus in the blood vessels, etc., and the chance of recurrence and metastasis is very high. For recurrent or recurrent lung cancer, a comprehensive examination and diagnosis can be performed first. If the patient is suitable for a second operation, surgery can be considered, and corresponding auxiliary treatment can be performed. However, many patients are not suitable for reoperation after recurrence. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be used to inhibit cancer cells, control symptoms, soften and shrink tumors, and then consider whether surgical resection is appropriate. Therefore, generally after the initial surgical treatment of lung cancer, radiotherapy and chemotherapy or traditional Chinese medicine treatment must be performed as an auxiliary treatment to reduce the occurrence of complications and prevent postoperative recurrence and metastasis. The difficulty of treating recurrent lung cancer is often higher than that of primary lung cancer.

Although surgical treatment methods have been greatly improved with the advancement of medicine and technology, clinical verification shows that the total cure rate and 5-year survival rate after surgery are not satisfactory. Therefore, lung cancer surgery cannot be performed blindly, and postoperative adjuvant therapy is equally important. Before performing lung cancer surgery, the patient's whole body examination must be done. For patients with multiple metastases and poor physical fitness, conservative treatment is best.

By explaining the pathological characteristics of recurrent lung cancer, we hope that lung cancer patients can understand the role of surgical treatment for recurrent lung cancer, correctly choose the treatment method according to their own conditions and the degree of disease progression, and maintain a correct attitude towards lung cancer surgery.
