Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with a high mortality rate. The key to its treatment is whether it can be treated in time. With the continuous development of treatment technology, if the treatment is timely, the function of the lungs can be preserved to a large extent. However, it is recommended to combine multiple methods for treatment. The following is an introduction to the treatment of lung cancer: 1. First, we need to identify the type of lung cancer Lung cancer is divided into small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer according to pathology. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for the vast majority, about 75%, and small cell lung cancer accounts for about 25%. Non-small cell lung cancer can also be subdivided into squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, etc. Large cell carcinoma develops relatively slowly, which is convenient for timely treatment, but the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is slightly poor. Small cell lung cancer develops faster, but is sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is good. At the same time, both can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine, such as "cell restoration tumor suppression therapy". 2. Secondly, look at the stage of lung cancer Internationally, lung cancer is divided into four stages: I, II, III, and IV for the convenience of treatment. Among them, the tumors in stage I and II are smaller and have no distant metastasis, which are easier to remove. Surgery can be used as the main treatment, combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. For stage III, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine are the main treatments. For stage IV lung cancer, surgery is not allowed. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine are the only treatments. Those who cannot tolerate it should use traditional Chinese medicine as a conservative treatment. 3. The third thing to look at is the patient’s physical condition Whether the patient's important organs function normally or not is of great reference value for the formulation of lung cancer treatment plan. Whether the heart, lung, liver, and kidney functions are normal, whether the blood picture is normal, and whether there are cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension and other basic diseases are very important in deciding what kind of treatment plan to take. Not only the stage and cell type of lung cancer itself should be considered, but the effect of the treatment plan and the patient's prognosis depend on these comprehensive factors. Late-stage lung cancer is generally incurable and is mainly treated with chemotherapy. However, chemotherapy can only solve local problems and cannot cure various diseases throughout the body. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine also has unique advantages in the treatment of lung cancer and its application can be appropriately considered during the treatment process. |
