What are the symptoms and treatment of lung cancer

summary

Because of lung cancer, I have been coughing recently, and I often feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. The physical quality is getting worse and worse, because the condition is not very serious. The doctor suggests conservative treatment. Next, I'll tell you about the symptoms and treatment of lung cancer?

What are the symptoms and treatment of lung cancer

First, the clinical manifestations of lung cancer are complex. The presence, severity and occurrence of symptoms and signs depend on the location of the tumor, pathological type, metastasis and complications, as well as the difference in the degree of reaction and tolerance of patients. The early symptoms of lung cancer are often mild, even without any discomfort. Central lung cancer symptoms appear early and severe, peripheral lung cancer symptoms appear late and light, even asymptomatic, often found in physical examination. The symptoms of lung cancer can be roughly divided into local symptoms, systemic symptoms, extrapulmonary symptoms, infiltration and metastasis symptoms.

Second, radiotherapy is the best for small cell lung cancer, followed by squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. The radiation field of lung cancer should include the mediastinum of primary tumor and lymph node metastasis. At the same time, it should be supplemented by drug treatment. Squamous cell carcinoma has moderate sensitivity to radiation, the lesions are mainly local invasion, metastasis is relatively slow, so radical treatment is often used. Adenocarcinoma is not sensitive to radiation and easy to metastasize, so radiotherapy alone is rarely used. Radiotherapy is a local treatment, which often needs combined chemotherapy.

Third, segmentectomy is the dissection of the lung segment. It is mainly suitable for elderly patients with peripheral isolated early lung cancer with poor cardiopulmonary function, or partial central lung cancer with limited lesions at the root of lung cancer; lobectomy lobectomy is suitable for peripheral and partial central lung cancer with lung cancer limited in one lobe, and central lung cancer must ensure no residual cancer at the bronchial stump. If the lung cancer involves two lobes or intermediate bronchi, upper middle lobe or lower middle lobe lobectomy is feasible.

matters needing attention

For lung cancer treatment must be as early as possible, or later symptoms will become more serious, and the growth and differentiation of cancer cells is particularly fast. Surgical treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used as treatment options, which can further inhibit and hinder the metastasis and diffusion of cancer cells.
