Treatment of lung cancer, symptoms of disease

Lung cancer is a real medical and social problem. In men (smoking and working in harmful enterprises - the main causes of the disease), it is in the first place in terms of the prevalence of cancer.

The disease is insidious: for a long time it can not give any symptoms. A tumor often begins to metastasize sooner than it is found.

In stages, lung cancer is classified, like any other cancer:

• Stage 1 - small tumor and lack of metastases;
• Stage 2 - tumor up to 5.9 cm and metastasis to regional lymph nodes;
• Stage 3 - tumor more than six centimeters, transition to another segment;
• Stage 4 - distant metastases.

Treatment of lung cancer depends, first of all, on the stage of the disease. Therefore, regular screening surveys of the population are needed with special attention to smokers and those working in hazardous production.

Treatment of lung cancer can be:

• Radical;
• Palliative;
• Conditional-radical with the addition of chemotherapy or radiation.

Radical will be considered a surgical method of treatment. With it, the lobe of the lung is removed. It is important to observe the principle of ablastics, therefore the operation is done for a long time.

Palliative surgery improves the patient's quality of life, but does not cure the disease to the end.

Conditionally radical treatment of lung cancer is possible with a small tumor that can not be completely removed. But after the operation, the treatment is supplemented with chemotherapy or X-ray irradiation.

But the operation is not always possible. It will not be done if the risk of death on the operating table is too high. In case of cardiac or pulmonary insufficiency, the operation is not performed in most cases.

Once in a desperate situation, a person is ready to do anything to recover.

For example, the treatment of lung cancer in Germany is often effective when domestic doctors do not give up hope.

There are used not only traditional methods: a surgeon's scalpel, nyxes or x-rays. New biological methods of cancer treatment have been developed, and they are actively used in German clinics.

Radiotherapy uses modern equipment, healthy tissues practically do not suffer during the procedure. With chemotherapy, the drug is injected directly into the tumor through an arterial catheter.

Another possibility for cancer patients is the treatment of lung cancer in Israel. The medicine of this country has long been known as one of the best in the world. Here, such treatment methods as gamma-knife and hormone therapy are widely used. The gamma knife gives hope even to patients with metastases, as it can remotely destroy them without even touching the surrounding tissues. In Israel, not only the treatment of lung cancer, but also tumors such as melanoma, uterine and breast cancer, leukemia is successfully carried out. Recover up to 80% of patients with 1 and 2 stage of cancer. In some cases, the same results can be achieved with the third stage of cancer.

Oncological disease can be cured if you seek help in time and do not neglect the modern achievements of medicine.
