What are the surgical treatment methods for lung cancer? Introduction to 5 surgical treatment methods for lung cancer

As for lung cancer, we all know that if effective treatment is not adopted and cancer cells are allowed to grow, it will seriously threaten the patient's life and health. For lung cancer, many people choose surgical treatment. So, what are the surgical methods for cancer treatment? Lung cancer surgery mainly includes local resection, lobectomy, sleeve lobectomy, pneumonectomy, carina resection and reconstruction. During resection, normal lung tissue should be preserved as much as possible on the basis of completely removing the primary lesion and the lymph nodes that may metastasize in the chest cavity. (1) Local resection Local resection is suitable for patients with very small primary cancer, elderly and weak lung function or well-differentiated cancer with low malignancy. Wedge resection of the cancer mass and lung segment resection are performed. (2) Lobectomy For isolated peripheral lung cancer, limited to one lobe without obvious lymph node enlargement, lobectomy can be performed. If the tumor involves two lobes or the middle bronchus, upper middle lobe or lower middle lobe lung resection can be performed. (3) Sleeve lobectomy Sleeve lobectomy is mostly suitable for patients whose tumor is located in the lobar bronchus and involves the lobar bronchial opening. (4) Pneumonectomy: When lung cancer lesions are extensive and local resection cannot remove the lesions, pneumonectomy can be performed. This should be carefully considered. (5) Carina resection and reconstruction: When the tumor exceeds the main bronchus and involves the carina or the lateral wall of the trachea but does not exceed 2 cm, carina resection and reconstruction or sleeve pneumonectomy can be performed. During the operation, we should try to preserve one lobe of the lung. Through the above introduction, do you find that there are many ways to surgically treat lung cancer? For lung cancer patients, no matter what treatment method is used, patients need to choose according to their own physical condition and condition. Only in this way can the fundamentals of the body be maintained while achieving a healing effect.
