How much does it cost to treat lung cancer?

Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor of the respiratory system. The disease may not have any symptoms in the early stages. As the tumor progresses, coughing, sputum and blood in the sputum may occur. It may also be accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness, chest pain and difficulty breathing. Lung cancer generally occurs in middle-aged and elderly patients. The possibility of lung cancer in children is relatively low. For those with surgical indications after diagnosis, surgical treatment should be considered. The specific cost cannot be determined and is directly related to the level and region of the hospital visited. The severity of the patient's condition is different, the examination items are different, the treatment methods are different, and different hospitals have different charging standards, resulting in different treatment costs. The cost of treating lung cancer is about 50,000-200,000 yuan, which needs to be determined according to the patient's condition and treatment methods.

What are the immune drugs for treating advanced lung cancer?

At present, there are five immunotherapy drugs clinically used to treat lung cancer, namely pembrolizumab, nivolumab, durvalumab, atezolizumab, and carrelizumab, including three that are applying for lung cancer indications to be marketed in China, namely toripalizumab, sintilimab injection, and tislelizumab. Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor of the respiratory system. The main treatment methods currently include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted drugs, immunotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine, which need to be considered in combination with factors such as patient pathology, tumor stage, and physical condition. Generally, nivolumab can be chosen.

Symptoms of advanced lung cancer brain metastasis

Some patients also experience sensory abnormalities such as hyperesthesia, and also present with clinical symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage and acute stroke. Once lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, it indicates that the lesion has reached the late stage and the prognosis is poor. Once lung cancer metastasizes to the brain in the late stage, the main symptoms are headache, vomiting, and papilledema. The brain is one of the common metastatic sites for patients with advanced lung cancer.
