Argon-helium knife has a certain therapeutic effect on large peripheral lesions of lung cancer, but it needs to be combined with systemic chemotherapy. Argon-helium knife can use physical methods to raise the temperature and freeze it, causing tumor cells to explode and die quickly, thus playing the role of local treatment of tumors. Argon-helium knife provides a new option for the treatment of lung cancer. Argon-helium scalpel treatment has relatively low requirements on patients, and usually patients can tolerate the surgery. For patients with advanced lung cancer, palliative tumor resection with argon-helium knife can reduce the tumor burden, improve the quality of life, and extend the patient's survival time.
Treatment methods for lung cancer
The choice is related to its stage. Early-stage lung cancer is best treated with surgery. As the disease progresses, other treatment methods such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be used. Argon-helium scalpel can be considered.
