There are many patients who are confused and overwhelmed after learning that they have a tumor, so I will summarize it for you in the simplest words here today. The first step: clear diagnosis. Many tumors are discovered through ultrasound, CT, MRI and other imaging examinations, and it is only after a hasty surgery that they find out that they are not tumors at all and do not need to receive this knife. In fact, the gold standard of diagnosis is pathological diagnosis, and the best way to obtain pathological tissue is to perform puncture biopsy. The best way to obtain pathological tissue is by puncture biopsy. The application of puncture biopsy varies from site to site and is generally cost-effective. Moreover, with the development of modern medical technology, there are rarely serious complications causing discomfort to the patient, so it can be said that it is recommended to everyone in exchange for time for effective treatment at a later stage with minimal cost! Step 2: Clear staging. Commonly speaking: staging is to clarify whether the tumor is early, middle or late stage, and the subsequent treatment of different stages of tumor is different. In our country, most of the tumors have clear guidelines for each staging treatment principle, which basically can be matched to the number. However, the so-called tumor staging by doctors is quite complicated, and there are many small differences within the early, middle and late stages. In the process of staging, patients have to undergo blood tests, ultrasound, CT and other complicated and tedious whole body examinations to determine whether the whole body has metastases or not, and in what parts of the body. Step 3: Comprehensive treatment. According to the tumor staging, there is a general principle for the subsequent treatment, but the doctor often needs to decide whether the treatment is open surgery, radiotherapy or other treatment modalities, taking into account the patient’s own situation, economic status and other series of circumstances. Here to remind everyone is only suitable for their own stage of treatment is a good treatment, do not have a disease, and do not take a non-stage of treatment is not desirable. For example, I have personally experienced some patients, who are obviously in advanced stage of tumor, but other hospitals still want to operate to partially remove the tumor, most of the time, it is a waste of money to buy the pain.
