One of the important tools for the treatment of breast cancer is the chemotherapy of breast cancer, which, through the use of anti-cancer drugs, kills or inhibits the growth and spread of cancer cells. Here is a detailed analysis of breast cancer chemotherapy:
Purpose of chemotherapy: For patients with large tumours or with lymphocytes transfer, new assisted chemotherapy can reduce tumours, decrease lymphocytes transfer, make surgery easier to perform and reduce post-operative relapse rates.
Assistive treatment: Post-operative chemotherapy can kill residual cancer cells, prevent the spread of cancer cells and further increase the survival rate of patients. (a) The variety of breast cancer chemotherapy drugs, consisting mainly of the following:
Vishuol-type drugs such as viscillol, Dossitas, etc., have significant anti-tumour activity.
Platinum-type drugs, such as sauperate, carpenter and so on, are often used in conjunction with other chemotherapy drugs to enhance treatment effectiveness.
Other drugs, such as cyclophosphorus, Capitabin and Gisitabin, are also commonly used in chemotherapy for breast cancer. III. The chemotherapy programme
The chemotherapy programme for breast cancer is generally based on the patient ‘ s specific condition and the different stages of the disease, and consists mainly of the following:
Single-drug chemotherapy: treatment of breast cancer with single anti-cancer drugs. This programme applies to patients with milder conditions or poor physical condition. Multi-drug combination chemotherapy: two or more anti-cancer drugs are used to treat breast cancer. Such programmes can kill more cancer cells and reduce drug resistance.
Auxiliary chemotherapy: chemotherapy after surgery to reduce the risk of relapse and transfer.
iv. The side effects of chemotherapy, while killing cancer cells, have a certain impact on normal cells, which triggers a series of side effects. Common side effects of chemotherapy include:
Disgusting and vomiting: This is the most common side effect of chemotherapy, which can usually be mitigated by drugs.
Hair off: chemotherapy can lead to hair loss, but usually recovers after chemotherapy.
Osteo-marrow inhibition: chemotherapy may result in a decrease in the number of white blood cells, red blood cells and slabs, increasing the risk of infection and increasing the probability of anaemia and haemorrhage.
Neurotoxicity: Some chemotherapy drugs may have toxic effects on the nervous system with symptoms such as numbing of hands and feet and stinging.
Cardiotoxicity: For example, cardiac function may be impaired by cylindrical cyclic drugs, so the monitoring of heart function needs to be very close. V. Attention to chemotherapy
Individualized treatment: Depending on the specific situation of the patient, the chemotherapy programme should be adapted to individualized to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and to reduce the side effects.
Close monitoring: During chemotherapy, the physical indicators and mental state of the patient are closely monitored and the treatment plan is adjusted in a timely manner.
Nutritional support: During chemotherapy, patients are required to maintain a nutritional balance and to eat proteins and vitamin-rich food.
Psychological support: chemotherapy can be very stressful and anxious for patients and requires psychological support and counselling.
In general, chemo-breast cancer is an effective treatment, but it also needs to be tailored to the patient ‘ s specific condition and closely monitored in the course of chemotherapy. At the same time, nutritional and psychological support is an integral part of the chemotherapy process.
