What are the surgical treatments for lung cancer? There are generally 5 types of surgical methods used to treat lung cancer

In people's lives, I believe that when we hear the word lung cancer, our first reaction is surgery, but when it comes to specific surgery, I believe that most people can't tell one, two, three. After all, people think that various cancers are quite far away from themselves, so they don't know what surgical treatments are available for lung cancer? 1. Sleeve lobectomy: Sleeve lobectomy is very common in the surgical treatment of lung cancer. Sleeve lobectomy is mostly suitable for patients whose tumors are located in the lobar bronchus and involve the lobar bronchial opening. 2. Lobectomy: The second surgical treatment for lung cancer is the removal of the lobe. 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, the upper middle lobe or lower middle lobe can be removed. 3. Carina resection and reconstruction: When the tumor exceeds the main bronchus and involves the carina or the tracheal side wall but does not exceed 2cm, carina resection and reconstruction or sleeve pneumonectomy can be performed, and one lobe of the lung can be retained during surgery. 4. Local resection: Local resection is suitable for patients with very small primary cancers, the elderly and weak with poor lung function, or patients with well-differentiated cancers and low malignancy. Wedge-shaped cancer block resection and lung segment resection are performed. 5. Immunotherapy: For patients who cannot undergo surgery immediately, chemotherapy and biological immunotherapy can be used to shrink the tumor to achieve the purpose of lowering the stage, and then seize the opportunity for radical resection. Or radiotherapy can be used as the main treatment, and biological immunotherapy can be used as an auxiliary treatment, with significant therapeutic effects. The above contents are some types of surgical treatments for lung cancer summarized by doctors and experts through their years of treatment experience. If a patient finds that he has lung cancer, he must treat it with a positive attitude. If he can cure his disease, then he can get through so many difficult surgeries.
