Do you have any side effects from radiotherapy for lung cancer? What are the side effects?

Radiation therapy for lung cancer can cause acute radiation esophagitis and even esophageal perforation in adjacent esophagus. For patients with chronic underlying lung diseases, radiation lung injury, radiation pneumonitis, and even radiation pulmonary fibrosis may occur. Radiotherapy causes disorders of gastrointestinal function, symptoms of dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, and epigastric discomfort appear.

Myelosuppression can lead to a decrease in white blood cells, thrombocytopenia, and symptoms of weakened immunity, fatigue, and fatigue. In case of radiation, the patient should be treated with medication in a timely manner, and at the same time, the diet should be reasonably matched, nutrition should be strengthened, and compound wall-breaking Ganoderma lucidum spore powder should be taken to improve the body's immunity and reduce toxic side effects.

Radiotherapy will generally cause anorexia, vomiting, hair loss, radioactivity ** will have some impact on the body's immunity, with the assistance of traditional Chinese medicine **, which can not only regulate the patient's physical function, improve immunity, but also repair the postoperative ***, Yuan Xifu uses traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the patient's disordered environment from the inside, control the development of cancer cells and reduce the pain of the patient, come on I wish you a speedy **.

Radiotherapy is localized**.

It's not very big.

It is closely related to the setting of radiotherapy.

It is recommended that you first clarify the pathology, and cooperate with the whole body** with the local**.

What are the *** types of radiotherapy for lung cancer? Is it dangerous?

Radiotherapy has ***, because it will not only kill cancerous cells, but also kill good cells, which may cause lesions, and it is necessary to rest well after radiotherapy to maintain a good mood, which is conducive to recovery.

The biggest thing about radiotherapy is that it will kill the good cells, and then the body will become particularly weak and will not cause lesions.

Most of them are local reactions, blood changes, local mucosal reactions, etc. Pay attention to the protection of the radiation field**, underwear should be soft, wide and hygroscopic; Do not wipe the irradiated field with soap and a coarse towel**.

1. Radiation esophagitis is one of the typical radiotherapy for lung cancer patients, mainly manifested as pain in the pharyngeal or sternum. It often appears one week after radiotherapy, generally the symptoms are mild, severe patients with radiation esophagitis can have severe chest pain, fever, choking, dyspnea, vomiting, hematemesis and other symptoms, when radiation esophagitis occurs, should be alert to the phenomenon of esophageal perforation or esophageal tracheal basket.

2. When the radiation** reaches about 6 weeks, acute radiation pneumonitis usually occurs, that is, the inflammatory reaction that occurs in the normal lung tissues under the action of radiation. In severe cases of radiation pneumonitis, the lungs will show fibrosis, cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, fever and even respiratory failure.

3. Radiation heart damage is due to pathological changes in the myocardium caused by radiation of radioactive substances. When lung cancer patients are exposed to radiation**, the heart will be damaged to an inordinate extent, usually manifested as chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, irregular heart rate, angina, and other symptoms. Damage to the heart from radiotherapy occurs within a week of irradiation, and a delayed response usually occurs 2-3 months later.

4. Radiation myelitis generally appears in the later stages of radiotherapy. Radiation myelitis is usually asymptomatic in the early stage, and it can rapidly progress to paraplegia or quadriplegia in the later stage or acute stage. This manifestation is mainly due to the increase in muscle tone and tendon hyperreflexia in both lower limbs caused by damage to motor neurons.
