At home and abroad, the incidence and mortality of bronchial lung cancer are in the forefront of malignant tumors, and lung cancer poses a great threat to human health. The curative effect of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of bronchial lung cancer is more significant than that of traditional Chinese medicine or western medicine alone. Therefore, according to some literatures about the treatment of lung cancer, this article will review the treatment of bronchial lung cancer with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine from the aspects of traditional Chinese medicine combined with surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
