Lung cancer chest effusion

When talking about cancer, many people think of death. In fact, we can still treat some cancers in the early stages. For lung cancer, it is actually mainly caused by bad living habits. For example, smoking is something that everyone is familiar with. Of course, many interior decoration workers also have a high probability of suffering from lung diseases. So, how to treat chest effusion caused by lung cancer?

Why do lung cancer patients have chest effusion?

1. Why do lung cancer patients have chest effusion?

Lung cancer tumors cause patients to develop hypoproteinemia, allergic diseases, and subsequently pleural effusion. From the above, we can see that the main cause of chest effusion is still due to the occurrence of lung cancer. Why do lung cancer patients have chest effusion?

2. Why do lung cancer patients have chest effusion? Why do lung cancer patients have tumors that continue to grow?

The tumor of lung cancer patients continues to grow, and the lesions invade the chest wall tissue, causing compression of the lungs and visceral pleura, affecting the reabsorption of fluid and protein, and accumulating fluid in the pleural cavity to form pleural effusion. If lung cancer lesions metastasize, the tumor appears in the parietal pleura. Inflammatory lesions may occur when the disease recurs, such as infectious inflammation caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi infecting the pleura, leading to chest accumulation.

3. Why do lung cancer patients have chest effusion? The presence of pleural effusion indicates that the condition is getting worse.

The presence of pleural effusion indicates that the condition is worsening. In a normal person, there is 3-15 ml of fluid in the pleural cavity, which acts as a lubricant during breathing. Even for normal people, 500-1000ml of fluid is produced and absorbed every 24 hours. Pleural effusion occurs in patients with advanced lung cancer mainly because the lymph nodes of the lungs and myocardium are blocked by tumors, causing the body's normal tissue fluid to accumulate in the pericardium, forming pericardial effusion, or accumulate in the chest cavity, forming pleural effusion.

Treatment of pleural effusion caused by lung cancer

1. Currently, the treatments for pleural effusion caused by lung cancer mainly include traditional Chinese medicine treatment and Western medicine treatment. After a large number of clinical observations, traditional Chinese medicine is the most ideal treatment for lung cancer pleural effusion, which can treat both the symptoms and the root cause, in sharp contrast to the high recurrence rate caused by western medicine. Our treatment plan is to use traditional Chinese medicine as much as possible. Why do lung cancer patients have chest effusion?

2. For the treatment of pleural effusion caused by lung cancer, Western medicine mainly relies on extracting the pleural effusion, but it often reappears after extraction and is not easy to completely eliminate. While extracting the pleural effusion, addictive drugs such as anticancer drugs, sclerosants, and immunomodulators are injected into the chest cavity. The mechanism is to directly kill cancer cells and slow down the production of pleural effusion caused by lung cancer. But at the same time it can cause pleural adhesion, which has a poor effect and causes great harm to the patient's body.

3. Treatment of pleural effusion caused by lung cancer with traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pleural effusion caused by lung cancer is a type of "suspended fluid", which means that the evil toxins, phlegm and blood stasis accumulate in the lungs, the lungs fail to clear and purify, and the water stagnates as fluid. The normal operation of human body's water mainly relies on the coordination of physiological functions such as the descending and regulating of lung qi, the transportation and transfer of spleen qi, and the warming and steaming of kidney qi. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine is the first choice for the treatment of pleural effusion caused by lung cancer, unless the pleural effusion cannot be controlled, then other treatment methods will be considered.
