' Patients and their families are generally confused about surgical treatment of lung cancer. On the one hand, the risk of surgical treatment is relatively high, and there is recurrence. On the other hand, some patients have seen their tumors spread faster after surgical treatment, shortening their survival period. So what kind of lung cancer patients are suitable for tumor treatment? Can surgery be performed again after surgical treatment for recurrence? Drug Shipping (Iressa India Direct Shopping Network) briefly analyzes the surgical treatment of lung cancer. Let patients and their families understand the surgical treatment options for lung cancer.
The purpose and risks of surgical treatment of lung cancer
Surgical treatment of lung cancer is the complete removal of the primary tumor in the lung and the locally metastasized lymph nodes. Gentle surgical procedures or postoperative adjuvant treatment can generally reduce the risk of tumor spread and metastasis. However, some malignant cells may fall off during surgery, or may metastasize or localize along blood vessels or lymphatic vessels, or there may be existing tumors in small vessels around the tumor before surgery, which are all causes of surgical tumor metastasis and recurrence. factors, so there is a certain risk.
Conditions for re-operation after recurrence of lung cancer
The issue of re-operation for tumors that recur after surgery depends on the recurrence or metastasis. If it is an isolated metastasis in the lung, there is no metastasis elsewhere in the body, and there are no contraindications to surgery, it can be resected surgically. Otherwise, you have to choose other treatment methods.
The reason why tumors spread faster after lung cancer surgery
Whether cancer cells spread after surgery is determined by the nature of the cancer cells and the patient's individual situation. Benign ones will not spread quickly, and malignant ones generally have poor surgical effects. , will almost certainly spread. In addition, if radiotherapy and chemotherapy are performed after surgery, which destroys the body's immune function, the cancer will soon metastasize.
What kind of surgical treatment options can be used for lung cancer patients
In the current clinical treatment options for lung cancer, surgery is the main treatment method for early-stage lung cancer and is also the preferred treatment method for most malignant tumors. For advanced lung cancer malignancies Because the effect of surgical treatment is poor, surgical treatment is generally not recommended. Targeted drug treatment such as Iressa, Tarceva and other drugs can be selected for conservative treatment.
