Should chemotherapy be required for advanced lung cancer, and is chemotherapy necessary?

Whether chemotherapy is needed for advanced lung cancer depends on the patient's physical condition, the progression of the disease, and the patient's wishes. If the body is in good condition, there are no obvious symptoms of discomfort, and the degree of malignancy of the tumor is low, chemotherapy is not required.

However, if the physical condition is poor, severe dyspnea, chest pain and other symptoms occur, or the tumor is highly malignant and has metastasized and spread, chemotherapy is needed to control the progression of the disease.

In clinical practice, there is no saying that "chemotherapy is necessary for advanced lung cancer, and whether chemotherapy is necessary", but it should be judged according to the specific situation.For patients who are medically well-equipped, chemotherapy can prolong survival and improve quality of life; For patients with poor physical conditions or severe illness, chemotherapy may increase the pain and burden, but it may still have a certain helping effect on the disease.

Chemotherapy is a common treatment, but it also comes with some side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, etc. When deciding whether to undergo chemotherapy, the doctor will take into account the patient's personal situation, the progress of the disease and other factors, and fully communicate with the patient to make a decision. At the same time, patients are also advised to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan and maintain a good attitude and eating habits to promote recovery.
