Postoperative chemotherapy is usually 4-6 times after mid-stage lung cancer surgery, which still depends on the patient’s condition.
Patients with intermediate stage lung cancer have a relatively higher chance of recurrence and metastasis in the later stage, so most of them need postoperative chemotherapy to reduce the recurrence rate. Generally speaking, patients with intermediate stage lung cancer need chemotherapy 4-6 times after surgery, but it depends on the patient’s physical condition, pathological type and so on, and it is not completely fixed.
In general, chemotherapy after mid-stage surgery for lung cancer is a double-drug combination therapy, and the specific dose and time are determined according to the patient’s condition. If liver injury or severe bone marrow suppression occurs during the period, chemotherapy can be terminated earlier and other adjuvant treatments can be used to prevent recurrence.
