What are the treatments for lung cancer? The 3 best treatments for lung cancer

Lung cancer is a very sensitive topic. When many people hear that their relatives and friends have this disease, they feel very sorry and have expressions of disbelief. They are all trying to find treatments for the patients. How can this stubborn disease be treated? Many people will choose radiation or radiotherapy for treatment. Let's take a look at it below.

1. Radiation therapy

Since the cancer cells of early lung cancer do not spread and metastasis is relatively slow, the lesions at this stage are mainly local invasions, and radical treatment is often used. For patients with small cell carcinoma, radiotherapy is the best treatment method, which requires irradiation of the bilateral supraclavicular areas of the mediastinum, the primary lesion, and even the liver and brain, while using drugs for adjuvant treatment.

2. Preoperative radiotherapy

How to treat early lung cancer? Preoperative radiotherapy is also one of the treatments. This therapy is mainly used to prevent tumor spread during surgery and improve the resection rate of surgery. For patients who have no difficulty in surgical treatment, less-fractionated, high-dose radiotherapy can be performed before surgery; for patients with large tumors or external invasion, who may have difficulty in surgical resection, conventional fractionated radiotherapy is required.

3. Radiotherapy after surgery

Among the issues that patients are concerned about in the treatment of early-stage lung cancer, radiotherapy after surgery cannot be ignored. This therapy is mainly used for patients whose preoperative estimates are insufficient and whose tumors are not completely removed after surgery. In specific treatment, silver clips need to be placed at the local residual lesions to facilitate accurate positioning during radiotherapy.

The above is the radiotherapy method for lung cancer. Our patients can use the above methods to treat their bodies. During the treatment process, patients must cooperate with their families and doctors. We cannot let ourselves immerse ourselves in the pain of death every day. We must actively seek treatment methods so that our bodies can recover. I wish you all a speedy recovery!
