How should you treat cancer? After being diagnosed, most patients collapse and become very irrational. There are still many misunderstandings in the treatment of cancer. Many people think that there is no cure for cancer. cured, so they have a negative mentality and refuse all treatments. The reason why patients have these misunderstandings is because they don’t understand or don’t understand it deeply enough. So today I will bring you several methods of treating cancer to help those who need it. I hope they can recover as soon as possible.
For cancer treatment, traditional treatment methods include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and new treatment methods include immunotherapy. Let’s take a look at them one by one.
1. Surgical treatment
Advantages: As a common local treatment method, especially for early-stage cancer, after the scope and size of the disease are clarified, direct resection has a high cure rate;
Disadvantages: Not all cancer patients are suitable for surgery. For many patients with mid-to-late stage cancer, especially those who are older and have suffered from chronic diseases for many years, this situation is not suitable. For surgery, other methods can only be used;
Risks: Surgical treatment has certain risks. For example, lung lobectomy may affect respiratory function in patients with lung cancer, and amputation may affect mobility in patients with osteosarcoma.
2. Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy, also known as radiotherapy, is a treatment method that uses rays of various energies to irradiate tumors to inhibit and kill cancer cells. About 70 Cancer patients require radiation therapy at different stages of the disease's course.
Advantages: For patients with mid-to-late stage cancer, preoperative surgery can reduce the scope of the tumor and achieve the effect of downstaging, creating conditions for surgery; intraoperative palliative care; postoperative radiotherapy for incompletely resected areas. , can prevent recurrence.
Disadvantages: Radiotherapy has limited effect on patients with systemic tumors such as leukemia, and has many side effects, such as dry mouth, throat tumors, and loss of taste function.
3. Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the application of chemical drugs (including endocrine drugs, etc.) to treat malignant tumors. Chemotherapy drugs are often injected intravenously, orally or in other forms into the body to kill tumors. . Currently, there are roughly three categories of chemotherapy drugs: traditional cytotoxic drugs, targeted drugs and biological agents.
Advantages: Targeted drugs have developed the fastest in recent years. Except for biliary system tumors, almost all tumors currently have targeted drugs.
Disadvantages: The side effects are actually very serious, such as decreased blood count, nausea, vomiting, and phlebitis. Chemotherapy drugs will be distributed throughout the body after entering the body. They not only have an effect on solid tumors, but also on the body's internal organs. Other cells have stronger killing effects.
4. Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a relatively new method of treating cancer. If you pay attention to the medical industry, you should be familiar with it, but what I want to talk about today is 6 This is a compound immunotherapy. You may be a little unfamiliar with this. This is a new generation of cellular immunotherapy technology from Japan's Tongren Cancer Research Institute, which has obtained dual patent rights from Japan and South Korea. So what is 6 types of compound immunotherapy?
(Operated in facilities approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of Japan)
6 types of compound immunotherapy, as the name suggests, consists of 6 types of immune cells interacting with each other Collaboration and fighting together to fight cancer cells, what is the principle of its treatment? Extract the immune cells existing in our body outside the body, activate and proliferate them, and then inject them back into the body, thereby strengthening the fight against cancer. immunity therapy.
Advantages:
1. Using the patient’s own immune cells, it has small and almost no side effects. Six types of compound immunotherapy can improve the effect of the three standard therapies and improve the patient’s survival. period, improving the quality of life of patients;
2. Research in recent years has proven that immune cell therapy can improve systemic immunity and improve the overall treatment effect of patients;
3. Outpatient clinic The treatment does not require hospitalization. A course of treatment lasts about 4.5 months. The treatment is basically an intravenous drip every 3 months. If there is no serious condition after the drip is completed, hospitalization is almost not required.
4. Applicable to almost all cancers, with a treatment effectiveness rate as high as 78%.
Disadvantages:
HIV-positive people who have received internal organ or bone marrow transplants cannot receive treatment.
The process of 6 types of compound immunotherapy:
1. Examination at the beginning of treatment
The patient should decide which examination to carry out after discussing with the doctor.
2. Start of treatment
Based on the examination results or the patient's condition, treatment will begin after the doctor agrees.
3. Blood collection
First, perform the first blood collection. The amount and method of blood collection vary depending on the treatment content.
4. Cell culture and processing
5. Immune cell drip and injection
Inject the cultured immune cells into the body by drip.
Finally, I would like to remind cancer patients that although medical standards continue to develop and treatment technologies are constantly innovating, so far, there is still no method that can completely cure tumors. Cancer treatment must rely on authoritative hospitals and Formal treatment by authoritative experts.
