1.How long can you live after lung cancer surgery There is no definite answer to how long you can live after lung cancer surgery. A successful lung cancer surgery can greatly improve the survival rate or even achieve a cure, but it is not the only factor. It is also affected by factors such as whether it is the best time for treatment, preoperative and postoperative care, patient’s mentality and patient’s physical function. 2.What to pay attention to after lung cancer What to pay attention to after lung cancer What to pay attention to after lung cancer This article mainly emphasizes two aspects: regular review after lung cancer surgery and what to eat after lung cancer surgery. (1) Regular review after lung cancer surgery Clinical performance shows that the recurrence and metastasis rate of lung cancer patients after surgery is high, so lung cancer patients are required to undergo regular examination and follow-up after surgery. Generally speaking, in the first year after lung cancer surgery, a review should be conducted every three months; in the second year, a review should be conducted every six months, mainly for items related to surgery. Later on, at least one chest CT review should be done annually to help detect microscopic lung lesion metastasis that lasts for a lifetime. Once a problem is detected, it should be treated promptly. For patients who need adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery, some tests should be routinely performed during each chemotherapy session, and if recurrence is detected, it should be dealt with in time. At present, there are fewer and fewer patients with local recurrence after radical lung cancer surgery, and more patients have distant metastases, such as bone metastases, brain metastases and abdominal organ metastases. If bone metastasis occurs, follow the treatment of bone metastasis to prevent and control the occurrence of bone-related events, such as treatment of pathological fracture and bone pain, and systemic chemotherapy, or second-line treatment. (2) What to eat after lung cancer surgery Patients with lung cancer can determine their diet according to their condition after surgery. Some patients can eat on the second day after surgery, but they should start with clear flow, and food should be light, soft and easy to digest and absorb, because surgical trauma will cause dysfunction of the digestive system. If there is no adverse reaction in the gastrointestinal tract, then transition to semi-liquid and general diet. In the week after surgery, elemental meals should also be supplemented to replenish the nutrition in the body. When the patient is discharged from the hospital and is able to eat normally, the elemental diet will be canceled. Regardless of before or after surgery, it is necessary to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as green, yellow and red vegetables, mushrooms, black fungus, asparagus, lemon and red dates, etc., because fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which is a cancer inhibiting substance and can block the production of cancer cells. Do not eat or eat less stimulating foods, including fried foods. Do not smoke or drink alcohol, develop good living and eating habits, and have regular physical examinations for timely diagnosis and treatment.
