How to treat pleural effusion of middle and late stage lung cancer? Try these three methods to treat lung cancer

Pleural effusion in advanced lung cancer may be malignant pleural effusion. At this moment, surgical resection is the best way to improve the disease. Later, radiotherapy and chemotherapy will have a better therapeutic effect. At the same time, in order to relieve the patient's pain, the treatment plan should be determined through clinical practice to understand whether to perform surgery first, or radiotherapy and chemotherapy first.

After the diagnosis of pleural effusion in advanced lung cancer, the patient should receive radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and surgery can also be considered to improve the disease. However, if there is a lot of pleural effusion, it will lead to a decrease in resistance, and the patient will experience asthma, insomnia, cough, chest pain, etc., especially bloody pleural effusion, which may cause more harm. The following is a detailed introduction to how to treat pleural effusion in advanced lung cancer?

First, pleural effusion in advanced lung cancer can lead to changes in pleural permeability and obstruction of pleural lymphatic vessels, which can damage the balance of pleural fluid. At this time, it is best to use pleural perfusion chemotherapy or vascular targeted therapy to prevent malignant tumor cells from metastasizing to the pleura, thereby preventing the symptoms from worsening. I believe that after a period of treatment, the symptoms can be relieved in a short time, and patients do not need to worry too much.

Second, if there is pleural effusion in patients with advanced lung cancer, it is best to use chest tube intubation and pleural effusion drainage to relieve chest tightness and dyspnea. During this period, pleural effusion examination should also be performed. If the amount of effusion is large, it is generally necessary to infuse some chemotherapy drugs or use recombinant human angiostatin through an indwelling tube to achieve the purpose of controlling pleural effusion.

Third, after the diagnosis of pleural effusion of middle and late stage lung cancer, surgical treatment can be performed first, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used to stabilize the condition in the later stage, but radiotherapy and chemotherapy have certain toxic effects. At this time, the treatment should be based on anti-tumor Chinese patent medicine to reduce the harm of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. For example, ginsenoside Rg3 can improve physical fitness, enhance immunity, reduce pain, and eliminate the harm of pleural effusion of middle and late stage lung cancer after using it for a period of time.

Lung cancer in the middle and late stages may be accompanied by pleural effusion. In the early stages, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and biological agents can be used to improve the disease. Only symptomatic treatment for a period of time can inhibit tumor angiogenesis and prevent tumor proliferation and metastasis. At the same time, it is very important to remind patients that the use of Chinese medicine during treatment can improve physical fitness, enhance immunity and resistance, relieve pain, and prolong survival, thereby completely curing the disease.
