Does it hurt during radiotherapy? How does radiation work on cancer cells and tumors?

When radiation therapy is done, pain is the fifth vital sign after breathing, pulse, blood pressure and body temperature. It is the most common concomitant disease in patients with malignancy. Its incidence is high, and more than 80% of patients with advanced tumors have moderate to severe pain.

Radiotherapy, as one of the most important means of malignant tumors, can reduce the pain caused by tumors by controlling tumors. Radiation therapy itself can also cause tissue damage, causing a variety of acute and chronic pain. In the traditional impression, the accuracy of radiotherapy is not high, and it is large.

With the rapid development of radiology, the accuracy of radioactivity has been greatly improved, and it can be controlled by effective methods. As the dose of radiation in radiation increases, some of the radiation is produced when it kills cancer cells at the irradiated site. Among them, cancer pain is a very typical pain.

During radiation**, the incidence of cancer pain, represented by neuropathic pain, is as high. About half of people with neuropathic pain do not have complete relief. Pain is classified into 10 levels according to a numerical assessment scale of pain severity, and in this assessment system, cancer pain tends to manifest as moderate and severe pain, and some patients with cancer pain may even have pain levels of up to 10.

Severe pain is not only unbearable, sleep is severely disturbed, and even accompanied by autonomic disorders or passive posture, hence the need for painkillers. Radiation**, like surgery, is local**. It uses radioisotope rays, such as radioionizing radiation such as , etc., to act on tumors.

In Western medicine, radiation** is often used to assist other ** methods, so some people call it "sham treatment". Radiation** has a certain effect on a small number of early-stage cancers with high radiation sensitivity. It can also be used to help reduce primary tumor lesions before surgery and to kill tumor cells that are not completely cleared after surgery.

Radiation** usually has a long cycle, and radiation** kills cancer cells while also performing normal cells, which has high requirements for the patient's own physical fitness. After radiotherapy, there will be a series of complications and toxicity, such as erythema, peeling, erosion, etc.; fatigue, nausea, hair loss, anemia, organ infection, bleeding, etc.; Once the radiation dose of vital tissues and organs such as the lens, optic nerve, brainstem, spinal cord, liver, kidneys, lungs, etc., exceeds their tolerance, it can lead to serious complications and even life-threatening. Especially for patients with advanced tumors, the effect of radiotherapy is not significant, but it can severely damage the patient's body and mind.

I don't feel pain when I have radiotherapy, but I feel discomfort; Radiation** uses ionizing radiation or X-ray radiation, as well as other ionizing particles, to destroy cancer cells and tumor cells.

Yes, you will feel pain. And it's heartbreaking. It is usually irradiated by laser. These cancer cells are allowed to break down and eventually die.

When we do radiotherapy, we will also feel pain, and in the case of radiotherapy, we will also use a machine to exchange blood to reduce our pain.

Radiotherapy is to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, but it may still be **, so it can't be said that it's okay, zolephosphate is to prevent further bone metastasis, and it is best to give chemotherapy. If you have a good doctor, you should also do Chinese medicine**.

Radiotherapy can relieve pain and avoid paralysis caused by tumor invasion of the spinal cord, and the benefits are greater than ***.

Breast cancer radiotherapy is the main way, but radiotherapy will have some ***, and a reasonable diet during radiotherapy can improve the effect and reduce some complications. To reduce the amount of radiotherapy, you can cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine, which can reduce the damage to organs caused by radiotherapy, stabilize the number of white blood cells, and improve the effect of radiotherapy.

life) (element).

Radiotherapy can inhibit the growth of tumor cells, and has the best effect on some tumors, but at the same time, it also has some damage to normal cells.

Hello For bone metastases, radiotherapy is definitely to be the first choice. At the same time, it is recommended to combine systemic chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine**. Bone metastasis is caused by the metastasis of cancer cells, which means that there are cancer cells in the blood, and metastasis to other parts of the body may occur, in this case, it is necessary to consolidate chemotherapy to kill the remaining cancer cells in the body.

At the same time, it is recommended to assist the application of traditional Chinese medicine to further control the disease and improve the patient's own disease resistance.

The hardest thing to endure at that time was that the worry and anxiety about one's own condition could be the hardest part, because it would not only affect the patient's spirit, but also hinder their progress. Therefore, when patients feel anxious, they may wish to try to overcome their fears, maintain the right attitude, embrace a positive attitude towards life, and move forward boldly in the future, so as to meet their better and better selves day by day.

First of all, when people don't know enough about their condition, it's easy to get scared of medical conditions and often worry about developing serious symptoms, especially given today's pandemic of COVID, which is a contagious virus that can have fatal consequences. As a result, many patients often worry about whether their health will recover, whether there is any hope of recovery, and they may also feel isolated and at a loss for what they are doing.

Secondly, some patients may develop anxiety about their condition due to too much suspicion in their minds after suffering from many examinations and**. They may worry about whether their health will be affected by radiotherapy and whether their life will return to normal later in life, and these doubts may cause their emotions to fluctuate extremely and cause them to not get the rest they deserve mentally.

Finally, when a patient has been ill for a period of time, they may also have doubts, such as whether the results of the disease are effective, how likely it is to be re-infected, and what kind of examination work will be done in the future, which are some anxious questions that are difficult to solve.

There are many *** of radiotherapy, whether it is the burn of **, or the impact on the body organs, it is extremely painful for the patient, and this pain is often one of the reasons why the radiotherapy cannot be continued. The main reason for these *** is that radiotherapy is mainly through radiation to the local irradiation, and then the tumor tissue is destroyed or gradually shrinking, which has a good effect on the tumor.

However, in addition to killing tumor cells, radiotherapy can also kill normal cells in the body, resulting in impaired immune system function. Therefore, the patient's immunity will be relatively small, and during the period when the immunity needs to be restored, it can be improved by adjusting the diet and the Chinese medicine ginseng Baiyi, and at the same time, the nausea and vomiting symptoms caused by radiotherapy can be relieved. So as to better and faster restore the normal indicators of the body.

Hello! Is radiation therapy for cancer painful? The answer is yes, the *** at the time of cancer radiotherapy is very large, there may be inflammation, which causes a lot of pain to the patient, and serious radiotherapy complications may make the patient forced to give up**.

It is recommended that the adjuvant use of traditional Chinese medicine can reduce the production of radiotherapy and improve the patient's physique. Good luck soon**.

Do I need radiotherapy only if my cancer is advanced?

First of all, you have to tell you that 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 can be used alone or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, etc., as part of a comprehensive approach to increase the incidence of cancer.

A period of radiotherapy before surgery can be performed to reduce the size of the tumor, so that patients who could not have surgery can have the opportunity to undergo surgery. For advanced cancer, palliative radiotherapy can be used to relieve compression and relieve pain.

For what you said about the pain in the head, the main thing is that the radiation itself has the ability to kill many immune cells, such as white blood cells, in addition to killing cancer cells. When these immune cells are killed, the body's immune system is destroyed. In addition, the human body, out of its own instinct, will cause the body to produce some pain, which will prompt the body to produce conditioned reflexes, so that the body can restore the immune system as soon as possible, even if the bone marrow produces more white blood cells and red blood cells in order to replace the immune cells lost during radiotherapy!

Rest assured, this is a normal reaction in some radiotherapy, mainly at home to pay attention to the diet, light and high energy, avoid spicy food! Also, often use a hot towel on your forehead! If you really can't stand it, go to the hospital for painkiller injections.

No, general radiotherapy is the last resort for cancer**.

1. There are generally 3 types of cancer: lead dismantling surgery (excision), chemotherapy (drugs), and radiotherapy (radioactive elements).

2. Generally, according to the degree of damage to the human body, the order of selection is: surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

3. Therefore, surgery is generally chosen without chemotherapy or radiotherapy. If surgery alone cannot control the disease, then chemotherapy is the option, and if chemotherapy is not available or does not work in a round, then radiotherapy is considered.
