Treatment of Pulmonary Diseases

The goal of pulmonary disease treatment is to alleviate symptoms, improve patients' quality of life, and slow disease progression. Treatment strategies are usually tailored based on the type of disease (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, or lung cancer) and severity. Physicians develop personalized treatment plans by combining medication, non-pharmacological therapies, and lifestyle adjustments according to individual patient conditions. Early diagnosis and continuous monitoring are key to preventing complications.

The choice of treatment methods must consider both acute and chronic stages of the disease. During acute exacerbations, immediate use of bronchodilators or corticosteroids may be necessary; chronic management emphasizes long-term medication control and lifestyle modifications. Additionally, interdisciplinary team collaboration—including respiratory therapists, nutritionists, and thoracic surgeons—is crucial to enhance treatment efficacy and safety.
