Can anyone tell me about the toxic side effects of radiotherapy for lung cancer?

Poorly differentiated lung cancer is more sensitive to radiotherapy. Radiotherapy for lung cancer*** mainly has radiation esophagitis, which is mainly manifested by pain in eating and pain in the back of the sternum; Lung injury is mainly radiation pneumonia, which occurs about 6 weeks after radiation, with cough, shortness of breath, fever, chest tightness, accompanied by lung infection, and radiotherapy can also cause heart damage, pay attention to electrocardiogram; Radiation myelitis can also be caused by radiation therapy, which usually occurs later in the course of radiation therapy. Radiotherapy does not have as much effect on hematopoiesis as as chemotherapy, but concurrent chemoradiotherapy can worsen myelosuppression.

The above complications can be prevented and treated symptomatically, so there is no need to worry too much.

The radiotherapy is lower than that of chemotherapy, because the radiotherapy physician will make precise positioning before radiotherapy, so it directly acts on the target site during radiotherapy, kills the tumor, and has little impact on other organs in the body, but the body cells in the penetrated part will inevitably be damaged, and the local inflammation at the radiotherapy site will be indispensable. Moreover, the biggest impact of radiotherapy is on the hematopoietic organs, but which of the more serious consequences is due to the fact that the radiation dose is not calculated. So the consequences are much better than chemotherapy.

It's time to go, Hades doesn't invite himself to go.

There is no appetite for eating, there is no taste for anything to eat, and I will regurgitate and don't want to eat Everyone has different physical qualities, and the reaction after radiotherapy is also different Generally, radiotherapy is supported if surgery is not done now, followed by chemotherapy.

I am liver cancer, there are eight years, radiotherapy *** upstairs said a lot, I suggest that the current focus on recuperating the body, only good health can live longer, need to be taught, from the food we usually eat can be improved, but we do not pay attention to nutrition when eating, eat food is not equal. Eating right is the key to eating well.

1. Systemic reactions: such as fatigue, decreased appetite, decreased white blood cells, decreased platelets, anemia, etc., but systemic reactions are generally not as serious as chemotherapy.

These reactions may occur during radiotherapy or after a period of time after the end of radiotherapy, but do not worry too much, you can communicate with the doctor in time after discomfort, and the doctor will give timely symptomatic treatment according to the symptoms, and the vast majority of patients can successfully complete radiotherapy.

The most obvious is the loss of appetite, decreased immunity, low white blood cells, some inflammation, ulceration and so on.

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.

Radiation pneumonitisAcute radiation pneumonitis mostly occurs at doses above 40 gy, which is an inflammatory reaction caused by damage to normal lung tissue in the radiation field. In severe cases, due to extensive fibrosis in the lungs, cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, fever and even respiratory failure may occur.

Dryness manifests as itching, pigmentation and peeling, which can produce permanent light brown spots. Wet** manifests as eczema and blisters at the irradiated site, and in severe cases, it can cause erosion and ulceration.

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are both common methods of tumor diseases, the pain caused by chemotherapy is greater than that of the two methods, radiotherapy is a local method, and chemotherapy is a systemic method, so the pain caused by radiotherapy will be greater in terms of local reactions, and the pain caused by chemotherapy will be greater in terms of systemic reactions. Chemotherapy is a type of damage that is caused to the whole body.

Radiotherapy is mainly based on local adverse reactions, such as head and neck radiotherapy, sore throat, dry mouth, decreased taste function, and neck stiffness and other adverse reactions. Chemotherapy is mainly based on systemic reactions, generally bone marrow suppression, and gastrointestinal reactions, such as decreased blood count, vomiting, phlebitis, etc., as long as it is properly treated, serious adverse reactions of liver function damage or cardiac function damage are uncommon.

Lung cancer is the most common primary malignant tumor of the lung, and the vast majority of lung cancers originate from the bronchial mucosal epithelium, so it is also called bronchial lung cancer. Most chemotherapy drugs for lung cancer have varying degrees of bone marrow suppression. In the early stage of bone marrow suppression, it can be manifested as leukopenia, especially granulocytes, platelets, red blood cells, and hemoglobin can be reduced in severe cases, and patients can also have fatigue, weakness, decreased resistance, susceptibility to infection, fever, bleeding and other reactions after chemotherapy for lung cancer.

The effect of ginsenoside RG 3 on lung cancer is mainly reflected in the cooperation with traditional Western medicine**, so that the best effect can be achieved.
