Is radiotherapy good for rectal cancer? Can rectal cancer be treated with radiotherapy?

Hello, radiation has an important place in rectal cancer. At present, it is believed that the survival time of preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery is longer than that of surgery followed by radiotherapy for low- and medium-level rectal cancer with late local stage.

The conventional method for patients with mid-stage rectal cancer is to do chemoradiotherapy, which is painful and painful, many patients can not bear such pain, it is recommended to consider intervention, intervention is a minimally invasive method, which is to make a 2-3 mm puncture hole in the femoral artery of the thigh, insert a special catheter into the blood vessel at the lesion site, perfuse a high concentration of drugs, and carry out local **, while killing cancer cells, inject embolic agents to prevent cancer cells from spreading and metastasizing further, which can effectively control the lesion, and the effect is very good.

Many people know that radiation is one of the three major means of tumors, and many tumors are inseparable from radiotherapy. Well, radiotherapy can be done before surgery.

According to relevant clinical data, radiotherapy before surgery can increase the survival rate by 10%-15% and reduce the local rate by 10%-15%, and preoperative radiotherapy can prevent the spread of cancer cells during surgery, reduce local and pelvic implantation, reduce tumor tumors, expand the indications for surgery, relax cancerous adhesions, and improve the resection rate of surgery.

Radiation therapy may also be done after surgery.

Postoperative radiotherapy for rectal cancer is adjuvant radiotherapy, which is an important supplement to surgery. It should be noted that radiotherapy is extremely toxic, due to the damage to various parts of the patient's body, the immune function is sharply reduced, so there will be red and white blood cell count imbalance, decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting, weight loss, lack of energy, fatigue, anxiety and irritability. It can seriously affect the survival and quality of life of patients.

The answer is yes, radiotherapy for rectal cancer is mainly used as an adjunct to cooperate with the operation before and after surgery to consolidate the effect of surgery. However, radiotherapy also has disadvantages, that is, it will produce a certain amount of energy, so Huxiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Cancer Hospital recommends that after radiotherapy for rectal cancer, you can choose traditional Chinese medicine to reduce toxicity and increase efficiency.

Rectal cancer can be radiotherapy, but it depends on the individual's condition, I used to be chemotherapy first, and then radiotherapy, according to the doctor's words, chemotherapy shrinks the tumor, radiotherapy kills the tumor, and the radiotherapy will not be so big, after the radiotherapy and chemotherapy are completed, I will take a few months of Xinxibao brand selenium Weikang chewable tablets to supplement selenium conditioning, and the body will recover almost, I came here like this, and now it has been 3 years, the condition is stable, and the physical condition is also good.

Chemotherapy is necessary if the body allows to prevent cancer cells from metastasizing. Radiotherapy is done to stop the spread of cancer cells, but radiotherapy is harmful to the body, and we should do our best to save it.

The number of radiation sessions can be reduced.

Regardless of whether the cancer is operated on or not, chemotherapy or not, medicine (Chinese medicine) should be taken and traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine should be combined. This one is certain (it can be operated on in the early stage, but it is not helpful in the late stage).

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.

In addition, cancer is a lifelong disease (cancer cells can be removed when they have not spread, but even if they are cut cleanly, there are always cancer cells in the body, and the ** rate is high with the accumulation of time.) Therefore, cancer is a lifelong disease), we must insist on taking medicine, and we can't 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. As long as you find the right medicine, it is not difficult for you to know.

Due to my work, 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.

The chemical composition of domestic chemotherapy drugs and imported chemotherapy drugs is the same, but the manufacturers are different, the technical level is different, and the domestic chemotherapy drugs are imitations, which should be a little better for imported drugs, but there will be no big difference.

Rectal cancer chemotherapy should be used for 12 times, with at least 6-8 doses. You can calculate the total cost by yourself, and the median overall survival of rectal cancer can be more than 2 years after comprehensive **, which is the best chemotherapy effect among cancers, and it should be positive**.

It is true that you get what you pay for, and the addition of monoclonal antibodies cetuximab or bevacizumab can significantly increase the efficacy, but the economic burden is also heavy.

Chemotherapy Do you use oxaliplatin This is currently the most effective for the rectum Reduce the number of times I don't think I want to fight with death Within the limits of physical conditions Short-term pain in exchange for long-term life.

With the extension of time, the toxicity of chemotherapy to colorectal cancer has gradually increased, which has no obvious effect on prolonging the survival time of colorectal cancer patients. Chemotherapy drugs and duration of chemotherapy should be determined based on tumor remission, symptom remission, and associated toxicity. Radiation ** is only local**, the main *** such as nausea, vomiting, rash, hair loss, decreased immunity, physical weakness, etc. are only used in combination with traditional Chinese medicine, with "triple balance**" to strengthen the foundation, improve immunity, kill blood lymphoma cells, dissipate lumps, and eliminate cancer viruses.

<> of radiation** are: local injury: radiation dermatitis:

In the early stages of radiation, redness and itchiness, similar to sunburn dermatitis changes; In the middle of radiation, **pigmentation, coarse and coarse, enlarged and black pores; During radiation** and chemotherapy, cancer cells are killed, and normal cells are arbitrarily killed, resulting in a decrease in the body's immunity and a series of ***. Venus ginsenoside RH2 (lifesaving) can be taken according to one's own situation, which can not only reduce the damage caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy to patients, but also improve the effect.

Acute toxicity is mainly caused by excessive radiotherapy, which may affect the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary system, and blood system, and the clinical manifestations are fatigue, diarrhea, urgency, increased frequency of bowel movements, nausea, vomiting, erythema or erosion, chemotherapy will produce a huge amount of radiotherapy, bringing a heavy burden to the patient's body, not only radiotherapy and chemotherapy will have many complications, such as nausea and vomiting, physical fatigue, pain in other parts, and more importantly, it will kill the patient's white blood cells and kill cancer cells at the same time.

It is recommended to eat more selenium-containing foods. Selenium-rich foods include seafood, mushrooms, ginkgo, etc. According to statistics, there are more than 1,300 kinds of anti-cancer drugs, foods, animals and plants in the world.

Chinese Ganoderma lucidum is listed as the preferred variety, and Ganoderma lucidum wall-breaking spore powder is the essence of Ganoderma lucidum. You can try the Chinese patent medicine life protection to alleviate chemotherapy***.

During chemotherapy, patients should supplement with a high-protein diet, such as milk, soybeans, lean meat, pig's trotters, sea cucumbers, fish, animal liver, red dates, peanuts, walnuts, black fungus, carrots, red adzuki beans, etc.

Patients with colorectal cancer may need chemotherapy and radiotherapy either before or after surgery. There is a difference between chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and chemotherapy toxicity is mainly systemic toxicity, such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, poor appetite, oral mucosal inflammation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, specific bone marrow toxicity, such as leukocytes, thrombocytopenia, and organ function damage. Radiotherapy is local**, mainly irradiation field reactions, systemic reactions are relatively mild, such as**, irradiation field including the intestine, intestinal mucosal damage, abdominal pain, diarrhea, redness, including pigmentation, ulceration.

During the period of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the doctor adjusts the dose of radiotherapy and chemotherapy according to the toxicity, and will also use relevant drugs for symptomatic support.

Chemotherapy is relatively large, because chemotherapy drugs, while killing tumor cells, also kill normal cells, mainly gastrointestinal reactions, nausea and vomiting, decreased appetite, some patients have diarrhea, some patients are constipated, white blood cells can decrease, fatigue, red blood cells and hemoglobin decrease, anemia, and bone marrow suppression.

It is dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and it can also harm liver function, sometimes on hematopoietic cells, and on our white blood cells will also play a role in lowering.

It can be nauseous, vomiting, and in severe cases, it can also lead to impaired kidney function, and it can also lead to tissue and organ deterioration, hair loss, and blood flow will be reduced.

general reactions; It can manifest as loss of appetite, fatigue, weakness, headache, dizziness, and immunocompromise. Nausea, hair loss, dizziness, vomiting, indigestion, stomach upset.

hematogram reactions; May present with a decrease in the number of white blood cells in the surrounding blood. Myelosuppressive phenomena such as thrombocytopenia.

In the diet, you can eat more foods containing selenium, selenium has the effect of preventing cancer and anti-cancer in medicine, which is very helpful to the patient's body.

Selenium anti-cancer has two aspects, on the one hand, it can prevent normal cells from becoming cancer cells, and on the other hand, it can inhibit the growth of cancer cells or kill cancer.

Foods rich in selenium include: seafood, mushrooms, garlic, ginkgo, etc.

It is recommended to try Tihengjian brand Selenium Weikang Chewable Tablets, which contain selenium-rich malt, vitamin E and carotene, which are highly active and can give full play to the role of selenium in the body; It is very helpful for cancer patients to promote appetite and physical recovery.

For patients with chemotherapy and radiotherapy: TCM anti-cancer series drugs have the effects of killing cancer cells, correcting, anti-cancer, detoxification, tumor reduction and pain relief, and water accumulation, so as to achieve both symptoms and root causes, eliminate the toxicity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, (nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fever and hair loss, leukopenia, etc.) to achieve the effect of reducing toxicity and increasing efficiency. In general, after 10 to 15 days of medication, nausea and vomiting are relieved, appetite increases, and fever decreases.

After a course of medication, the patient's spirit improves, the symptoms are relieved, the hair loss is controlled or there is new hair, the white blood cell count is improved, the body's immune function is improved, and the patient's anti-cancer ability is enhanced. For postoperative cancer patients, the anti-cancer series drugs developed by oncologists in our hospital are used to prevent **, spread and remetastasis.

The systemic reactions of radiotherapy include a series of functional disorders and disorders, such as lack of energy, decreased appetite, physical weakness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and post-food fullness. Local reactions include itching, pigmentation and peeling, pigmentation, eczema, blisters, and in severe cases, erosion and ulceration. Other mucosal reactions include oral mucosal congestion, erosion, hemorrhage, fusion into a buffy membrane, aggravated ulcers, purulent discharge, severe pain, inability to eat, and occasional fever, which require suspension of radiotherapy at this stage.

Cancer patients will be weaker after radiotherapy, the diet should be light, less spicy and oily food, eat more high-protein foods, such as fish, beef, etc., rectal cancer, you should also avoid eating too many grains, because the formation of more stool will cause rectal pain.

Radiotherapy is a common means of rectal cancer, the diet after radiotherapy should pay attention to the choice of semi-liquid high-nutrient food, because the patient's intestine is relatively fragile after radiotherapy, so choose easy-to-digest food, such as pasta, soup, etc., while ensuring that you eat less and more meals, avoid hunger and a full meal, choose high-protein food, radiotherapy is usually combined with chemotherapy, ** after the impact on the patient, resulting in bone marrow suppression, affecting the patient's immunity, so it is necessary to appropriately supplement high-protein food, balanced nutrition, For example, reduce fat intake and increase high-fiber foods.

Hello, radiotherapy can be taken, most patients with advanced rectal cancer have lost the opportunity for surgery, ** mainly to reduce the tumor burden, control the progression of the disease, alleviate the patient's symptoms, and prolong the survival time.

It should be noted that radiotherapy is only local, although some patients have been controlled in a short period of time, but the disease is prone to recurrence in the later stage, so it is necessary to assist Chinese medicine in time, which can improve the efficacy and promote the recovery of the body. Yuan Xifu TCM ** is based on the principle of strengthening the right and dispelling the evil, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, and the medication after radiotherapy can repair the patient's damaged body, alleviate the sequelae and complications of radiotherapy, reduce the patient's pain, enhance the patient's immune function, improve the patient's ability to resist disease, and improve the quality of life.
