1.What kind of lung cancer do I have? First of all, the type of lung cancer should be diagnosed based on pathology. For example, is it small cell lung cancer or non-small cell lung cancer? Adenocarcinoma or squamous carcinoma? Or other types of lung cancer? This is one of the most important questions. There are many types of lung cancer, and pathological diagnosis is a prerequisite for all treatment options. Without pathological diagnosis, even the best doctors will have no way to start. 2.What is the stage of tumor? In other words, from imaging tests, such as chest CT, show what stage the cancer is in. 3.What is the molecular pathological staging of the tumor? In addition to traditional pathology, for lung cancer, it is necessary to know what the molecular pathological typing of the tumor is and whether it is a specific gene mutation, such as EGFR, ALK, etc., which can allow patients to use targeted drugs. 4.What is the purpose of treatment? Is it a radical treatment plan or a palliative treatment plan? Radical treatment is aimed at cure, while palliative treatment is aimed at prolonging life and improving quality of life, and there is a fundamental difference between these two strategies. 5.What is the specific plan of curative treatment? If it is a curative purpose, does it require only surgery, only radiotherapy, or chemotherapy (including targeted drugs) with it, or does it require surgery + radiotherapy + chemotherapy at the same time? Why did the doctor choose this option? What are the advantages? What is the impact on survival? 6.How should the follow-up be arranged after the completion of treatment? Follow-up is very important for patients. For lung cancer, even if a patient is cured, there is still about 30% chance that a second tumor will appear in his or her lifetime. For patients who are not cured, follow-up is also important to improve the quality of life. Follow-up visits are generally recommended once every 3-6 months after treatment, then once every 6 months after 2-3 years, and once a year after 5 years for life. The concept of follow-up is relatively lacking in Chinese patients, but it is very, very important. 7.What is the expected 5-year survival rate of patients? What is the expected 5-year survival rate according to the type and stage of cancer? Chinese people are more taboo to talk about death, but if it is acceptable to the patients and acceptable to their families, they are still expected to ask this question. This is because it is a better way for both the patient and the family to be prepared for the future. 8.What is the 1-year survival rate of stage 4 lung cancer? If it is determined to be stage 4 advanced lung cancer, what is the 1-year or 2-year survival rate? Stage 4 lung cancer is currently considered incurable, so we do not talk about 5-year survival rate, but 1 year or 2 years. This way, the patient and family can make appropriate arrangements for life and work.
