Common treatments for small cell lung cancer

Common treatments for small cell lung cancer:

There are three commonly used treatments for small cell lung cancer: general treatment, drug therapy, and surgical treatment.

1. General treatment

Once small cell lung cancer occurs, nutritional support therapy is required to actively maintain the balance between water and electrolytes. Pain should also be evaluated and treated appropriately, while preventing adverse drug reactions. Every patient should undergo symptom screening, evaluation and treatment, and follow up regularly as recommended by the doctor, and adhere to long-term follow-up.

2. Drug treatment

For patients with small cell lung cancer, they can consult a doctor for drug treatment. For example, irinotecan hydrochloride injection and relyoside soft capsules can have a good therapeutic effect. Reasonable use of drugs can control the spread and development of cancer cells and relieve sputum and cough to a certain extent.

3. Surgical treatment

For example, patients with small cell lung cancer who are in good physical condition and have no contraindications to surgery can be treated with lobectomy and lymph node cleaning to prolong survival and help restore lung function. However, some patients have chest or distant metastases, which are not suitable for surgical treatment.

Patients with small cell lung cancer need to maintain a calm mind, adhere to disease treatment, quit smoking and drinking, and reduce spicy and irritating foods.
