Lung squamous cancer bone metastasis patients with back pain can take medication as prescribed by doctors to relieve the pain, and radiotherapy, targeted therapy and interventional therapy are also feasible.
1. Drug treatment: When bone metastasis of squamous lung cancer induces back pain, patients can usually take ibuprofen, indomethacin, celecoxib and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by doctor to relieve the pain. If the patient’s pain symptoms are severe, codeine, morphine and other drugs can be applied to relieve the pain as prescribed by the doctor if necessary. Bisphosphonates can also be used regularly for anti-bone metastasis treatment.
2. Radiotherapy: Chemotherapy drugs commonly used in clinic include Guicarbine, Paclitaxel, Pemetrexed and so on, which can kill cancer cells. At the same time, radiotherapy can also kill cancer cells and thus inhibit the progression of the disease. If necessary, radiotherapy can also be performed for bone metastasis.
3. Targeted therapy: commonly used drugs include gefitinib, crizotinib and bevacizumab.
4. Interventional therapy: common treatments include bronchial artery perfusion chemotherapy, ultrasound-guided interventional therapy, etc., which can also help to control the progress of the disease.
It is suggested that patients with back pain due to bone metastasis of squamous lung cancer should cooperate with doctors to choose appropriate treatment according to their own conditions, so as to reduce pain and prolong the survival period.
