Can peripheral lung cancer be cured?

1. Peripheral lung cancer is treatable. If it is discovered in time and treated properly in the early stage, it is very likely to be cured. But for patients in the middle and late stages, they have lost the opportunity for treatment and are even more likely to die.

2. Peripheral lung cancer is a tumor disease that occurs in the lungs. It mainly originates below the bronchial tubes of the lungs and can cause irritating dry coughs, expectoration and chest pain. The disease can be treated in the early and late stages, but early treatment is very important. In the early stage, surgical treatment, timely surgical removal of the lesion, and then combined with chemotherapy, such as gefitinib and afatinib, can prevent the growth of cancer cells and effectively inhibit the spread of cancer cells, thereby increasing the chance of cure.

3. However, for peripheral lung cancer that has developed to the middle and late stages, cancer cells have entered the blood or lymph throughout the body, and even metastasized to distant places. It cannot be cured, but chemotherapy or radiotherapy can improve the living environment and prolong survival time. If necessary, thermal ablation therapy can be used, mainly including radiofrequency, microwave, laser, etc., which can play an auxiliary therapeutic role. During the recovery period, patients should eat regularly and quantitatively, and adhere to the principle of eating small and frequent meals.
