When the general public see the media or hear people talk about such and such messy methods of cancer treatment, they will be confused and have no idea how to choose. There are even a lot of “frauds” who will make you lose your money. Let’s briefly popularize the knowledge in this area, so that when you encounter problems, you will know how to make decisions. I. The difference between treatment methods and treatment plans The effect of any cancer treatment is often limited by a single method, and it requires the combination of multiple methods to achieve a more desirable effect. Doctors will combine different methods to form a specific treatment plan (combination plan) according to the patient’s specific situation. From the history of medical development, there are two major categories of treatment methods/programs for each disease: 1) standard treatment (ST) methods/programs; 2) clinical trial (CT) methods/programs. Among the many methods/protocols, some of them have been proven to be effective in a large number of studies and are recognized as standard treatment (ST); however, there are also methods/protocols that are theoretically predicted to be effective or more effective than the standard methods/protocols based on preliminary studies or experiments, which are called Clinical trial (CT). Do not think that a doctor is experimenting with you when you hear that it is a clinical trial, because a clinical trial is a large-scale clinical study that is approved only after rigorous expert validation and preliminary small-scale studies that are not inferior to the standard treatment in terms of effectiveness, and when the standard treatment study confirms the original predicted results and is widely accepted. When the standard treatment research confirms the original predicted results and is widely accepted, it becomes the standard treatment, thus promoting the progress of medicine step by step. Third, how can clinical trial (CT) methods/protocols be legally used for patient treatment? Since it is a clinical trial, there may be unpredictable complications or even no effect at all as originally predicted, and many clinical trials have been rejected after large-scale studies and found to be not as originally expected. Therefore, this has risks, according to international ethical principles and domestic laws and regulations, before applying these treatments, the following principles must be followed: 1, there is an ethics committee review for the record (some need approval from the relevant agencies); 2, the doctor should clearly inform the patient is a clinical trial and its potential risks, obtain the patient’s informed consent, and allow the patient to have the right to withdraw voluntarily; 3, there should be a sound mechanisms for risk control and treatment; 4. Some or even all of the additional costs are free of charge. In general, patients are encouraged internationally to participate in clinical trials of treatment, and in practice, there are indeed patients who can benefit from them. If these conditions are not available, it is non-compliance, for example, once a professor in a major hospital to carry out the neuro-reflex surgery, not in accordance with the principles set out to do, and later made a lot of commotion. Fourth, how to know which is the standard method / program The general public is really difficult to know which is the standard treatment method / program, see the advertising or the media on some of the “foolishness”, it is thought to be a “miracle doctor, miracle medicine, miracle art”. In fact, it is not difficult to identify, the standard treatment method/protocol is not as “miraculous” as it is boasted, the effectiveness, indications, contraindications, risks, etc. are clearly stated. Most diseases now have guidelines, which are open to the public, and if you consult these guidelines, the methods described above are basically consensus after rigorous research and are standard treatment methods/protocols. Then again, ask a few more doctors , all mentioned methods / programs generally belong to the standard of care. The identification of “standard treatment” and “legitimate clinical trials” are allowed and belong to the doctor’s remit, and the doctor’s choice of these methods/programs to treat the patient belongs to the legitimate practice of medicine. Otherwise, it’s either “fooling”, “cheating”, or “illegal”. Now some regular medical institutions, with the sheepskin, the original clinical trial category of methods to use to make a “fortune” (the extra cost of regular clinical trial methods is free), such as a certain cell treatment of a certain disease, etc., charge your wallet without discussion. The state cracked down on a number of batches, but also really can not control so many. Only shine your own eyes. The media is full of a lot of foolishness and deception, moving you to the thin air, but actually looking at your wallet. Remember the following 10 points, you can probably prevent most of the traps: 1, the package of treatment; 2, the secret recipe; 3, dozens of drugs refined; 4, from the immortal mountain; 5, blowing is “on Mars” high-tech; 6, how they are great, and even denigrate peers; 7, how much a time, like a stall trader 8, blowing seems to come from “Mars” of the “big name” bricklayer; 9, looking for a bunch of grandparents as a trust, to make you believe in the whole; 10, a star face in which blowing the gods.
