Endocrine treatment attention for breast cancer patients
Endocrinological care for breast cancer patients is a common assisted treatment for breast cancer patients, especially for hormonal positive breast cancer patients. Endocrine treatment inhibits the growth of cancer cells mainly by disrupting or reducing the effect of estrogen on cancer cells. However, patients need to pay attention to the following when receiving endocrinological treatment: 1. Persistent endocrinological treatment usually requires long-term medication, which may last for several years. Patients should strictly comply with medical instructions and must not stop or alter the dose at will, as this may reduce the treatment and increase the risk of relapse. 2. Regular follow-up visits and monitoring of the effectiveness of endocrine treatment need to be assessed through regular follow-up visits, usually including blood examinations, video-testing, etc., in order to observe the effectiveness of the treatment and monitor whether there are signs of recurrence. Osteroid density also needs to be monitored on a regular basis, as some endocrine treatment drugs lead to reduced bone density. 3. Attention to side-effect endocrine treatment can give rise to a range of side effects, including menopause symptoms (e.g. heat, sweat theft), emotional fluctuations, weight gain, joint pain, etc. In the event of serious discomfort, the doctor should be informed in a timely manner in order to adjust the treatment programme or to treat the illness accordingly. 4. Endocrine treatments for bone health may lead to osteoporosis and increase the risk of fractures. Patients should increase calcium and vitamin D intake, maintain moderate exercise and conduct regular bone density checks. In addition, medications can be used to prevent osteoporosis under medical supervision. 5. The management of some of the endocrine treatments for the hemorrhage risk, such as his musulphine, may increase the hemorrhage risk. Patients are advised to avoid long sittings, especially when travelling long distances, and to be careful of the exercise limbs. If there is a history of haemobolism or cardiovascular disease, the doctor must be informed before treatment begins. 6. Attention to cardiovascular health endocrine treatment may affect the health of the cardiovascular system, especially for older persons or those at high risk of cardiovascular disease. It is recommended that indicators such as blood pressure, blood resin, etc., be monitored on a regular basis and that a healthy lifestyle be adopted, such as balanced diet, cessation of smoking, adequate exercise, etc. Prevention of drug interaction patients should inform doctors when taking other drugs in order to avoid possible drug interaction. In particular, some herbal or dietary supplements may affect the effects of endocrine treatment. 8. Maintaining long-term mental health care can lead to stress and emotional fluctuations. Patients are advised to seek psychological support, such as participating in patient support groups, communicating with friends or family members and even seeking professional counselling. 9. Nutrition and sport can help to improve overall health and reduce the side effects of treatment by managing healthy diets and moderate sports. More food with antioxidants to avoid high fat and sugar, moderate aerobic exercise and force training also contribute to increased body immunity and bone strength. Endocrine treatment plays an important role in the treatment of breast cancer, but patients need to pay close attention to its side effects and maintain good communication with doctors. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a positive psychological state is important for the smooth running and rehabilitation of endocrine treatment.
