Principles of Comprehensive Lung Cancer Treatment

  The treatment of lung cancer should be individualized for the first time and comprehensive treatment in the future according to the stage of disease, pathology, physical condition, patient’s will and economic conditions.  Specific treatment methods include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine, biological immunity, etc.  Integrated treatment is not a simple superimposed treatment or sequential treatment of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy (e.g. chemotherapy after radiotherapy or radiotherapy after 6 cycles of chemotherapy), but an organic combination of various treatments, choosing simultaneous radiotherapy, post-operative radiotherapy, post-operative chemotherapy or sandwich treatment as needed.
