Lung adenocarcinoma is completely cured after early surgery.
Lung adenocarcinoma is a kind of lung cancer. In the early stage, most of the patients have no symptoms, the tumor is located in lung tissues without metastasis or infiltration to the surrounding tissues and organs, and the 5-year survival rate can be up to 70% after surgical resection under the doctor’s guidance with adjuvant treatments of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc.; for tiny infiltrative adenocarcinoma, the 5-year survival rate can be up to 100% in general.
In early stage of lung adenocarcinoma, the preferred surgery under doctor’s guidance is usually lobectomy plus hilar mediastinal lymph node dissection. If the patient’s imaging examination shows ground glass nodule, sublobar resection, which includes segmental resection and wedge resection, can be considered under doctor’s advice.
After early surgery for lung adenocarcinoma, patients should pay attention to rest, wear masks when going to public places to prevent infection, follow doctor’s instructions for timely review, and pay attention to quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, eating a balanced diet, taking proper exercise, and having regular medical checkups in daily life. If you feel any discomfort, you should go to the hospital immediately to avoid delaying your condition.
