What should I do if the treatment of advanced lung cancer is not effective?

If the current treatment methods for patients with advanced lung cancer do not achieve the desired results, the situation can be improved through adjusting medication, combined chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, etc.

1. General treatment

1. Adjust medication: Since everyone has different physiques and different sensitivities to medications, you need to choose the appropriate dosage and course of treatment based on your own situation when using medications, and you need to have regular checkups and adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner.

2. Surgical treatment

1. Combined chemotherapy: For patients with more serious conditions, they can follow the doctor's advice to relieve the symptoms through combined chemotherapy. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs include cisplatin injection, carboplatin injection, etc., which can inhibit the spread of cancer cells and thus prolong the patient's survival time.

2. Targeted drug therapy: If your physical condition is relatively good, you can also use targeted drugs such as gefitinib tablets and erlotinib hydrochloride tablets for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which usually has a certain effect.

3. Other methods

In addition, symptoms can be improved through immunotherapy, radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, etc.

Patients are advised to maintain a good attitude and avoid excessive tension or anxiety. At the same time, they should also pay attention to a healthy diet, eat more high-quality protein foods and fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat less spicy, irritating and greasy foods. If obvious discomfort occurs during the period, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
