Experts answer the latest methods of treating breast cancer

Speaking of breast cancer, many female friends may know that breast cancer seriously endangers their health. So what are the methods to treat breast cancer ? Let's ask experts to talk about the latest methods to treat breast cancer.

Currently, the latest treatments for breast cancer include:

Given the special significance of breasts to women, the current treatment model for breast cancer has undergone a fundamental change, which is first reflected in the gradual reduction of the scope of surgery. After completing the regional resection of the breast, patients can continue to maintain a good figure and ensure a high quality of life, while the subsequent radiotherapy is sufficient to make the retained breast receive more uniform and sufficient irradiation, eliminating the remaining tumor cells, and its effect is equivalent to that of a total mastectomy. At the same time, in previous breast cancer surgeries, axillary lymph node dissection is essential, but now research shows that if the sentinel lymph nodes have not metastasized, it can be considered not to do it.

The continuous development of new chemotherapy drugs has significantly improved the effectiveness of treating breast cancer. It can alleviate the condition of patients with recurrent and metastatic breast cancer, prolong survival, and reduce the risk of recurrence and metastasis of early breast cancer after surgery. For postmenopausal patients with positive estrogen receptors, endocrine therapy for breast cancer is as effective as chemotherapy, but has milder and fewer toxic and side effects, which is conducive to long-term treatment. Therefore, it occupies a very important position in the treatment of breast cancer. We can call chemotherapy and endocrine therapy the "left and right arms" of internal medicine treatment of breast cancer. On the long road to treating breast cancer, the left and right hands can be exchanged, but the pace must never stop.
