Is lung cancer treatable?

Agony of patients with lung cancer: missing the best treatment time due to long waiting time in the government hospital? Denied admission by certain hospitals for being too sick? Fuda Cancer Hospital can help! We feature minimally invasive therapy and specialize in the treatment of early, intermediate and advanced cancer.

Traditional surgery: unsuitable for patients with advanced lung cancer due to large trauma. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy is a common treatment but its toxic and side effects, such as hair loss and vomiting do great harm to human body.

The latest anti-cancer treatments: great improvement of survival rate, low risk, minimum side effects, low recurrence rate and no need for surgery, which can reduce the physical damage and thus are more suitable for frail patients with advanced cancer.

An advanced lung cancer patient has lived a 6-year high-quality life after treatment at Fuda.

Mr. Lin, Thai, survives for 6 years with advanced lung cancer.

In 2013, Mr. Lin was diagnosed with a central type of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in his right lung. Then doctors there recommended an open surgery to cut 2/3 of his lung. "My father is too old to withstand this painful surgery. So we refuse it," Mr. Lin's family said with anxiety. In October 2013, Mr. Lin smoothly underwent a right lung tumor biopsy, cryosurgery and brachytherapy. In October 2018, Mr. Lin returned to Fuda for reexamination which showed he was in good condition. So far, he has been surviving for 6 years. Click here to read his story.

For patients with advanced lung cancer in Malaysia, there is no better way except systemic chemotherapy

Multiple medical teams of Fuda Cancer Hospital, including experts in endoscopy, interventional, minimally invasive, anesthesia, and thoracic surgery, are doing their best to treat the patient. Dean Dr. Niu Lizhi personally performed radiofrequency ablation + freezing + stent implantation for the right endobronchial tumor for the patient

Classification of lung cancer

Lung cancer can be divided into two main categories: non-small cell lung cancer (85%) and small cell lung cancer (15%). Non-small cell lung cancer is divided into squamous cell carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and large cell ( undifferentiated) carcinoma three.

Staging and treatment of lung cancer

(The treatment plan for each stage of lung cancer is for reference only and cannot be used as the sole basis for clinical treatment)

• Lung cancer stage 0: Tis (carcinoma in situ), N0 stage, M0 stage;
Phase 0 treatment plan: photodynamic therapy (PDT), particle implantation therapy

• Stage I lung cancer: T1~T2, N0, M0—the tumor is still in the lung;
Phase I treatment plan: Surgical resection, interventional therapy, cryotherapy, nano knife, microwave ablation, integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine

• Stage II lung cancer: T1~T3, N0-N1, M0——has metastasized to hilar lymph nodes;
Phase II treatment plan: Surgical resection, interventional therapy, cryotherapy, nano knife, microwave ablation, integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine

• Lung cancer stage III: any T stage, any N stage, M0 stage - the metastasis has reached the mediastinal lymph nodes;
Phase III treatment plan: interventional therapy, cryotherapy, particle implantation therapy, nano-knife, microwave ablation, integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine;

• Lung cancer stage IV: any T stage, any N stage, M1 stage - there has been distant organ metastasis, such as the spine, brain, liver, skin and other distant tissues;
Phase IV treatment plan: interventional therapy, cryotherapy, nanoknife, microwave ablation, particle implantation therapy, gene targeted therapy, integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine;

•Lung cancer recurrence: The main sites of lung cancer recurrence are lymph nodes, pleura, kidney, liver, bone and brain.
Recurrence treatment options: interventional therapy, cryotherapy, nano-knife, microwave ablation, particle implantation therapy, gene-targeted therapy, integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine
