1. Can patients with recurrent lung cancer undergo surgery again?
Once the lung cancer relapses after operation, whether it can be operated or not depends on both the patient and the focus. If it is a localized focus recurring more than 2 years after operation, if the patient is in good physical condition (PS score: 0.1), and the function of each organ can tolerate operation, surgical treatment can be performed, which can improve life treatment and prognosis. On the contrary, patients with multiple lesions that relapse in a short period of time and patients with poor physical activity are not suitable for surgical treatment.
2. What are the points for attention of patients with lung cancer after operation?
At present, surgical surgery advocates rapid postoperative recovery, in order to reduce postoperative stress reaction and reduce complications. The concept of rapid recovery runs counter to the ideas of some patients, and some patients even refuse to cooperate with treatment, increasing the risk of complications. Therefore, we advocate early removal of invasive conduit, early respiratory function exercise, early eating, early ground activity and so on after lung cancer operation. early pulmonary function exercise can increase lung compliance, reduce pleural effusion, improve sputum excretion and increase vital capacity; early getting out of bed activity is the earlier the better without affecting the patient's condition, and the amount of activity, exercise intensity and time should be determined according to the patient's tolerance and tolerance. In addition:
Patients who used to smoke must quit smoking. Quitting smoking will help to improve the effect of treatment.
Go to the hospital for regular reexamination as required by the doctor.
According to the treatment plan, the postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be completed on time and in sufficient quantity.
Moderate exercise, step by step, to ensure the supply of nutrition, mainly vegetables, fruits, high-protein diet, eat a little per meal, but not more.
[patient misunderstanding].
I am weak after the operation and need to stay in bed. Why should I go to the ground so early? I can't cooperate with the doctor.
