Lung cancer has spread throughout the body in the late stage, what should I do?

What should I do if my lung cancer has spread throughout my body in the late stage?

For advanced lung cancer that has spread throughout the body, an individualized treatment plan should be adopted based on the pathological type, the patient's actual situation, and the wishes of the patient and his or her family. The main treatment plan should be palliative, symptomatic, and supportive treatment to minimize the patient's pain and improve their quality of life.

It is recommended to treat according to metastasis, chemotherapy, local radiotherapy or Chinese medicine, symptomatic treatment and nutritional support. The systemic spread of advanced lung cancer indicates that the condition is very serious.

How much does chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer cost?

Chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer generally chooses platinum combined with pemetrexed or gemcitabine, and the cost of each chemotherapy is about 10,000 yuan. Chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer can prolong survival time, improve clinical symptoms of patients, and reduce tumors, but simple chemotherapy rarely achieves the purpose of cure.

Can surgery be performed for late-stage metastatic lung cancer?

If lung cancer metastasizes beyond the local lymph nodes and there is no distant organ metastasis, it is necessary to determine whether surgery can be performed based on the specific situation. If the range of lymph node metastasis is relatively large, but after careful evaluation, surgical treatment can still be performed, and adequate radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatment measures should be given after surgery.

The main treatments for patients with advanced lung cancer are surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted drug therapy, biological therapy, stem cell transplantation, PD-1 therapy, etc.
