Effect of targeted therapy on lung cancer

summary

Uncle appeared cough more than the situation, also not in, after a period of time actually cough bleeding, go to the hospital to check that it is advanced lung cancer, now after a period of treatment, the condition is still stable, then how to treat advanced lung cancer needs us to understand, let's talk about the effect of lung cancer targeted treatment.

Effect of targeted therapy on lung cancer

First: targeted therapy is a drug therapy that acts on new sites for traditional chemotherapy. In fact, both chemotherapy and targeted therapy are drug therapy. Chemotherapy acts on various sites in the cell, such as the time of mitosis in each cell is different. But now on the road of chemotherapy, the original cytotoxic drugs have come to the bottleneck, and it is very difficult to go up again. Many new drugs have not come out.

Second, tumor growth is not only a process of mitosis in cells, but also other processes, such as angiogenesis around cells and the impact of changes in the environment around cells on tumors. Malignant tumors need to start and signal transduction to cause infinite proliferation process. If this signal transduction is blocked, cell proliferation can be prevented. The drugs developed for these targets are now relatively hot targeted drugs.

Third: for some lung cancer patients, such as EGFR mutation positive patients, who are sensitive to TKI drugs, the improvement of survival time is very obvious, which can basically double or triple the survival time of patients. But for the patients with negative gene mutation and no mutation, our treatment progress so far is limited, but it is also making progress. The progress is relatively limited. The survival period of such patients is one year to one and a half years.

matters needing attention

While taking surgery and drug treatment, lung cancer patients can also take some food therapy methods for adjuvant treatment. It will also be effective. You should eat more protein and carbohydrate rich foods, such as lean meat, chicken, duck, rabbit, fish, shrimp, bean products and all kinds of cereals. Generally, you don't limit the amount of food to ensure good nutrition and create good conditions for surgery. Patients should maintain a good attitude, actively face the reality, and cooperate with doctors for treatment.
