Cancer, the first treatment is critical!

Nowadays, cancer has become a common and frequent disease, which seriously harms human health. However, with the further development of medical research and the emergence of new treatment methods, drugs and treatment concepts, “incurable diseases” are gradually becoming chronic diseases that can be controlled under the guidance of standardized treatment principles. However, the premise is that cancer treatment must be standardized and thorough, and it is irresponsible to treat cancer without standardization. Therefore, treatment of cancer must be seen and treated in professional departments of regular hospitals, otherwise, it will only further aggravate the disease. In cancer treatment, high cost is something that almost every cancer patient complains about. According to Director Sun Xiangdong of Department of Oncology Radiotherapy of PLA Bayi Hospital, besides the high cost of treatment drugs, the phenomenon of taking unjust roads and spending unjust money in the treatment process is also worthy of attention. Such as listening to and believing in the advertisements to find another way, over-treatment, etc. are the reasons for the increase of cancer treatment cost. Besides wasting financial resources, the best time for treatment is often delayed and the disease is eventually lost. In addition, cancer that could have been cured, but wasted halfway or incompletely treated, resulted in short-term recurrence and metastasis, which invariably increased the treatment cost, which is a typical “under-treatment”. Therefore, thorough treatment is the guarantee of cancer recovery, and the efficacy of cancer depends on early detection and early treatment. Don’t lose confidence and go to hospital as soon as possible once you get sick. Improper first treatment of cancer can lead to many hidden dangers The first treatment of cancer does not only refer to the first surgery, or the first radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The first treatment of cancer refers to the overall treatment strategy after cancer diagnosis, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other individualized and comprehensive treatments. Most of the first cancer treatment requires the cooperation of multiple specialties and a continuous treatment cycle of about six months. In the first treatment of cancer, indecisive choice of anti-cancer treatment methods, or the lack of overall plan for comprehensive anti-cancer treatment, or improper implementation of individual comprehensive treatment will directly affect the occurrence of cancer lesions. Then, how to arrange the first treatment plan of cancer reasonably? 1. Patients with symptoms or called early signs of tumor should see oncologist to do relevant examinations to explain the related symptoms and exclude the possibility of malignant tumor. If the symptoms do not improve after treatment or recur after a period of symptom relief after excluding tumor, another examination should be done. 2.For healthy people over 40 years old, they should have systematic physical examination once every 2-3 years. If precancerous lesions or precancerous diseases are found during the examination, they should be treated actively. Patients with precancerous state should have corresponding examination every year. 3.Once a tumor is clearly diagnosed, don’t panic and buy drugs indiscriminately, don’t believe in false advertisements and propaganda, but must calm down emotionally, besides looking for tumor specialists, tumor radiologists and surgeons to fully understand the degree of the disease and consult the treatment plan, and even run several tumor hospitals to listen to the insights of doctors and understand whether they have experience in treating the disease and whether the treatment plan is formulated. Traditional tumor treatment has great side effects and pain, which causes great pressure and damage to patients and their families. Moreover, monotherapy or overtreatment may occur. After understanding the insights of other doctors, you need to listen to the advice of radiation oncologists. Current tumor radiotherapy technology has entered the era of precision, and local radiotherapy has targeted, better effect and faster recovery. In addition to lung cancer, cancers such as prostate cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, early upper segment esophageal cancer, etc. can achieve better treatment effect if they can have a comprehensive understanding at the first consultation and actively receive radiotherapy. Of course, the personalized treatment plan that fits the patient’s condition is also very crucial. The Department of Oncology Radiotherapy of PLA Bayi Hospital has the most advanced TOMO radiotherapy equipment in China, and many experienced oncologists will design the most scientific and suitable treatment plan according to the patient’s condition, pathological type, stage and development tendency of tumor.
