Methods to prevent gallbladder cancer metastasis

It is very difficult to treat gallbladder cancer after its recurrence and metastasis. Experts say that prevention of gallbladder cancer recurrence and metastasis must start from several aspects:

1. First of all, it is necessary to review the recurrence of the tumor. It is best to have regular examinations to check whether there is local or systemic tumor metastasis. Be sure to review CT or MR or B-ultrasound, CEA, CA119, etc. In general, patients should have a B-ultrasound and chest X-ray examination every 2 months, and a CT scan every six months to understand the condition of the liver and bile duct. Also pay attention to systemic changes, such as gradually worsening fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, repeated right upper abdominal pain, fever, chills, anemia, infection, etc. If the above conditions occur, go to the hospital for examination in time. You should also know how to self-examine, mainly to observe whether there are new tumors, nodules, ulcers, etc. in the original lesion site and its vicinity, and whether there is any new pain. Once abnormalities are found, you should seek medical attention in time.

2. The second is diet adjustment. Diet is the key to determine whether the disease can be recovered. Only by eating the right food can there be hope of recovery. The diet of patients with gallbladder cancer mainly avoids too greasy food, overeating, and irritating food. Eat more foods with bile-promoting and anti-cancer effects, such as buckwheat, taro, lily, sea cucumber, fungus, etc. In addition, the diet of patients with gallbladder cancer should also give priority to easily digestible foods. Especially after surgical removal of the gallbladder, due to the absence of the gallbladder, the lack of bile secretion to help digest food, the intake of fat and cholesterol should be reduced as much as possible, and fat, fried food, animal offal, etc. should not be eaten or eaten less. Protein-rich foods should be increased to meet the needs of human metabolism, such as lean meat, aquatic products, soy products, etc. Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Patients with gallbladder cancer should also develop the habit of eating regularly, and eat small meals frequently to adapt to the physiological changes after cholecystectomy. The symptoms of indigestion will last for about half a year. As time goes by, the common bile duct gradually expands and partially replaces the function of the gallbladder, and the symptoms of indigestion will gradually ease. At this time, the diet of bile duct cancer patients can gradually transition to normal. Such a moderate diet can play a certain inhibitory role in the recurrence and metastasis of gallbladder cancer.

3. Keep a happy mood and relax your mind. The first good medicine for cancer recovery is a "good attitude". Gallbladder cancer patients in the recovery period must avoid long-term and excessive mental stress. You can listen to light music and watch more comedy TV programs to increase your happiness index and keep yourself in a good mood. Medically speaking, a good mood can drive our endocrine system, enhance our body's immune mechanism, and reduce the chance of cancer recurrence and metastasis.

4. Appropriate physical exercise. Gallbladder cancer patients should strengthen their physical fitness and improve their immune function and disease resistance on the basis of ensuring adequate rest, which is also an important part of effectively preventing cancer recurrence. Especially aerobic exercise, such as swimming, Guolin Qigong, Tai Chi, jogging, walking, etc. It can stimulate the repair of the body's immune mechanism, enhance the body's disease resistance, and reduce the chance of cancer recurrence.

5. Pay attention to follow-up treatment during the recovery period. It is recommended that after receiving western medicine treatment, gallbladder cancer patients should go to a regular large hospital to see a famous old Chinese medicine doctor and take Chinese medicine decoction to recuperate their bodies. If you feel that boiling Chinese medicine is troublesome, you should also choose a suitable Chinese patent medicine to consolidate the therapeutic effect! Chinese medicine treatment can change the ecological environment in the body, thereby inhibiting the recurrence and metastasis of tumors.
