Radiotherapy for breast cancer is one of the most important tools for the treatment of breast cancer and is described in detail below:
Definitions and rationale
Radiotherapy for breast cancer, short-term medical treatment, is a local treatment for tumour cells. Radioactivity includes α, beta, gamma ray, etc. from radioisotopes, as well as high-energy X-rays, electron rays, proton beams, etc., capable of destroying the internal structure of tumour cells, inhibiting their growth and reproduction, and thus destroying cancer cells.
II. Adaptive and taboo conditions
Adaptive condition: After root or modified root therapy, the decision is made on the basis of the pathological position, the size of the swelling and the lymphomy of the armpit. After breast surgery, radiotherapy is usually required to reduce the risk of relapse. In the case of breast cancer patients who are partially terminal or unable to be surgically excised, treatment can be used as an effective assistive treatment.
The absolute taboos of breast-puffing include multiple precipitous swellings, permeable microcalcification, lymphoma transfer, etc. Relative taboos include excessive tumours, inappropriate breast size, etc. Treatment methods and processes
Preparation for treatment: Patients are required to carry complete medical history, including pre-operative examinations, surgical conditions, post-operative pathology reports, etc. (c) Conduct a full-body check-up to correct anaemia, control infection, etc. and improve the overall condition of patients.
Treatment:
Total milk exposure: Radiotherapy of the entire breast and surrounding tissue, applicable to breast cancer patients who have been detected early and have not spread to other areas.
Regional lymph nodes: Radiotherapy of potentially lymph nodes such as armpits, upper clavex areas helps to control local lymph nodes transfer.
Precision radiotherapy: Accurate exposure of high-energy rays to tumours through specific devices to reduce damage to normal surrounding tissue. Treatment process:
Patients are lying on the stand dedicated to breast radiotherapy, with their side limbs fixed and their heads heated.
In accordance with the range of exposures and technical requirements, breast-cutting, internal breast-milk areas, upper and lower clavicles, etc.
The partitioning and dose exposures need to be tailored to specific circumstances and are usually done in multiple stages.
Side effects and concerns
Side effects: Dry skin, radioactive dermatitis: Symptoms such as tickling, rinsing, red spots and oedema may occur as a result of damage to skin cells as a result of medical treatment.
Wearyness: Declines in the immune system and physical metabolic abnormalities resulting from the release of treatments lead to a persistent sense of physical fatigue.
Declining appetite: chemotherapy has an irritating effect on digestive mucous membranes and has led to an appetite breakdown.
Osteomenic marrow inhibition: The treatment directly or indirectly harms stem blood cells and their microcosm, leading to a decrease in white cells, anaemia and slabs.
Attention: Patients need to wear loose, soft clothes during treatment and to protect the skin of the radiation. Keep the skin clean and dry, avoid sweating and suntan, and try not to paint anything at will within the radiance. Regular review, timely monitoring of changes in conditions and adjustment of treatment programmes. Maintain good nutrition and consult nutritionists to develop a sound diet.
V. Summary and outlook
Radiotherapy for breast cancer is an effective method of breast cancer treatment that improves symptoms, reduces suffering, prolongs life and, in some cases, cures. As technology progresses, the application of precision radiotherapy is becoming more widespread and will further enhance the effectiveness of treatment and reduce the side effects. Patients receiving radiotherapy should be fully informed of the treatment process and care, and actively cooperate with the doctor ‘ s treatment programme with a view to obtaining the best treatment.
