Should lung cancer be treated with traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine?

Lung cancer can usually be cured with Western medicine.

Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor disease. The cause is still unclear. It may be related to long-term smoking or frequent exposure to ionizing radiation. Symptoms such as cough, sputum, and blood may occur after the disease. Some patients may also experience chest tightness, fever, weight loss, etc. After suffering from this disease, Chinese medicine is generally not used for treatment, because lung cancer is a rapidly developing disease, and the effect of Chinese medicine in treating cancer is relatively slow and cannot significantly inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Therefore, when suffering from this disease, Western medicine is generally used to control the development of the disease.

If you are in the early stages of the disease, you can treat it with surgery, and more common surgical methods usually include bilateral lobectomy, bronchial sleeve lobectomy, etc. If you are in the late stages of the disease, you can treat it with chemotherapy, and more common chemotherapy drugs usually include paclitaxel injection, carboplatin injection, cisplatin injection, etc.

While cooperating with the doctor's treatment, you should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood, avoiding excessive mental stress, and ensuring adequate sleep and avoiding excessive fatigue.
