Does lung cancer want radiotherapy

Does lung cancer want radiotherapy
On the famous medical magazine " lancet " of Britain, the retrospect of what is a cancer in the past 30 years studies. It finds astonishingly, to some kinds of lung cancer patients, it is a question that is worth discussing to employ the radioactive treatment. Indicate to 9 the intersection of research and materials of person who didn't get cellule type lung cancer, carry on radiotherapy can enable patients lose the chance to survive more in fact behind the operation, especially those cancer patients not spreading yet. It is not cellule type malignant tumour that includes lung cancer of different cell types between 10 multi-type, accounts for 80% of the case. Among them 1/5 can treat through surgery, the ones that continued were constructed by radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The scientists of Cambridge of Britain have studied 2128 lung cancer patients of several countries. Probably half of people are appointed to accept postoperative radiotherapy at random, include some lung cancer patients not infringing the lymph node yet. The survival rate of the patient who accepts radiotherapy of two years after the operation is 48%, and the survival rate of patient who only undergoes an operation is 55%, that is to say that does not need radiotherapy, the result is better. A research reveals, do not only demonstrate good function after patient's radiotherapy until those later period. And other three research show, including cancer has not infringed the patient of the lymph node, radiotherapy has brought the serious damage. So, a lot of once regarded radiotherapy as the doctor of the regular means, had already begun to reconsider their healing solution. Now, doctor multi-purpose postoperative radiotherapy come on, deal with operation, can't reach or infringe get lung or the intersection of cancer and organization of lymph node outside the lung already. The scientists point out, the dosage of postoperative radiotherapy of lung cancer was too big in the past, this was obviously harmful. The excessive treatment will cause similar bronchus pneumonia and so some acute radioactive pneumonia. In fact, this may be one of the reasons to cause cancer patient death. (Di KaiJun Zhang JingBo)
