Is surgery necessary for lung cancer

Lung cancer patients do not necessarily need surgery. Whether lung cancer patients need surgery depends on the specific conditions of the patient's condition. For lung cancer, the most important treatment is surgical treatment, but some patients cannot undergo surgical treatment due to distant spread and metastasis of the lesions.

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the lungs. It can be divided into early, middle and late stages according to the severity of the disease. For early and middle stages of lung cancer and a few middle and late stages of non-small cell lung cancer, the preferred treatment method is surgical treatment, which can generally remove the lesions. Early lung cancer can be completely removed, and in the middle and late stages, the range of resection can be expanded as much as possible to further kill tumor cells. However, for some late-stage lung cancers, since the lesions have spread and metastasized to distant sites, surgical treatment is not possible. Generally, comprehensive treatment methods such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be used.

Lung cancer should be detected and treated early. Once discovered, cooperate with the doctor in time to take effective treatment and pay attention to regular check-ups in the hospital.
