Treatment of Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is a common cancer and cause of death. Basic treatments for lung cancer is chemotherapy to help prolong the life of patients. With lung cancer patients, genetic testing will help doctors make appropriate treatment for the patient to control the cancer cells. The treatment of lung cancer: Surgery is surgery to remove the tumor. Surgery is still the best treatment for patients with cancer. Currently cutting lobar resection is surgery to help complete tumor, if the tumor is larger, the two lobes can cut or cut out a lung. Surgery is the treatment of lung cancer, the doctor conducting parts depending on the location of the tumor in the lung. Surgery to remove only a small portion of the lung is called the lobe resection or wedge shaped cut. When surgeons removed a lung lobe, the entire procedure called lobe resection. Lung cancer cure when lung resection is depriving an entire lung. Some tumors are inoperable (can not be removed by surgery) because of the size or location of the tumor and some patients can not perform surgery because of other health reasons. When there is no surgery be, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are only valid support help relieve pain, reduce coughing. Chemotherapy helps prolong the life of patients. Chemotherapy is the treatment of lung cancer using anti-cancer drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. Even after the cancer is removed from the lung, cancer cells may still be present in nearby tissue or in a particular area of the body. Can cure lung cancer when chemotherapy applied to control the growth of cancer cells, either to relieve symptoms. Most anticancer drugs are put into the body by intravenous directly or through a catheter inserted into a large vein and saved until they are no longer needed. Some types of lung cancer drugs in tablets. Treatment with radiation therapy is lung cancer using high energy rays to destroy cancer cells. Radiation directed at a limited area and only acting on cancer cells in that area. May use radiation before surgery to shrink the tumor or after surgery to destroy all cancer cells remaining in the surgery. Your doctor can treat lung cancer using radiation, usually in combination with chemotherapy for the initial treatment instead of surgery. Radiation can also be used to relieve symptoms such as shortness of breath. In the treatment of lung cancer often use external radiation. Also can bring radioactive sources (small box containing radioactive material) directly into the tumor or tumor near the (radiation pressed). Treatment of cancer-small cell lung cancer patients do not have health small cells can be treated in several methods. Choice of method depends mainly on the size, location and extent of the tumor. Surgery is the most common method to treat this type of lung cancer. Cryosurgery, freezing treatments cause tissue damage and cancer, can be used to control symptoms in the later stages of the cancer non-small cell. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be used to slow the development of disease and symptom control. Treatment of small cell cancer, small-cell lung cancer can spread rapidly. In many cases, the cancer cells may have spread to other parts of the body when the disease is diagnosed. To reach cancer cells throughout the body almost the doctors always use chemotherapy. The course of treatment can include the application of radiation to a tumor in the lung screening or tumors in other parts of the body (such as in the brain). Some patients with lung cancer treated by radiation in the brain even though no cancer found in this region. This therapy, also known as cranial radiation therapy prevention, duocap to prevent the formation of tumors in the brain. Surgery is part of a plan to treat lung cancer word for a small number of patients with small cell lung cancer.
