Is it okay to remove lung nodule cancer at an early stage?



Early resection of lung nodular cancer, with higher cure rate, is not necessarily good, it depends on the pathology report after surgery, and the degree of deterioration, and whether there are high risk factors for recurrence. Regular review is still needed after lung cancer surgery.

The effect of these early stage nodular lung cancers after surgical resection is often still good. There are some patients who have metastasis or recurrence after surgery, such as brain metastasis, etc. It is considered that the cancer cells have broken through the blood-brain barrier to reach the intracranial area in the early stage of the disease, but it is just that they have not been found at the beginning.

For lung nodular carcinoma with higher malignancy, it is generally recommended to have postoperative chemotherapy as well as to see whether there is suitable targeted drug therapy according to genetic test in order to further reduce the postoperative recurrence rate and improve the cure rate.

It is suggested that patients should keep relaxing in their daily life and go to regular hospitals for regular review and symptomatic treatment to avoid deterioration of the condition.
