Lung adenocarcinoma invading the pleura can be treated by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
1. Surgery: If the invasion scope is small, the tumor has not widely spread and the patient is in good physical condition, surgery can be chosen to remove the tumor. However, surgery is not suitable for patients with extensive dissemination of the tumor in the pleura.
2. Radiotherapy: if lung adenocarcinoma invades the pleura, radiotherapy can be used to destroy the tumor cells by the killing effect of radiation, so that the cancer foci can be reduced or even disappeared.
3. Chemotherapy: Lung adenocarcinoma invading the pleura can be treated with systemic chemotherapy, which can alleviate patients’ symptoms and improve the quality of life, and increase the survival rate, and the commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs nowadays include carboplatin, paclitaxel, vincristine and so on.
Currently, commonly used chemotherapy drugs include carboplatin, paclitaxel, vincristine and so on. Lung adenocarcinoma invading the pleura can also be treated with targeted therapy and immunotherapy, etc. Patients should set up confidence in the treatment of the disease, go to the hospital as soon as possible, and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors, which is expected to gain a longer survival period.
