Surgery for advanced stage lung cancer with multiple metastases is less effective, and radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy and comprehensive therapy are usually the main treatments.
1. Radiotherapy: multiple metastases in advanced stage of lung cancer can be considered to adopt radiotherapy to alleviate the condition, which is mainly based on the action of radiation on local tissues, which can inhibit the activity of cancer cells and help treat malignant tumors.
2. Chemotherapy: chemotherapy generally utilizes oral and injected chemotherapeutic drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy is one of the effective means of cancer treatment, and it has certain efficacy for patients with advanced lung cancer with multiple metastases, and the commonly used drugs are etoposide, pemetrexed, and so on.
3. Targeted drug therapy: Targeted drug therapy can precisely act on malignant cells, which can make cancer cells die specifically, and has the function of regulating and stabilizing cells, and can effectively relieve the condition. Common drugs include Gefitinib, Crizotinib and so on.
4. Comprehensive treatment: patients with advanced lung cancer with multiple metastases usually have poor physical strength, and may be accompanied by pain, dyspnea, malignant fluid, etc. According to the situation, symptomatic supportive treatments such as pain relieving, nutritional support and oxygen absorption can be given.
There are many treatment modes for multiple metastases in advanced stage of lung cancer, and patients should keep a good mindset and actively cooperate with treatment in daily life. It is specifically recommended to consult doctor and choose appropriate treatment under doctor’s guidance.
