Lung cancer metastasis to lymph nodes can still be treated, but the treatment method needs to be selected according to the specific circumstances. For patients with lung cancer metastasis to local lymph nodes, the treatment methods include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Surgery can remove metastatic lymph nodes and surrounding tissues, but it needs to be determined according to the patient's physical condition and tumor conditions. Radiotherapy can use radiation to kill tumor cells, and has a certain therapeutic effect on patients with local lymph node metastasis.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill tumor cells. For advanced lung cancer patients or inoperable patients, it is often used as the main treatment method. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are used to treat tumors by targeting specific targets on tumor cells or activating the patient's own immune system. In addition to the above treatment methods, comprehensive treatment methods can be used to improve the treatment effect. In addition, supportive treatment is also important, including nutritional support, pain management, etc., to improve the quality of life of patients.
