Lung Cancer Chemotherapy
Lung cancer is the cause of death among men and women, and she took second place with breast cancer. The main cause of lung cancer is smoking cigarettes. Some experts believe that cancer cells of small cell carcinoma have had with smoking.
Lung cancer begins in the lungs and lung cancer themselves. The occurrence of lung cancer in the lungs and cells of this stage is called primary lung cancer. At the exit of more than 90% of primary lung cancer and chest in this type of cancer called bronchogenic carcinoma.
There are two types of lung cancer, one of which is a small cell cancer (SCLC) and the other is not a small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). There are three subtypes, not lung cancer. This is a squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and Large Cell Carcinoma undifferentiated.
Causes of lung cancer
Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. There are approximately 90% of lung cancer among men and 80% among women. The risk of developing lung cancer depends on duration and quantity of tobacco products. People facing these substances, or exposure to a large possibility of lung cancer. Approximately 1% of lung cancer caused by air pollution. People with other lung diseases such as tuberculosis and fibrosis may suffer from lung cancer as adenocarcinoma and alveolar carcinoma.
What is chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer, in which drugs are used injection into a vein or through a drip. A combination of 2-3 different types of chemotherapy drugs are also used for the treatment of chemotherapy. Your treatment depends on the type of cancer, the drug you have the answer for cancer, etc.
To small cell lung cancer, chemotherapy is the primary treatment, because it gives a response to chemotherapy. Other treatments such as radiation and surgery, a local treatment. Nevertheless, chemotherapy is a treatment that treats the whole body. Using the basic treatment of cancer cells can be detected in any part of the body. Microscopic distributed at the beginning of lung cancer. You can use chemotherapy before radiation. Dr may suggest chemotherapy after surgery or operation, if it is possible for early-small cell lung cancer. The response of small cell lung cancer in this combination is that doctors are to study other combinations, which yield better results than the combination.
The reaction of these cells is that cancer and small cell lung. Chemotherapy may be taken before and after treatment with radiation therapy. Cancer cells are not found in the course of chemotherapy given after radiotherapy. But it is at an advanced stage of lung cancer, non-small cell doctors then offer the radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cancer. Chemotherapy, or with gemcitabine, vinorelbine or platinum paclittaxel is the first choice for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer in stage 3 and 4. If the cancer continues to grow, while maintaining treatment with docetaxel. The operation is called NEOADJUVANT to chemotherapy treatment.
