Patient's question:
My husband has been experiencing light cough recently. He usually smokes, so he thought it wasn't a big deal. However, he has developed low-grade fever again. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that he has stage II lung adenocarcinoma. I want to ask the doctor, how is stage II lung adenocarcinoma treated with medication? Are there any methods you can recommend?Doctor's answer:
Lung adenocarcinoma is one of the pathological types of lung cancer. This type of lung cancer can be surgically treated, of course, provided that surgical treatment is still feasible. For example, if a patient's condition is severe or if multiple metastases reappear, surgical treatment may not be possible. Currently, it is recommended that the patient seek follow-up treatment at a higher-level hospital. Further imaging tests and other examinations can be conducted to determine how the patient has developed lymph node or brain metastases, etc. Based on these findings, a decision can be made on whether to prioritize surgical treatment or conservative treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
