What are the good treatments for lung cancer? It is recommended to use three methods to treat lung cancer after diagnosis

The decline in air quality and the increase in the number of smokers have led to an increasing incidence of lung cancer. However, friends do not need to be negative about the disease after they are sick. After active treatment, many patients have their condition well controlled. During the treatment process, the treatment method and the patient's own mentality also have a great impact. Many people do not know what the treatment methods for lung cancer are. Let us introduce them to you below.

1. Surgical treatment:

Currently, most treatments for lung cancer advocate maximal removal of the lung cancer and maximal retention of lung function. In recent years, more advocates have advocated lobectomy and combined treatment with surgery and multiple methods.

A) Commonly used lung resection methods include: 1) pneumonectomy; 2) lobectomy; 3) sleeve lobectomy; 4) segmentectomy; 5) tumor resection.

B) Standard lobectomy.

C) Cryosurgery.

2. Radiation therapy:

1) Radiotherapy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is often combined with chemotherapy;

2) Radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) includes preoperative radiotherapy, postoperative radiotherapy, radical radiotherapy, brachytherapy and interstitial radiotherapy.

The main complications of radiotherapy include esophageal damage, lung damage, heart damage and myelitis.

3. Chemotherapy:

In recent years, chemotherapy has received increasing attention in the treatment of lung cancer, and chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer should be treated differently.

1) Chemotherapy is the main method for treating small cell lung cancer, which mainly includes: single-drug chemotherapy, combination chemotherapy and alternating chemotherapy.

2) Chemotherapy is far less effective for non-small cell lung cancer than for small cell lung cancer. It mainly includes: single-drug and combination therapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy in radiotherapy.

No matter what treatment method is used for lung cancer, patients should choose a regular large hospital for treatment. At the same time, they should maintain an optimistic attitude to treatment, which is also part of the treatment of the disease. The patient's family should also give enough care and encouragement, and the family should unite to face the disease and defeat it together.
