First, the conventional treatment methods for advanced cancer mainly include these four kinds of treatment methods for advanced cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
1. surgery. Although a small number of tumors have reached the advanced stage and developed metastasis, only surgical resection of the primary and metastatic lesions, followed by dissection of lymph nodes and surrounding tissues, still have a certain therapeutic effect. Such as live metastasis of gastric cancer.
2. chemotherapy. Injecting some chemical drugs, such as Guitaxibine and Paclitaxel, can kill tumor cells, but it can also cause damage to normal cells.
3. radiotherapy. Generally, certain radiation irradiation is used to kill tumor cells. Radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy at the same time, so the therapeutic effect will be significantly improved.
4. Chinese medicine treatment. There are no good methods in western medicine for some advanced cancers, but some Chinese medicines can improve the internal environment and immunity, thus inhibiting the growth and spread of tumor cells.
It is recommended to use drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and it is recommended to operate under the guidance of a doctor.
Second, it is still necessary to treat advanced lung cancer. It is necessary to actively treat advanced lung cancer. After treatment, the clinical symptoms of some patients can be completely relieved, the survival time can be prolonged and the quality of life can be improved.
Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor, which seriously threatens human life and health.
Because of its deep growth site, it is not easy to be found, so some patients have missed the best opportunity for early surgical treatment when they are diagnosed. However, due to the progress of medicine, the treatment of advanced lung cancer in bed has made great progress in recent years.
At present, the treatment of advanced lung cancer mainly adopts different methods according to the pathological classification of the tumor.
If chemotherapy is used to treat small cell lung cancer, the focus can be reduced or even subsided, and the symptoms of patients can be alleviated; Targeted therapy for lung adenocarcinoma patients with gene mutation can prolong the survival of most patients, improve symptoms and improve the quality of life of patients.
In short, patients with lung cancer can still improve their condition through chemotherapy or radiotherapy even if the tumor has developed to the advanced stage and surgery is no longer possible.
However, both radiotherapy and chemotherapy have certain side effects, and patients need to bear some pain.
Of course, for terminally ill patients, if the disease process can't be stopped, we can only adopt palliative treatment methods, such as Chinese medicine treatment, in order to alleviate the suffering of patients.
