    Neither radiotherapy nor chemotherapy is a symptomatic treatment, not only can not guarantee that cancer cells will not metastasize again in the future, but even leave more potential problems for patients, not only will the patient's immunity and quality of life decrease, but the potential problems and cancer cells will also come back again due to low immunity, making the disease more difficult to control. After the patient's immunity is reduced, all organs will be affected, and the appearance of different patients is very different. Please believe that the dialectical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is that only the patient's continuous improvement of immunity is the basis for obtaining a long-term and thorough and ideal curative effect, on the contrary, whether you do radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and then "successful" temporary remission is unreal and meaningless.

    For patients with advanced disease who have developed extensive metastases, systemic therapy (i.e., chemotherapy or targeted drugs) is generally the main treatment. However, because the local ** treats the symptoms but not the root cause, radiotherapy is only given when the quality of life is seriously affected or life-threatening.

    For example, radiation to the brain (which seriously affects the quality of life and can be fatal at any time).

    Radiation therapy to the bones (when the bone pain is very intense and cannot be relieved, or when the location is sensitive and prone to fracture or paraplegia).

    Radiation therapy to the lungs (when breathing is affected in a particular location, such as at the hilum).

    Adenocarcinoma cancer cells exist in the blood, and when the lesions are gone, the cancer cells that continue to multiply in the blood will always come back. It still depends on the whole body ** to control.

    My sister has been diagnosed with advanced lung adenocarcinoma since the beginning of 09, during which she has experienced chemotherapy, targeted drugs, and some gains and losses in the process and drug purchase channels. We are willing to communicate and share with all patients.

    Hello, radiotherapy has a certain effect on the head lesions of brain metastases of lung cancer, which can not only relieve pain, but also control the further development of the lesions to a certain extent. However, due to the differences in the sensitivity of different individuals to radiotherapy, and the toxicity of radiotherapy alone, they not only kill tumor cells, but also kill the cells of normal tissues, and these cells and tissues are important immune defense systems of the human body, destroying the body's immune system, cancer cells may develop rapidly, leading to aggravation of the disease, and even shortening the life of the patient. It is recommended to use comprehensive **, taking traditional Chinese medicine can comprehensively regulate the internal environment of the body, replenish qi and nourish blood, strengthen the right and dispel evil, effectively control the disease, relieve pain, and prolong life.

    The decision to use chemoradiotherapy depends on the patient's physical fitness score. Older age, weak constitution, less eating, poor heart function, etc. are not suitable for chemoradiotherapy.

    Radiotherapy is currently used for brain metastasis of lung cancer, because chemotherapy drugs generally cannot cross the blood-brain barrier and cannot kill tumor cells that metastasize to the brain, so radiotherapy is generally used. The effect of radiotherapy varies from person to person, and in general, it has certain benefits for improving symptoms (such as headache, dizziness, some nerve compression symptoms, etc.) and prolonging survival, but radiotherapy will also have ***, such as causing edema at the radiotherapy site for a short time, but in general, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

    The main way of brain metastasis of lung cancer is radiation, and there are also surgeries, but it depends on the number of metastases. If there are two, three, or five metastases, the surgery is not worth it, and only radiation** can be done. Radiation**There are now two situations, one metastasis is radiated and one metastasis is radiated.

    There is also a way, that is, for fear that after the radiation lesion is completed, there will be brain metastases in other parts, so simply do whole brain radiation, and do a preventive irradiation for the parts that do not have brain metastases. After whole-brain prevention, there is controversy about whether to supplement the primary metastases and give more doses. Therefore, the most critical way of brain metastasis is brain radiotherapy, the method of local brain radiotherapy, there are whole brain irradiation, there are metastatic lesions, one by one, and now equipment such as gamma knife, as well as Thom that tomography machine, can treat this multiple brain metastases.

    For patients with brain metastases, the general survival time is only 2-3 months. If radiotherapy is done, there is a median survival time of 8-10 months, and 50% of patients have a survival time of less than 8-10 months.

    In the past, when there were no new drugs for lung cancer brain metastases, chemotherapy was also relied on, and the effective rate of chemotherapy was less than 20%, in fact, the effect of chemotherapy was minimal. Lung cancer brain metastasis in the past, or now, the role of radiotherapy is still more important, some new targeted drugs have a history of nearly 15 years, there are more ways to have brain metastasis in this part of patients with gene mutations, relatively speaking, if it is a relatively small lesion, in fact, most of them are relatively small lesions, many patients have no symptoms, but we found in routine examinations that this part has no symptoms, and if the patients with relatively small lesions have gene mutations, in fact, they can give him targeted drugs, very simple, take the medicine home orally. I'm talking about non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer currently has no targeted drugs, or mainly rely on radiotherapy, in the past, patients with brain metastases can not live for half a year, and now patients with brain metastases even live for four or five years, so now I am very optimistic, especially non-small cell lung cancer, we have called it a chronic disease, in fact, now the development of tumor ** is very good, for patients, it has also increased a lot of hope.

    Definitely useful! Brain metastasis of lung cancer is not the most important factor affecting the prognosis of patients! About 50% of lung cancer patients with positive driver genes can be given corresponding targeted drugs orally**, and intracranial lesions can also be powerful**, radiotherapy can better control intracranial lesions, and targeted** combined with radiotherapy can effectively prolong the survival of patients!
