Surgery

In lung cancer surgery, the surgeon will have the option to remove the cancer and parts of the tissue marginalizing it. Some of the procedures that are used to remove the cancer inside the lungs are:

1. Pneumonectomy - removal of the entire lung
2. Lobectomy - removal of the entire lobe of just one lung
3. Wedge resection - removal of a tiny section of a lung which contains the cancer cells together with portions of healthy tissues surrounding it.

When surgery is done, the surgeon may or may not opt to remove the adjacent lymph nodes from the inside of your chest in order to check for cancer cells as well. If the nodes are found out to contain some cancer cells, metastasis is indicative. Surgery for 肺癌 has different risks like infection and internal bleeding. Pain may be experienced after the surgery, therefore medicines to mask it are to be prescribed. Soon, rehabilitation or physical therapy will be suggested by your physician in order to restore the client's active range or motion and muscle strength.
