Esophageal cancer radiotherapy cost and cycle

Many esophageal cancer patients are usually concerned about the cost of treatment before treatment. The cost of esophageal cancer treatment varies according to the patient's condition. The cost of esophageal cancer surgery and radiotherapy should be different in each hospital and each plan. Therefore, patients should first determine the treatment plan and radiation dose for individualized treatment when undergoing radiotherapy for esophageal cancer.

1. Cost of radiotherapy for esophageal cancer

Based on the patient's physical condition, the tumor's pathological type, the scope of invasion and development trend, existing treatment methods are applied in a planned and reasonable manner to maximize the cure rate, improve the quality of life and reduce the cost of tumor treatment.

2. Radiotherapy cycle for esophageal cancer

Each patient should clearly understand the frequency and cycle of radiotherapy for esophageal cancer based on their own physical condition and tolerance. They should not blindly pursue killing cancer cells and excessive radiotherapy, which is not only not conducive to the patient's recovery, but may also aggravate the progression of the disease. The length of the radiotherapy cycle for esophageal cancer should be determined by the attending physician based on the total radiation dose and the different radiobiological effects of different parts and different esophageal cancers.

Clinically, radiotherapy for esophageal cancer generally takes 6-8 weeks, with irradiation once a day, 5 times a week, and 2 days of rest. This is conducive to the recovery of normal cells and tissues. During radiotherapy, try not to interrupt the treatment to avoid prolonging the treatment time and reducing the effect of radiotherapy. In order to excrete the toxins released by the necrosis of esophageal cancer cells caused by radiotherapy as soon as possible, you should drink more water. The daily water intake is about 3000 ml to increase urine volume and reduce systemic reactions. Although radiotherapy for esophageal cancer can kill tumor cells, its toxic side effects are also very obvious, especially its immunosuppressive effect is very harmful to patients. Long-term radiotherapy for patients will seriously affect their quality of life and hinder the in-depth treatment.

Studies have found that the D component of Grifola frondosa (D component) is a powerful biological response modifier that can effectively activate cellular immune function, activate human immune cell groups, stimulate the secretion of various cytokines, and enhance local immune response to tumors. Clinically, the synergistic anti-tumor effect of Grifola frondosa D component combined with radiotherapy is very obvious, which can induce tumor cell apoptosis, reduce the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy, and effectively improve the treatment effect.
