What are the misconceptions in lung cancer treatment

  At present, lung cancer is a disease that seriously affects human health, and the incidence and mortality rate of lung cancer are increasing year by year, while the treatment effect of lung cancer is still unsatisfactory, mainly because it is difficult to detect and diagnose lung cancer at an early stage, and many lung cancer patients have already reached the middle and late stage when they are diagnosed, losing the opportunity of surgery.  Another reason cannot be ignored is the irregularities in lung cancer treatment. With the advancement of science and technology, there are more and more treatment methods for lung cancer, various new technologies have emerged, treatment fashions are endless, and medical advertisements are everywhere, which mislead many patients and their families and make patients lose the best treatment time and treatment methods. There are economic interests of medical equipment manufacturers and drug companies, as well as the technical level and professional ethics of doctors, and many non-oncology doctors have started to treat lung cancer. Ultimately, patients suffer from lung cancer.  In summary, there are several misunderstandings in lung cancer treatment: first diagnosis and treatment, violation of tumor treatment principles, and abuse of treatment methods. For example, many patients do not find the right department when they first see a doctor due to the lack of medical knowledge. For example, patients with early to mid-stage lung cancer who can be operated first see an internist, but instead of recommending surgery from the patient’s perspective, the receiving physician introduces many new non-surgical treatments to the patient for his or her own or the department’s financial interests, such as “no surgery, no pain, radical cure”. Of course, these new technologies are one more option for patients with advanced lung cancer who have lost the chance of surgery or who cannot tolerate surgery because of poor cardiopulmonary function, but the principle of lung cancer treatment is a comprehensive treatment based on surgery. However, the principle of lung cancer treatment is surgery-based comprehensive treatment. However, the principle of lung cancer treatment is surgery-based comprehensive treatment, and early and middle stage lung cancer patients may be cured after timely and correct radical surgery.  In order to help lung cancer patients get out of the misunderstanding and receive timely and correct treatment, the Lung Cancer Consultation Center was established, which is led by the Department of Thoracic Surgery and combined with experts from six departments, including respiratory medicine, oncology, radiotherapy, imaging center and pathology, to give a joint consultation to a patient at the same time and formulate a reasonable and standardized treatment plan, so as to avoid the irregular treatment of first diagnosis and treatment and violation of treatment principles in one department. treatment. In the past year since the opening of the center, it has sincerely served every lung cancer patient and has received nearly 100 lung cancer patients of all stages, so that they have received the best and most standardized treatment, which has been well received by the patients.
