Is there any good way to treat lung cancer? You should pay attention to these matters when treating lung cancer

In recent decades, the incidence of lung cancer has been rising sharply, which is closely related to people's lifestyle and living environment. In particular, the number of patients in industrial cities in Europe, the United States and my country has increased significantly. Smoking and industrial pollution are all causes of lung cancer. Lung cancer can seriously endanger people's lives and health, and its prevention and treatment must be taken seriously.

At present, the main factor causing lung cancer in my country is still smoking. With the increase of work pressure and business social activities, the number of smokers has increased year by year. The incidence rate of lung cancer ranks first and third among common malignant tumors in men and women respectively. The prevention and treatment of lung cancer is urgent.

As we all know, cigarettes contain a variety of carcinogens. When inhaled, they can cause respiratory diseases or skin cancer, leading to proliferation of bronchial mucosal epithelial cells, which in turn lead to lung cancer. In addition, people who live or work in heavily polluted industrial areas for a long time are also prone to lung cancer. Chemical substances such as petroleum and coal will release substances such as benzopyrene carcinogenic hydrocarbons after burning, which can induce lung cancer after entering the human body. People who work in mining areas for a long time will develop lung cancer due to the presence of radioactive substances. Other causes of lung cancer include chronic lung diseases, family heredity, metabolic and secretory abnormalities, etc.

The first choice of treatment for lung cancer is surgery, which can completely remove the tumor, reduce the pain caused by the disease, and prolong the patient's life. For patients who cannot undergo surgery or are unwilling to undergo surgery, radiotherapy can be given, and patients who use this treatment method can increase their survival time by about 5 years.

Lung cancer patients should also pay attention to rehabilitation treatment. Through the coordination of mental, dietary, and drug treatments, the patient's life span can be further extended and the pain can be relieved. Patients should maintain an open-minded and optimistic attitude towards life and face life and disease with a positive attitude. They must not be depressed all day long, which can easily aggravate the condition and reduce the effect of treatment. In terms of diet, they should insist on eating light and easily digestible food, and greasy, fried, spicy and other foods are prohibited. Patients after surgery should pay attention to replenishing qi and nourishing blood, while patients who undergo radiotherapy should eat more foods such as walnut kernels and pipa fruit that nourish yin and nourish blood.

Lung cancer patients must stop smoking immediately, stay away from environments containing large amounts of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and benzene, eat more vegetables and fruits, and pay attention to the supplementation of nutrients. When patients recover to the point where they can take care of themselves and carry out normal physical activities, they can participate in more social activities to improve their quality of life and achieve the goal of prolonging their lives.
