Definition and treatment of malignant neoplasms


Definition of malignant neoplasmCancer, also known as malignant tumours, is a disease caused by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. These abnormal cells can invade the surrounding tissue and be transmitted through the blood or lymphocyte system to other parts of the body, creating new tumours (i.e. transfer). Characteristics of malignant tumours include:1. Unrestricted cell proliferation: the ability of cancer cells to divide and breed quickly and without restriction.Invasive: Cancer cells can violate normal surrounding tissues and damage their structure and functioning.Cancer cells can be transmitted through blood or lymphocyte systems to other parts of the body, leading to new tumours.Escaping from extinction: Cancer cells can escape normal mechanisms of cell extinction and survive.5. Promotion of blood vessels: Cancer cells can induce the formation of new blood vessels, provide them with nutrition and oxygen.II. Treatment for malignant neoplasmsMalignant tumours are treated in a variety of ways, usually requiring a comprehensive assessment in relation to the type, stage and overall health status of the patients. The following are common treatments:1. Surgery- Purpose: To remove the tumour and the tissues affected by it from the operation for the purpose of rooting out.- Scope of application: applies to early tumours, especially limited tumours.- General types of surgery include root surgery, palliative surgery and rehabilitation.2. Radiotherapy- Objective: To use high-energy rays to eliminate or limit the spread of cancer cells.- Areas of application: Applied to assistive treatments that are unable to perform surgery or post-operative, as well as to tumours in certain specific areas (e.g. brain tumors, prostate cancer, etc.).- Common treatment methods include external exposure treatment, internal exposure treatment (i.e., close-range treatment) and stereodirectional treatment.3. Chemical treatment- Purpose: To kill or suppress cancer cells with anti-cancer drugs and to give them medication through oral, intravenous, etc.- Applicability: capable of dealing with various types of cancer, especially late or transgenic tumours.- Common drugs: sauercurate, vervaine, fluorourin, etc.Target treatment- Aims: To reduce damage to normal cells through the use of target-oriented drugs to strike cancer cells precisely at specific molecular targets.- Applicability: For tumours with specific genetically modified or protein expression, e.g. non-small cell lung cancer due to egfr modification, breast cancer due to her 2 positives, etc.- Common drugs: Gifidini, Tratto Jute, Imatini, etc.5. Immunization treatment- Purpose: To identify and kill cancer cells by activation or enhancement of the immune system of the body.- Scope of application: It applies to various types of cancer, especially those who are less responsive to traditional treatment.- Drugs commonly used include PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (e.g., Pablo Monovalence, Navulillo Monopoly) and CTLA-4 inhibitors (e.g., IPO Monopoly).Endocrine treatment- Purpose: To contain tumours that rely on hormone growth by regulating hormone levels.- Target population: for patients with hormonal receptors, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer.- Common drugs: He has mosifine, aromatic enzyme inhibitors (e.g. Anatraps), hormonal deprivation.Intervention- Purpose: To have a direct effect on tumours, such as embolism, digestion, etc., by means of microstart.- Applicability: for certain specific regions, cancers such as liver, kidney, etc.- Common technologies: operation of catheter artery pulsation (TACE), RFA, microwave digestion, etc.8. Chinese medicine- Aims: To improve the overall resilience and quality of life of patients, based on modern medical treatment, in conjunction with the regulation of Chinese medicine.- Scope of application: it applies to various types of cancer, in particular assisted treatment and rehabilitation periods.- Common methods: Chinese soup, acupuncture, canning, etc.III. Integrated treatmentThe treatment of malignant tumours often requires a combination of methods to achieve the best treatment. For early breast cancer, for example, tumours may be surgically removed, followed by release and chemotherapy; for late-stage lung cancer, combination-targeting or immunotherapy may be used. The development of a comprehensive treatment programme involving surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and nutritionists requires the cooperation of a multidisciplinary physician.Concluding remarksMalignant tumours are a very complex disease, and treatments need to be individualized and integrated according to the patient ‘ s specific circumstances. Early diagnosis, sound treatment and positive lifestyle adjustments can effectively improve the survival and quality of life of patients. It is hoped that the presentation of this paper will help readers to better understand malignant tumours and their treatment and provide useful references for patients and their families.
