Should patients with advanced cancer still be treated

Effective treatment for advanced cancer can significantly prolong the survival period and improve the quality of life. Many patients with advanced cancer are discouraged and give up treatment, which is actually a misconception. In fact, this is a misconception. The treatment of advanced cancer is mainly palliative treatment, the purpose of which is very different from before, not to remove cancer cells to completely cure cancer, but to control the growth of tumor so that the tumor and the patient can live together, that is, the so-called survival with tumor. With the rapid development of modern medicine, many cancers can be controlled by various methods even at the advanced stage, and the cancer can become chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease. Therefore, patients with advanced cancer must establish a firm belief of overcoming cancer and adopt a positive and optimistic attitude to cooperate with medical personnel.
