What are the precautions for cancer patients during anti-tumor treatment?

After suffering from cancer, chemotherapy is a necessary means to kill cancer cells and prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis. Although chemotherapy has some side effects on the body, it can kill cancer cells and is an indispensable means in cancer treatment. However, patients also have many precautions during chemotherapy, so they must be prepared in advance.

During chemotherapy, patients need to adjust their diet. They can choose sugary and acidic foods, avoid drinking coffee and strong tea and eat bitter vegetables. In the process of chemotherapy, drugs may damage oral mucosal cells, so it is necessary to use a soft toothbrush before and after meals, rinse your mouth with normal saline every day to prevent oral ulcers, quit smoking and drinking, keep your mouth clean, avoid eating rough and blunt food, chew slowly when eating, and ensure food temperature. In the process of chemotherapy, we should also pay attention to the changes of oral cavity, such as the symptoms of gum swelling and pain, and communicate with doctors in time.

During chemotherapy, drugs will reduce the number of white blood cells in the body. In addition, cancer patients have low disease resistance and are prone to infection. Communicate with the doctor when you have a fever. In addition, they should pay attention to cold and warmth, and don't catch a cold.

Chemotherapeutic drugs need intravenous infusion to effectively kill cancer cells, while some chemotherapy drugs need rapid infusion. Patients can't adjust the infusion speed by themselves, so they need to strictly follow the doctor's arrangement. Self-adjustment of infusion speed is easy to affect the effect of chemotherapy drugs, which is not conducive to treatment.

Some chemotherapy drugs can cause kidney damage, so drink water before and during chemotherapy to keep the urine volume at 2000~3000 ml, which is beneficial to reduce the kidney damage caused by drugs. If the urine volume is insufficient, diuretics can be used to increase the urine volume and accelerate the excretion of uric acid and metabolites. Chemotherapy is a special period of the body. When receiving chemotherapy, cancer patients must fully understand chemotherapy, master relevant precautions, and actively cooperate with doctors in the process of chemotherapy to achieve the best therapeutic effect and prolong the survival of patients to a certain extent. Pay more attention to the treatment.
