How to surgically treat central lung cancer? What tests should be done for this type of lung cancer?

Central lung cancer is very risky to operate on because the tumor is located near the hilum of the lung, adjacent to the heart, large blood vessels and nerves. In addition, patients are very likely to have hilar lymph node metastasis in the early stages, making it difficult for surgery to achieve the desired effect. If surgery is performed, patients need to combine traditional Chinese medicine with synergistic treatment before and after treatment to enhance their tolerance to surgery and improve the efficacy of surgery.

Central lung cancer refers to malignant tumors that occur in the main bronchi, lobar bronchi and segmental bronchial openings. The pathological types are mostly squamous cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma. The cause of the disease is often closely related to long-term heavy smoking. Traditional treatments for central lung cancer include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, gamma knife treatment and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. So how should central lung cancer be treated surgically?

Central lung cancer is a type of cancer caused by organic lesions in the lungs, which results in malignant tumors. The morbidity and mortality of this type of lung cancer are very high, and the causes are often related to environmental pollution, radiation, smoking, and chronic lung diseases. The most common clinical symptom of central lung cancer is localized wheezing. As the tumor gradually grows, the patient will experience fever, chest tightness, and breathlessness. As the condition of patients in the middle and late stages worsens, metastatic symptoms will also occur.

The most effective examination methods for central lung cancer include tracheal and bronchial tomography, sputum cytology, bronchography, CT examination, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, etc. After professional examination and diagnosis, patients should choose the appropriate treatment method according to their own conditions. For patients with early lung cancer that has not spread or metastasized to other parts, surgical treatment is recommended, which can effectively cure lung cancer and prevent further spread of tumor cells.

After lung cancer is diagnosed, traditional surgical treatment should be the first choice, and the cure rate is the highest when the stage is early. In addition, patients can also choose pulmonary artery and bronchoplasty for treatment. This type of surgery is widely used in the treatment of central lung cancer because it can preserve normal lung tissue to the maximum extent and improve the patient's quality of life after surgery. If the advanced cancer cells continue to spread, the patient must undergo chemotherapy or local radiotherapy, and use targeted therapy and other methods to control the disease according to the situation.

In addition, patients also need to receive postoperative adjuvant treatment according to the stage after surgery. For example, in traditional Chinese medicine treatment, patients can use drugs such as Forsythia suspensa, Lithospermum officinale, Peach Kernel, Panax notoginseng, etc. These Chinese medicines can reduce the tumor in a short period of time, stabilize the condition, prolong the patient's survival, effectively control the metastasis and spread of tumor cells, and enhance the body's immune function.
