What are the reactions to radiation therapy in patients with esophageal cancer? Are these reactions

1. Non-specific symptoms: dysfunction and disorders, such as lack of energy, decreased appetite, physical weakness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, fullness after eating, etc. It usually fades away after radiation therapy ends.

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

The treatment is that the patient should inform the doctor of these *** in time during the radiotherapy treatment, and follow his recommendations to eliminate your discomfort. Most of these radiotherapy cells resolve on their own a few weeks after the end of radiotherapy.

3. Mucosal reactions: esophageal cancer is mostly manifested as redness, swelling, erythema, congestion of the oral mucosa, decreased secretions, dry mouth, slight pain, and slightly less eating. Moderate symptoms include obvious congestion and edema in the oropharynx, speckled alba membrane, ulcer formation, obvious pain, and difficulty in eating.

In severe cases, the oral mucosa may be extremely congested, erosive, bleeding, fused into a white membrane, aggravated ulcers, and has purulent secretions, severe pain, inability to eat, and other symptoms, and occasionally fever.

4. Radiotherapy for esophageal cancer will also produce a decrease in the number of white blood cells or platelets, which is caused by local bone marrow suppression caused by radiation irradiation.

The reaction after radiotherapy is caused by a weakened immune system, which is of course abnormal, and the purpose is to relieve the patient's pain rather than deepen it. It's safest to look at Chinese medicine.

Hello, the ***** of Western medicine is relatively large, and it is recommended to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine** to strengthen the anti-cancer, improve the patient's immunity, and reduce the risk of Western medicine**.

I'm also looking for Chinese medicine, pray for blessings!

Contraindication.

1. Esophageal bronchial fistula or tumor has invaded the trachea; Anemia, infection, etc. before radiotherapy; Tumors longer than 9 cm are not easy to be radiotreated; Patients with metastatic tumor causing diaphragm or stomach involvement should not be treated with radiotherapy.

Contraindication. 2. There will be some complications after radiotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer: radiation pneumonitis may occur; Radiation myelitis occurs six months to several years after overdose of the spinal cord, and paraplegia may occur in severe cases; Radiation esophagitis, most of which heal completely within 2 months, but esophageal strictures occur in 50% of patients; Osteitis from radiation occurs in 10% of long-term survivors.

Contraindication. 3. Esophageal cancer patients often become dry after radiotherapy. Most patients with esophageal cancer** respond to radiation therapy and resolve within a few weeks of the end of radiation therapy. Always use warm water and mild soap, and do not rub or scratch sensitive areas.

**and**After a few weeks, do not apply powders, creams, perfumes, deodorants, etc. to the area receiving radiotherapy to reduce the toxicity of radiotherapy***.

Experts suggest that patients with esophageal cancer after radiotherapy should eat high-calorie, high-protein, high-vitamin and easy-to-digest foods, eat small and frequent meals, do not overeat, and maintain a healthy and reasonable lifestyle.

The survival rate of esophageal cancer is still relatively good. The prognosis should be re-examined and pay attention to the daily routine, especially the dietary routine. , patients can take life protection to improve their quality of life.

Whether surgery and chemoradiotherapy are based on the principle of whether the patient's physiological functions are allowed: it can be done if the conditions are met; If you don't meet the conditions, you have to do it, and the harm outweighs the loss. This is why some people do it well, and some people find it worse after doing it (the key is to see whether the individual is eligible), and what kind of chemoradiotherapy regimen to use, as well as the flexible adjustment plan in the process of chemoradiotherapy, these are relatively scientific, and must be decided by clinicians according to the actual situation through comprehensive analysis and research.

For example, old age, weak physique, less eating, poor liver and kidney function, weak immune function, poor heart function, and strong adverse reactions after radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not suitable for radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, it is difficult for others to make judgments without understanding the situation. However, regardless of whether the cancer is operated on or not, radiotherapy or chemotherapy or not, medicine (traditional Chinese medicine) should be taken and traditional Chinese and Western medicine should be combined.

This one is for sure (surgery is possible in the early stage, but surgery in the late stage is not helpful.) )

Usually we always say "integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine", when encountering this kind of serious disease, it is really the time to integrate traditional Chinese and Western medicine, should be comprehensive, not just one method.

Moreover, cancer is a lifelong disease (when the cancer cells have not spread, they can be removed, but even if they are cut cleanly, there are always cancer cells in the body, and with the accumulation of time, the ** rate is high), we must insist on taking medicine, and we must not think that everything will be fine after surgery and chemotherapy (after surgery and chemotherapy, there is still a long way to go, and the main task at this time is to prevent **). It's medical common sense. Many patients think that they have been cured after surgery and the doctor clearly says that "the operation was successful".

This is obviously a lack of medical knowledge, and as a result, it suffers from this loss). You should take the medicine after the operation, and if you don't stop taking the medicine, you can not **, thank God it is already a great achievement. Not to mention not taking medicine.

Chinese medicine can be fully considered. It is treated with traditional Chinese medicine pills for dissolving stasis and dispersing knots, detoxifying and reducing swelling, and for pimples and tumors. If you find the right medicine, the effect will be enhanced.

Due to business relations, the author is well aware of the charm of traditional Chinese medicine, and has witnessed a large number of typical cases of malignant tumors being treated by traditional Chinese medicine, which verifies the uniqueness of traditional Chinese medicine in the motherland. In particular, it has a special effect on diseases in the digestive tract from top to bottom that can be directly in contact with medicine, such as esophageal cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer, rectal cancer, and lymphoma. If you have undergone surgery or chemotherapy, one of the obvious effects of traditional Chinese medicine is that all kinds of uncomfortable symptoms of the patient will be significantly reduced and improved in the short term.

Usually pay attention not to eat spicy, fried, barbecued, these are hot and dry foods.
