Surgery is an option for many bone cancer patients. Many bone cancer patients can have certain inhibitory effect on their disease through surgery, and most of them can get more satisfactory results.
Why does bone cancer recur after surgery?
Bone cancer patients usually do not listen to the doctor’s advice and follow up and review regularly after surgery, and regret only when bone cancer recurs again. Generally speaking, the body immunity of bone cancer patients decreases, so it leads to the recurrence of bone cancer patients. Many bone cancer patients already have decreased body immunity before surgery, and coupled with the blow to body resistance from surgical trauma and anesthesia, it leads to even lower immunity. If they do not pay attention to strengthen nutrition and restore immunity in time after surgery, it provides opportunities for tumor recurrence or metastasis.
At the same time, mentality is also a very important factor to determine the recurrence of bone cancer patients. Some people who are often angry, depressed and irritable have bone cancer, which can easily lead to the poor operation of internal qi and blood, resulting in more and more serious disease.
How to prevent recurrence of bone cancer after surgery.
1.After the completion of surgery, patients should pay close attention to the recovery situation, and if there is any sign of recurrence, they should immediately go to the hospital to ask the physician for consultation and take active measures for treatment.
2.After surgery, patients must prohibit smoking to avoid recurrence of bone cancer. For those with lung function decompensation, patients should be instructed to gradually increase the amount of exercise.
3.Bone cancer or undifferentiated cancer can easily metastasize to other places, such as metastasis to lymph gland, bone, liver, brain and contralateral lung, so there should be more attention to such problems.
4.Headache, liver pain, shortness of breath, bone pain, hepatomegaly, phlegm and blood, swelling of supraclavicular lymph gland, change of vision, severe cough, it is necessary to often pay attention to whether the patient has fever and chest pain, etc. If the above symptoms are found, the patient should go to the hospital for consultation in time. Meanwhile, patients should go to hospital regularly for chest X-ray examination and keep fresh sputum to check cancer cells.
The diet of postoperative patients with bone cancer should follow the following 4 principles.
1.High protein and low fat, postoperative patients with bone cancer should pay attention to increase the intake of high quality protein such as chicken, fish, eggs, lean meat and soy products in their diet, and fatty meat and other greasy food can be taken in moderation.
2. Strictly limit the intake of sugar. The diet of bone cancer patients should minimize the intake of sugar. Because the energy of cancer cells mainly comes from sugar, the ability of cancer cells to take in sugar is 10 to 20 times that of normal cells.
The diet of postoperative patients with bone cancer should be based on patients’ preference, and there is no need to over-consider whether it is reasonable or not.
Therefore, attention should be paid to increasing food patterns to ensure that they are colorful, fragrant, light and delicious, which can help improve appetite and increase nutrition. Therefore, we should pay attention to increase the food pattern, ensure the color and flavor, light and delicious, which can help improve appetite and increase nutrition.
Patients with bone cancer anemia should “avoid” the following
1. Avoid drinking tea, the tannic acid in tea is easy to combine with low-valent iron to form insoluble iron tannate, which hinders the absorption of iron, and the lack of iron will reduce the synthesis of hemoglobin in the body and aggravate the symptoms of anemia.
2, avoid eating garlic, garlic contains more volatile substances, too much consumption will inhibit gastric juice secretion, so that hemoglobin, red blood cell reduction, aggravating anemia.
3, avoid drinking milk, milk contains less iron, but rich in calcium and phosphorus, the iron in the body is easy to combine with calcium and phosphorus in milk to generate insoluble iron-containing compounds, reducing the iron content in the body and aggravating the symptoms of anemia.
4. Strictly restrict fat. Excessive fat intake can inhibit the hematopoietic function of human body and also affect the digestion and absorption function of patients. Therefore, the daily fat intake of patients with bone cancer anemia should not exceed 70 grams, generally about 50 grams is appropriate.
5.Less alkali-containing foods, such as steamed buns and buckwheat noodles, are not conducive to iron absorption, and also affect the freeing and transformation of iron in food.
6, eat less indigestible food, anemia patients often exist at the same time digestive disorders, should eat less peanuts, walnuts, almonds, leeks, garlic, onions and other indigestible food.
In fact, no matter what kind of diseases we have, we should pay attention to dietary details, as the saying goes, “disease enters from the mouth”, which we should understand.
As mentioned above, postoperative care for bone cancer patients is very important, not only to maintain a good mood, but also to pay attention to diet, exercise and living habits, and to strengthen nutrition, but also to go to hospital for regular review to prevent recurrence and metastasis and to avoid deterioration of the disease.
