Is surgery recommended for elderly and frail esophageal cancer patients?

In the absence of metastasis and diffusion, it is better to undergo surgery, after all, there is a possibility of **, and weakness is mainly caused by not being able to eat, if the patient actively cooperates**, and actively does chemotherapy after surgery, there is still **hope, at least it can also improve the quality of life.

In general, the family members should assist the doctor, and the patient should actively cooperate. Don't believe in home remedies, China lacks nothing but nothing**. If possible, after the operation, the patient can be given some traditional Chinese medicine to improve the body's immunity, such as:

The psychology of cancer patients is also very important, it is almost impossible to conceal the condition, family members should not be sad, to build confidence for patients, in addition to life care, to encourage patients to do more exercise and participate in social activities, optimistic and positive attitude towards life is very, very, very important!!

Not recommended at all.

How can I stand the toss of surgery when I am old and weak.

Be conservative**.

You can try. Five Zhi Nights.

It's good, but it's much better than general Chinese medicine.

Hello, if the patient is old and the body is very weak, it is best not to rush to surgery, you can take care of the body and then operate, use traditional Chinese medicine to nourish the body, improve the body's immunity and improve the ability to fight cancer, control the accelerated spread and metastasis of tumor cells, do not need to worry too much about the spread and metastasis of cancer cells during the recuperation period.

For malignant tumors, regardless of whether surgery or chemotherapy is carried out, medicine (traditional Chinese medicine) should be taken and traditional Chinese 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.

Hello, malignant tumors are local manifestations of systemic diseases. **Different approaches to oncology have their indications and limitations. For example, surgery can achieve ** effect on early and localized tumors, but the effect is poor when local**, the tumor is large or there is metastasis.

Radiation** can achieve ** effect on some tumors, but it is a local**. Chemotherapy is a systemic method, but most chemotherapy drugs do not have a strong selective inhibitory effect, and often have a certain amount of ***.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the principles of ** tumor are: clearing heat and detoxifying, invigorating blood and removing stasis, dissolving phlegm and dampness, softening and dispersing knots, replenishing qi and nourishing blood, nourishing yin and cultivating yuan, improving immunity and promoting the early recovery of health of patients.

Not only esophageal cancer, but also all cancers, all elderly people are basically not suitable for surgery.

1. Mainly because of surgery, there must be a wound (surgical incision). Of course, with the development of science and technology, there are many minimally invasive surgeries, which can control the wound of the patient's epidermis to a very small extent. However, there is a certain amount of wounds.

There is more in vivo surgical site injury.

2. When people are old, normal growth is slow, and even some stagnation basically do not grow. The natural recovery from injuries cut by surgery is not as fast as in young people. Coupled with the disease, which affects the speed of recovery even more, and further is cancer, which is the basic characteristic of cancer, and inflammation is more difficult to control than non-cancer diseases.

Therefore, the wound recovery is slow, and the chance of inflammation is ......And so on.

3. Regardless of the effect of the operation itself, it is impossible and difficult to recover after surgery, which is enough to lead to the deterioration of the operation and even the acquisition of a new condition. Therefore, surgery is generally not recommended for the elderly. Unless there is a direct and immediate threat to life, there are special circumstances such as unavoidable.

Esophageal cancer is a tumor type that has made great progress in recent years, and the prognosis is also very good. As long as there is still a chance for surgery, it means that the situation is still better, and there is still a chance, so it is best to seize the time for surgery**, and don't miss the opportunity**.

The esophagus is a hollow viscera, and surgery is relatively simple. The esophagus passes through the thoracic cavity, which is easy to compress and affect the cardiopulmonary function when the lesion occurs, and the threat to the cardiopulmonary function is relieved in time after the operation.

Medical means aside, it is best to have financial means**. Because tumor disease is a dead end, treatment may prolong life, once it is discovered, it will definitely not be far away. If you don't have the financial conditions, you should reconsider, because it is impossible to completely cure this disease, just prolong your life, please worry about yourself.

It depends on the condition, if you want to do surgery, you have to go to a better hospital, as a younger generation to do your filial piety, I know that only one tenth of the surgery can survive (about 100,000 yuan), do your best, consider yourself.

In the early stage of esophageal cancer, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine should be used in a comprehensive way, and in the middle and advanced stages, traditional Chinese medicine should be conservative.

One, surgery**.

Surgery**: Surgery is the preferred method for early-stage esophageal cancer. Patients with esophageal cancer should undergo surgery as soon as they are diagnosed and their physical conditions allow**.

According to the condition, it can be divided into two types: palliative surgery and ** surgery. Palliative surgery is mainly for patients who are unable to ** in advanced stages or after radiotherapy, in order to solve the difficulty of eating, esophagogastric diversion, gastrostomy, esophageal lumen internal catheterization, etc. **Sexual surgery depends on the location of the lesion and the specific situation of the patient.

In principle, most of the esophagus should be removed, and the esophageal resection should be at least 5 cm away from the tumor. The surgical resection rate of lower segment cancer was 90, that of intermediate cancer was 50, and that of upper segment cancer was average.

Contraindications to surgery are clinical x-rays confirming that esophageal lesions are extensive and involve adjacent organs, such as trachea, lungs, mediastinum, aorta, etc. Those with severe cardiopulmonary or hepatic and renal insufficiency or cachexia who cannot tolerate surgery.

Second, radiotherapy. 3. Chemotherapy.

Fourth, traditional Chinese medicine**.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the root of the pathogenesis of esophageal cancer is the weakness of yang qi and the decline of body function. The classification of esophageal cancer varies from fluid to body, and the legislative medication also varies. However, the treatment method is always inseparable from the liver and regulating qi, reducing adversity and removing blood stasis, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, softening and dispersing knots, strengthening and cultivating the body, burying the limbs and moisturizing the dryness, clearing heat and detoxifying, anti-cancer and pain relief, warming yang and invigorating qi, etc.

1. Egg chrysanthemum soup: 1 egg, 5 grams of chrysanthemum, appropriate amount of lotus root juice, and a little vinegar. After mixing the egg liquid with chrysanthemum, lotus root juice and aged vinegar, it is steamed and stewed in water, once a day.

It can stop bleeding and invigorate blood, reduce swelling and relieve pain. It is suitable for patients with aggravated cough and obvious vomiting for esophageal cancer.

2. Ejiao stew: 6 grams of Ejiao, 100 grams of lean pork, appropriate amount of seasoning. Add water to stew pork first, add ejiao to stew after cooking, add seasoning and serve, 1 time a day.

It has the functions of blood nourishment, blood activation, yin nourishment and lung moisturization. It is suitable for patients with esophageal cancer such as prolonged bleeding, weakness, anemia, etc.

3. Concanavala pear: 1 large pear, 50 sword beans, 30 grams of brown sugar. Dig out the pears and fill them with sword beans, then cover them and put them in a bowl with the remaining sword beans.

Steam in the basket for 1 hour, remove the sword beans and make it, you can take it often, eat pears and drink soup. It has the effect of relieving pharyngeal swelling.

4. Melon cake: 250 grams of melon cake, 100 grams of sugar, 800 grams of flour. Simmer the melons over low heat, mix well and press into a filling for later use.

Flour is made into dough, stuffed and then made into dough, cooked or steamed to eat, and often served. It has the effect of clearing heat and suppressing cough. It is suitable for patients with esophageal cancer, coughing and wheezing.

Of course, it is not enough to rely only on diet and attention to the patient's **, and the patient should cooperate with the Chinese medicine in time to treat the symptoms**, so as to help the patient recover well as soon as possible.

When esophageal cancer reaches an advanced stage, it is easy for cancer cells to metastasize, and the efficacy of surgery** is not high. Therefore, comprehensive ** has become the main means of advanced esophageal cancer patients, which has a very important role in prolonging the life of advanced esophageal cancer patients, and can reduce the pain of patients to a certain extent.

The key to advanced esophageal cancer is the method, which is less harmful because advanced esophageal cancer develops rapidly. **How to do it**, the determination of the specific method should be determined by experts after analyzing the condition, it is recommended to try the **way of traditional Chinese medicine, I wish you can be soon**.

The risk of surgery is very high, firstly, because the patient is older and the risk of surgery is increased, and secondly, because the patient is weaker, the patient will be weaker. It is recommended to keep it for a while, and then make a decision on whether to have surgery. The condition cannot be delayed.

Not suitable for surgery The patient is older, and surgery will make the patient more weak, so it is recommended to be conservative**.

It is best to use traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen physical fitness and improve immunity before surgery.
