Prevention and treatment of adverse effects of breast cancer treatment
The treatment of breast cancer includes various forms of surgery, chemotherapy, decomposition and endocrine treatment, which can have a series of adverse effects on patients. Understanding and responding positively to these negative reactions are essential to improve the quality of life and the accessibility of treatment. • Pain: Post-operative pain is a common problem. In the area of prevention, advanced pain relief techniques can be used in operations. Treatment involves medically prescribed painkillers based on the degree of pain, and pain perception can be alleviated by psychological methods such as listening to music and relaxing training. • Obsolete limb functional impairment: readily available after lymphomy. Preventive measures include gradual rehabilitation of upper limbs at an early stage of the operation, under medical supervision, starting with simple actions such as fists and elbows. Restrictions on upper limb activity can increase the intensity and frequency of rehabilitation training and, if necessary, seek help from rehabilitation physiotherapists. Prevention and treatment of the adverse effects of chemotherapy Eating, during chemotherapy, choice is made to lighten and digestive food, to eat less and to avoid greasy and spicy food. In the event of vomiting, the mouth is kept clean to prevent dehydration and, if necessary, supplementary nutrients and moisture through veins. • Demobilization: The patient can be informed of the possible situation before chemotherapy, so that he/she is psychologically prepared. The use of ice caps reduces the temperature of the scalp and reduces the availability of blood from fur bladders, thus reducing the degree of defunctity. The choice is to wear wigs, hats, etc. to improve the image. Bone marrow inhibition: close monitoring of blood routine during chemotherapy. Prevention enhances nutrition through diet and increases the intake of protein- and vitamin-rich food. In the event of a decrease in white cells, for example, white-cell drugs can be used to protect the individual against infection through personal hygiene. Prevention and treatment of the adverse effects of the treatment Keep the spa area clean and dry, avoiding friction, scratching and wearing soft and loose clothes. Skin protections can be used to avoid irritating cosmetics when skin is red and itchy. • Radiopneumonia: in the course of the treatment, lung intake can be reduced through a precise programme of treatment. Patients receive timely medical treatment for cough, gas shorts, etc., and are treated with drugs such as sugar cortex hormones. Endocrine treatment for the prevention and treatment of adverse effects Symptoms can be severed by communicating with doctors to adjust drugs or to use drugs to alleviate the heat. • Osteoporosis: calcium and vitamin D are replenished during treatment, physical activity is increased as appropriate, bone density checks are carried out on a regular basis and osteoporosis drugs are used when necessary. Through the joint efforts of health-care personnel, patients and family members, efforts are being made to prevent and respond to the adverse effects of breast cancer treatment, which makes patients more resistant to treatment and progress towards rehabilitation.
