    Depending on the location of radiation injury, radiation damage can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms and affect organ function. Such as fever, itching, pigmentation, ulceration, pain; Pain caused by ulcers of the mucous membranes of the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus can seriously affect drinking and eating; Radiotherapy in the abdomen and pelvis can cause nausea, anorexia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc.; Bone marrow suppression decreases the white blood cell, platelet, and red blood cell counts, making patients prone to infection, bleeding, anemia, etc.; General malaise such as loss of appetite, fatigue, insomnia, etc. may also occur; There will also be long-term genetic changes, growth retardation, tissue fibrosis, and decreased or absent function of some organs. These can affect the patient's tumor** and the patient's quality of life, so radiation damage from radiotherapy needs to be treated promptly.

    The radiation injury of radiotherapy is first of all prevention and postoperative recovery, and some drugs for radiation damage can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

    Radiotherapy. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages for the human body, but in the process of radiotherapy, because there are many ***, many patients are reluctant to accept radiotherapy!

    Does radiation outweigh the harm or do more harm than good to the human body? What do you think?

    There are many people who think that radiotherapy is only an adjunct treatment, and there is no way to fundamentally solve the root cause of cancer.

    So it doesn't matter if you do it or don't do it. So in real life, there are many people who would rather choose smaller Chinese medicine than radiotherapy after they have cancer, but is this really the case? Its realization of today's radiotherapy*** is much smaller, and it is also very small for the human body.

    However, for cancer cells, the damage to cancer cells during radiotherapy is relatively large, so the benefits of radiotherapy for the human body still outweigh the disadvantages.

    It is because of what I just said that many people are reluctant to undergo radiotherapy. But we have to understand a truth, that is, all cancer treatments will be effective, so we need to put our minds at ease, and the current radiotherapy is much smaller than before. And it's just a partial treatment, the rays become invisible knives that cut off the tumors inside our bodies.

    Because there is no incision and there is no organ damage, it does not hasten the patient's death.

    Is there anything *** about conventional radiotherapy? Will radiotherapy kill innocents indiscriminately?

    Relatively speaking, radiotherapy technology has now entered an era of precision missiles, so you can rest assured that this medical technology is this medical technology. During radiation therapy, the oncologist will increase the radiation dose to reduce the number of times, which can shorten the duration of radiation treatment for the patient. The effect will be better than before, and many *** will be reduced accordingly.

    Therefore, relatively speaking, the advantages of radiotherapy for the human body still outweigh the disadvantages! Which one will cancer patients choose?

    Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are essentially the same, and fighting poison with poison will cause some harm to the human body. During radiotherapy, when X-rays penetrate normal human organs, certain toxic side effects are produced. Radiotherapy is the irradiation of the tumor with high-energy rays, which is a local**, and the radiation to the surrounding normal tissues can be controlled within a safe range.

    Devices accurate to the micron level for precision radiotherapy, such as conformal intensity-modulated radiation** and image-guided radiation**, minimize patient positioning errors every time without causing serious harm to the patient. Radiation** although there is a slight ***.

    Loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting are the most common types of radiation. Most are caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by radiotherapy. In severe cases, stomach bleeding may occur.

    In such cases, patients should try to control their diet, eat small, frequent meals, and never drink alcohol. Radiation** can also damage some of the surrounding normal tissues, resulting in sore throat, difficulty swallowing, abnormal nutrient metabolism and other reactions, resulting in varying degrees of malnutrition.

    Radiotherapy is the irradiation of a localized area that can cause damage such as itching, pigmentation, and peeling. Eczema and blisters can also develop at the site of radiation, which can lead to erosions and ulcers in severe cases. If sores develop, consult your doctor for topical medication and pause radiation**.

    If the radiation site is in the oropharynx, most patients will have an acute oral mucosal reaction such as redness, swelling, ulceration, loss of taste, dysphagia, and pain to the touch.

    Radiation therapy can cause absorptive fever due to tumor necrosis, which can lead to decreased immune function and hemogram in patients, and may also cause fever due to a combination of viral infections. If the body temperature is below 38 degrees, you can wipe your body with a damp towel or physically cool down with antipyretic patches. However, if the fever exceeds 38 degrees for three consecutive days, the anti-infection** is ineffective, go to the hospital to find out the cause of the fever.

    The benefits of radiotherapy outweigh the disadvantages, and it is good to kill the cancer virus through radiation. However, the obvious manifestation of radiotherapy is in appearance, such as hair loss, ulceration, and some people feel that it is bigger than illness and illness, so they are reluctant to undergo radiotherapy.

    I think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. This is because many patients are very painful in the process of receiving radiotherapy, and they also feel that such a process is a kind of torture for themselves, so they will give up**.

    The most fundamental factor affecting the effect of tumor radiotherapy is the dose used in radiotherapy, the higher the dose used in radiotherapy, the better the killing of the tumor, and the lower the dose used in radiotherapy, the worse the effect of the tumor**.

    (1) Radioactive sources.

    2) Gender and age: Generally speaking, the older you are, the more difficult it is to withstand radiotherapy because of your weak constitution (3) Pathological type.

    4) Clinical staging: the earlier the disease, the better the curative effect.

    5) Primary lesion size: The larger the primary tumor, the lower the 5-year survival rate (6) Cranial nerve damage and degree of damage.

    7) Degree of cervical lymph node metastasis.

    8) Irradiation dose and method.

    9) Prophylactic radiation to cervical lymph nodes.

    10) Segmented radiation** The factors affecting the efficacy of radiotherapy are related to the pathological type of the first tumor, such as squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma, etc. Small cell carcinoma is relatively sensitive, squamous cell carcinoma is moderately sensitive, and adenocarcinoma is less sensitive. The general type of tumor is related, cauliflower-like tumors are more sensitive, and esophageal cancer constrictive types are less sensitive.

    The degree of differentiation of the tumor is related, and the worse the degree of differentiation, the poorly differentiated and undifferentiated tumors, the more sensitive the well-differentiated tumor. The later the tumor is staged, the larger the volume, so the tumor is less effective than the smaller-sized tumor. Whether there is anemia or not, how many grams of hemoglobin is related, and radiotherapy and even chemotherapy are insensitive for patients with anemia.

    Common types of radiotherapy*** are as follows:

    General reactions: It can manifest as loss of appetite, fatigue and weakness, headache, dizziness, immunocompromise, etc.

    Digestive tract reactions: manifested as nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, stomach discomfort, bloating, diarrhea, etc.

    Myelosuppression: manifested as a decrease in white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, etc., and a decrease in white blood cells is common and lasts for a long time.

    Local reactions: **Injury, erythema, exudation, ulcer, dry mouth, radiation cataract, brain atrophy, pathological fracture, sensorimotor disorders caused by radiation myelitis, severe paraplegia, cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath caused by radiation pneumonitis, radiation gastroenteritis is mainly intractable diarrhea and blood in the stool, as well as radiation damage to the heart, liver, kidneys, etc., although radiation damage to organs is rare, but once it occurs, the consequences are more serious, and even lead to death.

    Hello, friend.

    Radiation therapy is more painful. Killing cancer cells also kills some white blood cells and red blood cells, manifesting as a series of dysfunctions and disorders, such as lack of energy, decreased appetite, and poor immunity. Usually pay attention to the light diet, supplement more nutritious foods such as fish, lean meat, pork ribs, fruits, etc., take some Ji umbrella fungus powder every day to take it, the unique glucose structure can inhibit cancer cells, relieve the discomfort of radiotherapy.

    Radiotherapy refers to radioactivity**, which refers to the irradiation of a specific part of the human body with a particle accelerator through a radioactive source (cobalt-60, uranium-235, etc.). Like Ax knives, gamma knives and so on.

    Adverse reactions are determined by the patient's body.

    Radiotherapy is the abbreviation of radiation, which refers to the application of radiation to kill tumor cells by irradiating them to tumor cells, so as to achieve a means of controlling and destroying tumors, which is a very important means in tumors.

    Radiotherapy is now divided into many kinds, which are generally divided into external radiation radiation therapy and internal radiation radiotherapy, commonly used such as three-dimensional conformal intensity-modulated radiotherapy, as well as conformal intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and electron ray radiotherapy all refer to external beam radiotherapy.

    In addition, there are also extracorpotactic radiotherapy, which is also an extracorporeal radiotherapy method, and internal radiotherapy generally refers to the use of endoluminal radiotherapy for patients with cervical cancer. By placing a radioactive source into the patient's body, one of the goals of tumor control is achieved. There is also ion ion implantation, then it can also be considered as a means of in vivo radiotherapy, which refers to radiotherapy.

    In addition, there are some methods such as intraoperative radiotherapy, which can be combined with surgery to achieve better tumor control. Aggregate radiotherapy is a means of killing tumor cells by the principle of radiation.

    Radiotherapy is one of the three major methods of cancer. It is a method of irradiating tumors with various rays of different energies to inhibit and kill cancer cells. Radiotherapy is radiation**, which refers to the use of radiation to eliminate the lesion.

    As an important means of malignant tumors, radiation can produce good results for many cancers. However, radiation therapy can produce radiation dermatitis, radiation esophagitis, and many other toxic side effects, such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or constipation. In fact, don't be afraid, studies have confirmed that selenium is an excellent adjuvant agent for chemoradiotherapy, and cancer patients taking selenium during chemoradiotherapy can play a multi-faceted role.

    The Jinfuyang Ganoderma lucidum spore powder capsule contains trace element selenium, which can effectively reduce the toxicity caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy and relieve the pain.

    Hello, radiotherapy, as one of the more commonly used methods for ovarian cancer, has a killing effect on tumor cells, and the short-term efficacy is reliable, and it can alleviate symptoms to a certain extent. At the same time, it also has a certain killing effect on normal cells in the human body, often causing bone marrow suppression and digestive tract reactions, etc., which brings greater pain to patients and seriously affects the quality of life of ovarian cancer patients. Therefore, at the same time of radiotherapy, it is necessary to relieve the toxicity of radiotherapy in time.

    Whether it is radiotherapy or chemotherapy, there are adverse reactions in the process, which is what we call ***. According to the different forms, there are also more or fewer ***. Let's talk about radiotherapy first, because radiotherapy is regional, so the response is different according to the range.

    For example, radiotherapy for the head and neck can cause dry mouth, sore throat, neck fibrosis, loss of taste function, and so on. Radiation therapy to the chest may cause radiation lung changes, radiation esophagitis, and more. Chemotherapy is systemic, and chemotherapy drugs travel throughout the body, so the response of chemotherapy patients is roughly the same, such as gastrointestinal reactions, nausea, retching, loss of appetite, diarrhea, etc., as well as diarrhea, abnormal blood images, heart, liver and kidney damage and other secondary injuries.

    It is often these reactions that cause people to become physically poor. Comparatively speaking, the physical harm to the patient is naturally greater. In fact, whether it is radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it is an indispensable part to improve immunity in the first process, it is recommended to improve immunity through ginsengbaiyi, immunity is equivalent to a firewall of our human body, the same cold, people with relatively strong immunity may not have anything to do, but if the immunity is relatively poor, it is worse for the patient.
