Can invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma be cured?

Generally, if it is early-stage invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma, timely treatment may result in a cure; however, if it is intermediate- or advanced-stage invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma, a cure may not be possible. It is recommended to visit a hospital promptly for examination and undergo symptomatic treatment under a physician's guidance. The analysis is as follows:

If invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma is detected at an early stage, meaning the tumor is small and has not metastasized to distant sites, surgical removal of the tumor combined with adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy offers a high cure rate. At this stage, the tumor has not yet spread to other organs, and surgery can more thoroughly eliminate the tumor tissue, potentially resulting in a cure.

If the invasive pulmonary adenocarcinoma is at an intermediate or advanced stage with lymph node metastasis, especially widespread distant metastases, or if the patient's physical condition cannot tolerate surgery and surgical intervention is not an option, the clinical outcome may be poor, and most cases cannot be cured.

Patients should also maintain a positive mindset, actively cooperate with treatment, pay attention to diet and rest, and improve their quality of life during the treatment process.
