Three common treatments for lung cancer: surgical treatment
The purpose of surgical treatment is to completely remove the focus and local lymphoid tissue of primary lung cancer and preserve healthy lung tissue as much as possible. For all types of lung cancer, if the focus is small, the primary tumor is confined in the bronchus, and distant metastasis has not yet occurred. The patients are generally in good condition, and the five-year survival rate after operation can reach 50%. However, most patients in the later stage, such as extensive hilum, mediastinal lymph node metastasis, pleural or pericardial metastasis, extrathoracic lymph node metastasis, or distant organ metastasis, combined with heart, lung, liver, kidney and other dysfunction, are not suitable for surgical treatment.
chemotherapy
Anti-cancer drugs can inhibit the growth and reproduction of cancer cells and kill them. In fact, it can be used alone in palliative treatment of advanced lung cancer cases to relieve symptoms. More often, it is combined with surgery and radiotherapy to prevent cancer metastasis and recurrence and improve long-term survival rate. Among all types of lung cancer, undifferentiated small cell carcinoma is the most sensitive to anticancer drugs and has the best curative effect, followed by squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. At present, most chemotherapy methods are intermittent combination of multiple drugs, combined with the principle of cell dynamics, to play a coordinating role between drugs, and the treatment effect is the best.
radiotherapy
Radiotherapy is a local method to kill cancer lesions. Among all types of lung cancer, undifferentiated small cell carcinoma is the most sensitive to radiotherapy, followed by squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Most cases of lung cancer have a wide range of lesions at the time of diagnosis, and there are some adverse situations such as distant metastasis. Those who are not suitable for surgical treatment should consider radiotherapy or anticancer drugs to improve symptoms and prolong life. The 3-year survival rate and 5-year survival rate of lung cancer patients who are unwilling to undergo surgery are about 10% and 3% respectively.
Teach you six ways to prevent lung cancer 1, and stay away from tobacco.
Smoking has been proved to have a great relationship with the occurrence of lung cancer, and staying away from tobacco can greatly reduce the risk of lung cancer. No matter how long you have been smoking, it is never too late as long as you have the determination and perseverance to quit smoking.
2, actively exercise, improve the body's immunity.
Physical exercise can increase vital capacity, enhance immunity and improve health.

Twenty minutes of physical exercise every day can refresh people, enhance immunity and reduce the risk of cancer.
3. Maintain a reasonable and healthy weight
Being overweight and obese is not good for a person. Because, severely obese and overweight people, the lungs are under greater pressure. Columbia University research found that in the United States, obese adults have a higher proportion of lung cancer. Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight and eating rhythmically is the guarantee of health.
4. Eat more fruits and all kinds of green vegetables.
According to the survey of American Cancer Society, some fruits and vegetables containing vitamins, minerals and trace elements have a certain inhibitory effect on cancer cells, which can effectively reduce the risk of cancer. Most experts in the domestic medical field believe that the best way to keep healthy is to eat healthily.
5. Stay away from kitchen fume pollution
According to statistics, the carcinogen contained in oil fume is dozens of times that of a cigarette. Therefore, cooking in the kitchen should be done well. Especially housewives, don't blindly like those high-temperature fried foods, which is not good for human body. The effect of range hood is not good. Opening the window to welcome the natural wind is the best way.
