Is it depression or lamenting the injustice of life? Or relax and receive systematic treatment?
We understand that once a person knows that he has cancer, he can't accept it psychologically at once, resulting in psychological pain and depression. It is normal to be pessimistic about this painful life experience.
But as medical workers, we hope that patients can get rid of pessimism as soon as possible, because psychological pain and depression will directly affect the prognosis and prognosis of some patients. On the contrary, we should keep an optimistic attitude, calmly face the disease, cooperate with medical staff to accept surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, and improve the treatment effect to the best, which will directly benefit the patients themselves.
When it comes to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, some patients, their families and even some medical staff have some one-sided or even wrong understandings. If someone thinks that I have never felt anything, it is impossible to get cancer; Cancer is an incurable disease, and early detection and early diagnosis will not help; It is a hornet's nest to exaggerate the side effects of surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy and think that surgery can accelerate the spread of cancer. I thought chemotherapy wouldn't tell the enemy from me, it would only strip your hair. After chemotherapy, you can't eat, accelerate your death, and think that radiotherapy has no effect at all. Others believe that it is even more unnecessary to treat cancer for the elderly; Folk prescription is omnipotent, it can conquer the world ... so it is not standardized and systematic in the whole treatment process, thus delaying the illness, missing the best opportunity and affecting the whole treatment effect.
In fact, many cancers can be completely cured by simple surgery or postoperative adjuvant therapy as long as they are found early. Some cancers, such as choriocarcinoma, testicular tumor, malignant lymphoma, neuroblastoma in children, nephroblastoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children, hairy cell leukemia, etc., can be completely cured by simple drug treatment, while some cancers, such as breast cancer, osteosarcoma, colorectal cancer, small cell lung cancer, etc., can be improved by comprehensive treatment.
Even if some cancers can't be cured, we can take many measures to shrink tumors, relieve oppression and pain, thus prolonging the life span of cancer patients and improving their quality of life.
It should be pointed out that so far, there is no simple treatment or drug that can cure all tumors, and it is unlikely in the future. We often hear some folk remedies or secret recipes that claim to cure all diseases. These people are either ignorant or liars.
Therefore, we suggest that when a person is suspected of cancer, he should first overcome himself, overcome his fear of cancer, build up confidence, take the time to go to the oncology department for treatment, and make a clear diagnosis and staging through pathological examination as soon as possible; Secondly, cooperate with doctors to choose the most appropriate treatment. Those who can have surgery must have surgery, and those who need radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery must have radiotherapy and chemotherapy on schedule. Even patients with advanced stage should be treated for the purpose of controlling symptoms and improving quality of life.
Need to remind: specialist treatment is very important, surgery must be done, chemotherapy must be done in the chemotherapy department, and radiotherapy must be done in the radiotherapy department. The reason is simple: there is specialization in the industry.
The oncology department of our hospital undertakes radiotherapy, chemotherapy and biotherapy for malignant tumors. In addition to general radiotherapy and general adjuvant chemotherapy, advanced diagnosis and treatment technologies such as conformal radiotherapy, synchronous radiotherapy, continuous pump chemotherapy, chronochemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, interventional chemotherapy, intrathoracic (abdominal) infusion chemotherapy, deep vein catheterization, deep tissue biopsy, etc. have been carried out, which not only improved the diagnosis level and treatment effect of tumors, but also improved the treatment effect.
All medical staff in oncology department always adhere to the principle of "patient-centered", providing high-quality and professional comprehensive treatment technologies such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy for cancer patients, and serving the health of cancer patients to the end.
When it comes to advanced cancer, you have to mention pain. Pain is the most common and terrible symptom associated with cancer. Newly diagnosed cancer patients 1/4 ~ 1/2, patients under treatment 1/3, and more than 3/4 advanced patients have cancer pain.
More than 75% of cancer patients need opioids to relieve pain. Generally speaking, most patients with cancer pain can achieve ideal analgesic effect through correct analgesic methods. However, in clinical work, there are many factors that affect the analgesic effect, the most important of which is that patients have insufficient understanding of opioid drugs such as morphine, have doubts about the analgesic effect of these drugs, and are too worried about the addiction, drug resistance and toxicity of opioid drugs. Some patients do not take medicine according to time, but wait until the pain is unbearable, which often affects the effect and increases unnecessary pain.
