Lung cancer mediastinal lymph node enlargement, long-term treatment will make it shrink

Lung cancer mediastinal lymph node enlargement, long-term treatment will not make it shrink need to be combined with the specific situation analysis.

Lung cancer mediastinal lymph node enlargement is usually caused by cancer cells spreading through the lymphatic system to the lymph nodes. For this case, most patients will usually improve after long-term treatment, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy, and the enlarged lymph nodes will also significantly shrink. However, due to different treatment methods and different individual responses to treatment, some people, especially patients treated with single treatment, do not improve significantly after treatment, and mediastinal lymph nodes may still be enlarged.
