Treatment: a powerful weapon against cancer
In the long struggle against cancer, therapeutic treatment plays an important role as an important treatment. Today, let’s go into the mystery of the therapy.
Treatment, called radiotherapy, is a partial treatment of tumours using radiation. These can be X-rays, gamma rays and proton beams. The principle is to destroy the DNA of cancer cells through high-energy radiation, preventing them from continuing to grow and split, so as to control tumour growth, mitigate symptoms and even cure cancer.
The process is usually well prepared and planned. First, doctors are given detailed information on the location, size, shape and relationship of the tumor to the normal surrounding tissue through various visual tests, such as CT, MRI, etc. On the basis of these images, the physicist will then develop a personalized treatment programme using advanced computer software. The plan will determine with precision the angle, dose and frequency of radiation exposure to maximize exposure to tumour tissue while minimizing damage to the normal surrounding tissue.
When the treatment is carried out, the patient usually needs to lie on a specific treatment bed, and the equipment will be accurately exposed to the tumor as planned. The whole treatment process is generally pain-free, but there may be minor discomfort, such as red skin, dry skin, etc.
Treatment may be used alone or in conjunction with other treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy. For some early cancers, medical treatment may be the only treatment that can achieve treatments similar to those of surgery. For example, early nasal cancer, cervical cancer, etc., can be treated well through treatment. For some mid-term and later cancers, the treatment is often combined with chemotherapy and surgery to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. For example, in the treatment of cancers such as lung cancer and breast cancer, pre-operative treatment reduces the size of the tumor and increases the success rate of surgical removal; after-operative treatment removes residual cancer cells and reduces the risk of relapse.
There’s a very wide range of treatment certificates. Almost all physical tumours are considered for treatment, including tumours on the neck, tumours on the chest, abdominal tumours, pelvis tumours, etc. In addition, it can be used to alleviate the symptoms of cancer-induced pain, haemorrhaging and obstruction and to improve the quality of life of patients.
However, treatment is not without side effects. Because radiation kills cancer cells while causing some damage to normal tissue around them, there may be some adverse reactions. Common side effects include skin reaction, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, appetite, etc. However, these side effects are usually temporary and can be mitigated through appropriate treatment and care. Doctors and nurses provide patients with detailed information on possible side effects prior to treatment and provide appropriate responses.
As science and technology continue to improve, treatment technology is also developing and improving. Modern treatment techniques have become increasingly precise and efficient. For example, advanced techniques such as three-dimensional retrofitting, retrofitting, and stereodirectional treatment can more accurately expose the tumor tissue and reduce damage to normal tissue. At the same time, new treatment techniques, such as proton treatment, are emerging, with higher precision and fewer side effects, giving new hope to cancer patients.
In short, therapeutic treatment plays an irreplaceable role in comprehensive cancer treatment as an important means of cancer treatment. It has the advantage of extensive adaptive, effective and relatively small side effects. As technology continues to improve, the accuracy and efficacy of the treatment will continue to increase, bringing evangelization to more cancer patients. In the face of cancer, patients and their families should be fully aware of the role and characteristics of treatment, cooperate actively with doctors in their treatment, work together to combat cancer and seek early recovery.
