Almost every rectal cancer patient enters the rehabilitation stage after treatment and faces the threat of recurrence. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization Cancer Rehabilitation Center, even after standardized surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the tumor is completely gone, and the recurrence rate within six months to three years is as high as 565,438+0%. Some tumors, such as small cell lung cancer, brain tumor, soft tissue sarcoma, liver cancer, bladder cancer and ovarian cancer, have a high recurrence rate.
With the development of molecular biomedicine, the answer has been revealed. The main reasons for recurrence of rectal cancer are:
1. Residual cancer cells and tiny lesions. Surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy have eliminated most of the cancer cells in the body, but there are still about 1 10,000 cancer cells in patients with rectal cancer, especially the cancer cells in GO stage, which cannot be solved by surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy at present. What is even more frightening is that some cancer cells have accumulated and settled in patients, forming tiny lesions invisible to the naked eye and imaging, waiting for opportunities. These residual cancer cells and tiny lesions are the chief culprit of rectal cancer recurrence in the future.
Another reason for the recurrence of rectal cancer is that the occurrence and development of rectal cancer are closely related to the disorder of body regulation. Rectal cancer has always maintained a close abnormal reaction relationship with the host (human body), which enhanced and diffused the energy generated by cancer cells. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can not correct and change the regulatory relationship of this disorder to make it return to normal, and the abnormal molecular conduction signals of cancer cells can not be effectively suppressed, so the recurrence of rectal cancer is inevitable.
Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are only the first step for patients with rectal cancer, and they are far from real recovery and radical cure. Professor Gong Pu, a well-known oncologist in China, said: When rectal cancer patients complete surgery and walk out of the hospital with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it is definitely not the end of treatment, but the beginning of continuing treatment. However, this concept of continuous treatment has not attracted enough attention. According to social surveys, most patients, especially those whose tumors have completely disappeared, think this is normal. The doctor said it was cured and no treatment was needed. Regular review has become their only choice. I have no idea that this unscientific concept is likely to make his treatment results go to waste.
Cancer Treatment and Protection Medicine focuses on the treatment and protection of rectal cancer patients in convalescence, and puts forward that the treatment and protection of rectal cancer patients in this period is not dispensable, but more complicated and important. It is required to be more systematic and scientific, and insist on long-term tumor treatment and protection for more than three years. Psychotherapy, diet therapy and drug therapy should be carried out at the same time to protect the existing treatment results and prevent recurrence.
Principles of treatment and protection for rectal cancer in convalescence;
1. Establish the scientific concept of continuing treatment in rehabilitation period and seek individualized treatment plan for yourself.
2. Solve the residual cancer cells and control and eliminate minor lesions.
3. Reconstruct the immune monitoring function of the body and repair the regulatory function of the body.
Special treatment and protection measures for rectal cancer;
1. Use the protective preparations for tumor treatment as soon as possible: oral liquid of high polymer protein and capsule of cordyceps lucidum spores, so that patients can recover as soon as possible.
2. Dr. Gong Pu's music therapy+psychotherapy should maintain a positive and optimistic mood psychologically and believe that he has defeated cancer. Often participate in social activities, especially communicate with cancer friends, and combine "physical training" with "psychological training". Appropriate participation in physical exercise, free participation in Dr. Kung Fu's anti-cancer qigong or Dr. Kung Fu's anti-cancer movement or Dr. Kung Fu's anti-cancer dance.
Dietotherapy is indispensable in the recovery period, especially it is very important to replenish the spleen and stomach through diet. Spleen and stomach are the acquired foundation and the source of qi and blood biochemistry, what's more, they are often injured in tumor treatment. Scientific and reasonable dietary collocation is very important for the recovery of spleen and stomach and the physical fitness of patients.
I sincerely wish my father a speedy recovery!
