    Breast cancer chemotherapy is an important method in the disease of breast cancer, it is carried out by interfering with the metabolism of anti-tumor, adjuvant chemotherapy can indeed greatly improve the postoperative survival rate of patients, but there are still many problems to be solved in chemotherapy, the most serious of which is chemotherapy drugs"I don't distinguish between friend and foe", that is, while killing cancer cells, it also kills normal cells that multiply quickly in the body.

    The patient experienced hair loss, loss of appetite, mouth ulcers, diarrhea, leukopenia, etc. What makes chemotherapy for breast cancer more effective is that the chemotherapy drug itself is a type of chemotherapy drug"Carcinogens"If used for a long time, a small number of patients may also suffer from leukemia, lymphoma and other secondary tumors after a few years. In recent years, studies have shown that adjuvant chemotherapy for a few weeks after surgery is not much different from chemotherapy for a longer period of time, so doctors now advocate that postoperative chemotherapy for 4 to 6 weeks is appropriate.

    In order to alleviate nausea, vomiting, etc. after chemotherapy, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine.

    The purpose of adjuvant chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery is to eliminate the residual or hidden microscopic lesions after surgery, and to kill the free cancer cells that enter the blood circulation caused by surgery, so as to prolong the survival time, reduce mortality and improve the survival rate. Experiments have proved that micrometastases are more sensitive to chemotherapy, and the smaller the tumor, the more chance it has to be treated by chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is not possible if the tumor burden is 108 cells**. Although surgical techniques continue to improve in breast cancer, some patients still have 5 years after surgery.

    Even if pathology confirms that axillary lymph nodes are negative, the ** rate is still above 10 at 5 years after surgery; The rate of 10 years can reach more than 30. Follow-up findings show that breast cancer** is more common in distant metastases, regardless of whether it is clinically early, advanced or advanced. Although postoperative radiotherapy can reduce the local ** rate, it cannot prevent distant metastases.

    At the same time, there are a considerable number of patients who have not been found to have metastatic lesions at the time of diagnosis, but the cancer has undergone hematogenous metastases, and they are potential in the form of tiny metastases. Therefore, although the primary cancer was removed during surgery, the small cancer lesions that could not metastasize from the hematogenous metastasis were not possible. In order to improve the rate of tumor and reduce the postoperative rate, it is absolutely necessary to use adjuvant chemotherapy to reduce the systemic tumor burden as much as possible on the basis of surgical resection, and to control hematogenous metastasis.

    Early chemotherapy has been shown to be more effective than late chemotherapy. From the study of adjuvant chemotherapy** breast cancer, the following points should be clarified and noted: 1. Adjuvant chemotherapy should use drugs and combination regimens that are effective for breast cancer.

    2. In adjuvant chemotherapy, combined chemotherapy is more effective than single-agent chemotherapy. 3. Adjuvant chemotherapy should reach a certain dose, so that the effect is good. 4. The first period should not be too long.

    5. The earlier adjuvant chemotherapy starts, the better the effect. Once the lesion is obvious, the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy decreases significantly. 6. During adjuvant chemotherapy, blood routine and liver and kidney function should be monitored.

    Breast cancer is a common female malignant tumor, and it is a very important decision for patients to choose the best way. In breast cancer, there are usually two options: excisional surgery or chemotherapy first.

    For people with early-stage breast cancer, doctors usually recommend surgery to remove the tumor first. Surgery can completely remove breast cancer tissue, and lymph nodes can also be examined to determine whether there are metastases. If there are metastases in the lymph nodes, surgery can also remove the metastasized, thus preventing the cancer cells from spreading further.

    After surgery, patients often also need adjunctive therapy such as radiotherapy and endocrinology** to reduce the rate**.

    However, chemotherapy may be a better option for patients with advanced breast cancer. Chemotherapy can be given intravenously, for example, to deliver drugs throughout the body to kill cancer cells in the body. Chemotherapy can shrink the tumor, reduce the difficulty of surgery, and at the same time, it can also eliminate the small metastatic lesions in the body and reduce the ** rate.

    In general, for breast cancer patients, resectional surgery and chemotherapy are very important means. The choice of which orange to choose depends mainly on the specific situation of the patient, such as the stage of breast cancer, the condition, age, physical condition, etc. Therefore, patients need to fully communicate and discuss with their doctors to jointly develop the most suitable plan for themselves.

Generally, after surgery, doctors will recommend 4-6 courses of chemotherapy, combined with traditional Chinese medicine for comprehensive conditioning, and a comprehensive ** regimen based on **.

    And chemotherapy depends on the patient's physical condition, do not over-chemotherapy, the mechanism of chemotherapy and drugs is different, but the ultimate goal is the same, that is, to kill the remaining cancer cells in the body to achieve the clinical purpose.

    Therefore, drugs cannot replace chemotherapy, and at the same time, chemotherapy cannot be done for a long time, and it is inevitable to take drugs for long-term control.

    Breast cancer can use some classic old drugs, such as Xihuang pills, which can make the body produce a large number of T cells, and T cells can engulf cancer cells and inhibit the spread of cancer cells.

    It can only be said that it is best to treat chemotherapy to avoid a small number of cancer cells spreading through the bloodstream, of course, it is not absolute, it depends on the type and stage of breast cancer.

    I think as a doctor, they will decide whether to undergo chemotherapy according to the patient's condition, so, listen to the doctor, in life and chemotherapy compared to the ***, I think it is better to stick to chemotherapy. Of course, the prognosis of cancer is determined by many reasons, including the patient's personality, will, etc.

    Only when the hormone receptor is strongly positive, the human epidermal growth factor receptor is negative, the expression of KI 67 is low, there is no cancer thrombus, there is no vascular cancer thrombus, nerve metastasis, and the histological grade is grade 1 to 2, this early breast cancer can be exempted from chemotherapy in the case of low risk in the case of genetic testing.

    That is to say, in the vast majority of early-stage breast cancers, at present, as long as it is invasive early-stage breast cancer, chemotherapy is still required, and only a few early-stage breast cancers can be avoided by 21-gene testing, so for early-stage breast cancer, especially luminal-type early-stage breasts, 21-gene testing can be used to determine whether chemotherapy is needed.
