Lung cancer is a common disease in life. However, due to people's limited understanding of lung cancer, many patients find that their condition is already advanced. So after the advanced stage, can lung cancer be cured? In fact, as long as the method is correct, although lung cancer can not be completely cured, it can certainly prolong the life of patients. Here is the treatment of advanced lung cancer. Surgical treatment of lung cancer Traditionally, surgery is the first choice for radical treatment of lung cancer. For non-small cell lung cancer, except for some stages Ⅲ b and Ⅳ, surgical treatment should be given priority to. Even for locally advanced lung cancer, other treatment methods can be used, such as reducing the cancer focus first and then striving for surgical resection. The main disadvantage of surgical treatment is that it may leave residual lesions, which may easily lead to recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells. Chemotherapy is one of the main methods of traditional lung cancer treatment, which can be used alone or as an important measure of comprehensive treatment. However, because of the great side effects of cancer chemotherapy, it often causes many toxic side effects, complications and sequelae, which brings great harm to the majority of lung cancer patients. Radiotherapy and radiotherapy have great side effects, which will cause physical weakness, decreased immune function, bone marrow suppression, digestive tract disorder and so on. Then there will be adverse reactions such as loss of appetite, loss of food intake, nausea, vomiting and hair loss. More seriously, it will damage the patient's main organs such as liver and kidney. The above is the treatment of advanced lung cancer. I hope you can learn more about lung cancer after reading it. I also hope that patients can actively treat lung cancer, which is very helpful for treatment.
