Experts from Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou remind that although diet therapy is very popular, lung cancer patients should not completely rely on it, but should pay more attention to scientific treatment.

*Surgery, in addition to the appropriate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are effective in treating early cancer, but certain patients in late stage of cancer may not be tolerate surgery well as they can be relatively weak. A combination of carefully planned minimally invasive therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can effectively reduce the side effects and discomfort of treatment and may help patient get better efficacy.
