Can Pulmonary Fibrosis be Prevented in Cancer Patients?
Preventing pulmonary fibrosis in cancer patients involves careful management of cancer treatments to minimize lung damage. Strategies include:
Using the lowest effective doses of potentially toxic chemotherapeutic agents. Employing advanced radiation techniques to target tumors more precisely and spare healthy lung tissue. Regular monitoring of lung function during and after cancer treatment. Promptly addressing any respiratory symptoms that arise during cancer therapy.
