Can oral cancer be treated with radiotherapy and what do I need to prepare?

Oral cancer** is mainly used by surgery ** and local radiotherapy, and oral cancer is not sensitive to chemotherapy. Oral cancer needs to look at the stage, in the case of very early stage, it can be simple surgery or simple radiotherapy, the effect is better, there is a possibility of **, if it is not in the early stage, surgery combined with radiotherapy is generally required to control the tumor and prolong life.

Oral cancer refers to malignant tumors that occur in the oral cavity, 80% of which are squamous cell carcinomas, including tongue cancer, buccal cancer, gum cancer, palatal cancer, lip cancer, maxillary and maxillary cancer, floor of the mouth cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, salivary gland cancer, maxillary sinus cancer, and cancers that occur on the face**. The incidence of oral cancer accounts for about 5% of the incidence of malignant tumors in the whole body, and the incidence of oral cancer in China is 5 6 people and 100,000 people. Oral cancer has the characteristics of rapid progression, wide invasion and poor prognosis.

The pencil beam scanning proton ** technology used in Taiwan is like drawing with a thin needle bit by bit, which is more accurate, reduces unnecessary radiation dose, and then reduces damage to normal tissues. However, whether it is suitable for use needs to be evaluated by the hospital in Taiwan according to the relevant reports. Now there are also many institutions that can sort out the report in advance, and then do the preliminary assessment of the number of times and budget, such as Hong Kong Adventist Health, and you can also make an expedited appointment and apply for a medical visa later, which is very convenient, I hope these contents can help you.

Radiotherapy is only done locally, Yuan Xifu of the top ten famous doctors in the contemporary world believes that cancer is not a local lesion, but a systemic disease in the local appearance, to comprehensively regulate the patient's internal disorder environment, come on, actively face, I wish you a speedy **.

Radiotherapy is useful for the early and middle stages, cancer as a hyperproliferative disease, chemotherapy is useful, but not for everyone, in the 40s of the 20th century, since the discovery of cellular immunosuppressants, more and more cell chemotherapy drugs have been discovered and used in clinical practice, cancer**, belongs to the individualized way, according to the type of cancer, the stage and the specific state of the patient. Determine whether chemotherapy is appropriate**. Decision on whether chemotherapy is effective, such as small cell lung cancer with a high degree of malignancy, patients may improve their symptoms quickly after early chemotherapy, but chemotherapy is not effective in advanced patients.

The curative effect is definitely there, but the degree is not the same, it is also necessary to emphasize that oral cancer is a disease, and early radiotherapy for cancer can occur in tissues such as the gum snake soft palate in the oral cavity, which has a certain effect. Patients with locally advanced disease can be given the chance of oral cancer by radiotherapy and chemotherapy If the oral cancer has metastasized, the symptoms can be controlled by radiotherapy, and the scope of surgery should be reduced as much as possible so as not to affect the function of the patient's oral cavity.

Radiotherapy has a certain effect on oral cancer, but it should be emphasized that oral cancer is a group of diseases, including the gums, tongue, soft palate and other tissues in the oral cavity, cancer can occur. Early radiotherapy has a certain effect, and patients with locally advanced disease, or those who are inoperable, require a combination of radiotherapy and chemoradiotherapy**, but surgery is recommended for patients in the early stage**; Patients with locally advanced disease can be given the opportunity to be treated with chemoradiotherapy; If oral cancer metastasizes, symptoms can be controlled with radiation therapy.

The answer to this question about post-radiotherapy care for oral cancer is as follows: There is no doubt that anyone who has been found or suspected of oral cancer should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the diagnosis cannot be made, you should go to a higher-level hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time, and large hospitals have oral oncology specialists.

At present, the five-year survival rate of early-stage oral cancer has exceeded 60%. Oral cancer is easy to do after surgery, in order to prevent it, Western medicine generally needs radiotherapy and chemotherapy, because radiotherapy and chemotherapy have no ability to discriminate, so it is necessary to repeat radiotherapy such as trembling reed therapy, after multiple radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the patient's immune function is reduced, the resistance is reduced, and it is easy to metastasize.

After suffering from oral cancer, especially during radiotherapy, some foods with medicinal effects should be supplemented, such as red dates, yams, wolfberries, spinach and other foods that nourish blood and qi, so as to improve the bone marrow suppression caused by radiotherapy; White lentils, fresh lotus root, barley, tangerine peel and other foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach can improve the loss of appetite caused by radiotherapy; Foods with anti-cancer properties, such as carrots, tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, apples, strawberries, figs, etc., are adjuvant to radiotherapy to enhance the overall efficacy.

Oral cancer is one of the 10 most common cancers in the world and mainly occurs in people over the age of 40. If oral cancer can be detected early, the rate is very high. Unfortunately, most oral cancers are found to be in the middle and advanced stages, with a poor prognosis.

Radiotherapy is one of the most common methods in oral cancer patients, which has a positive effect on improving the survival rate of patients, but it also has varying degrees of damage to normal human tissues while killing cancer cells. Because a reasonable diet can enhance the patient's physique, improve his tolerance and efficacy of radiotherapy, and also help to improve his toxicity, special attention must be paid to the dietary arrangement during radiotherapy.

Oral cancer is a wasting disease, coupled with the impact of pain, injury, and negative emotions on diet and sleep, resulting in malnutrition, emaciation, anemia, fatigue and other cachexia tendencies in oral cancer patients, which not only reduces the quality of life of patients, but also helps the rapid deterioration of the disease, as well as the tolerance and effect of radiotherapy. Therefore, it is better to eat some nutritious foods during radiotherapy for oral cancer, especially high-protein, high-vitamin, light, and easy-to-digest foods, such as eggs, milk, legumes, lean meats, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. In order to increase the patient's appetite, the food should also be arranged according to the patient's preference, pay attention to the color, aroma and taste of the food, and avoid some fatty, fried and fishy food.

Under normal circumstances, before chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the doctor will tell the patient about the precautions and diet, if you are not sure, you can ask the doctor again, after all, the doctor is professional.

Post-oral cancer radiotherapy care mainly includes: 1. Oral local care: after radiotherapy for oral cancer, acute phase reactions and chronic phase reactions can be seen, the acute phase reactions are relatively fast to recover, but the chronic phase reactions last for a long time, and even accompany life, it is recommended that patients can take Chinese medicine appropriately to relieve symptoms such as dry mouth; 2. Psychological nursing:

After radiotherapy for oral cancer, the tumor has been controlled to a certain extent, but the patient's psychological trauma is greater, and psychological counseling is required, and even some patients are overly nervous, which affects the best effect.

The situation is more serious, I don't know if there is a metastasis in the brain position, it is best to determine, if there is no surgery, the position is too sensitive, during radiotherapy, I feel that it should be combined with traditional Chinese medicine**, Yuan Xifu Chinese medicine ** is relatively safe, it can also be used in the current condition of the patient, and there is no damage to the body, it can also alleviate some uncomfortable symptoms of radiotherapy, speed up the recovery of the patient, and can work together to increase the effect of increasing efficiency and reducing toxicity. During radiotherapy, you can eat foods with medicinal effects, such as red dates, yams, wolfberries, spinach and other foods that nourish blood and qi.
