Approaches to surgery for early stage lung cancer

Early stage lung cancer patients can be treated by surgery, and common surgical methods include local resection and extended resection, which need to be chosen according to their own conditions. 1. Local resection: local resection includes segmental resection and wedge resection. It is suitable for lung cancer patients with small tumor tissue or very early stage, and this surgical method is less traumatic and easy to recover, in addition, older patients with poor lung function can also consider local resection. 2. Expanded resection: this surgical method includes sleeve-shaped lobectomy, total lobectomy and so on. Expanded resection can increase the proportion of tumor resection, but due to the large trauma, the probability of complication is higher. Early stage lung cancer can be treated by surgery, but the way of surgery needs to be determined by doctors according to the patient’s general condition as well as the comprehensive situation of the disease, and it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to receive active treatment.
