What should I pay attention to during chemotherapy for brain cancer?

As the times progress, people's living standards are getting higher and higher. While you are enjoying life with your family, have you ever thought about paying attention to some cancers? Although modern technology is advanced, due to the hidden nature of brain cancer, the symptoms of early cancer patients are extremely subtle. Clinically, it is found that most brain cancer patients have reached the middle and late stages when they show obvious symptoms. Here, we remind our friends that even if you are not sick, you should pay attention to it. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider your family. The health of your family is your own health.

The most commonly used method for treating tumors in clinic is radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and brain cancer is no exception. Clinicians use chemotherapy drugs to treat brain cancer because chemotherapy drugs can kill or injure rapidly growing malignant cells. However, chemotherapy drugs are generally a class of drugs with relatively high toxicity.

Brain cancer chemotherapy drugs are not very good at distinguishing normal cells from malignant cells, and are also toxic to normal cells, causing obvious adverse reactions. Some people believe that during chemotherapy, the greater the chemotherapy reaction, the better the efficacy. Is this true?

Among brain cancer chemotherapy drugs, some drugs such as nitrogen mustard, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin will improve their efficacy as the dosage increases, and it is also possible to overcome the drug resistance of malignant cells to a certain extent. Of course, as the dosage of chemotherapy drugs increases, the adverse reactions will also increase. From this point of view, it seems to make sense that the greater the adverse reactions, the better the chemotherapy effect.

However, some brain cancer chemotherapy drugs, such as bleomycin, vincristine, bleomycin, eufodine, fluticasone, etc., do not increase their efficacy when they exceed a certain dosage range, but their toxicity increases significantly. In addition, with the advancement of adjuvant chemotherapy, the problems caused by drug side effects have been solved as much as possible. For example, peripheral blood leukopenia caused by chemotherapy drugs can be treated with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor after the application of chemotherapy drugs, such as Gilead, Huierxue, Granosate, etc. The side effect of leukopenia is not obvious, and the dosage of chemotherapy drugs can be increased to improve the efficacy. For example, high-dose cisplatin chemotherapy uses antiemetic drugs such as zofuran, so the side effect of vomiting is not strong, and the efficacy is significantly improved compared with low-dose cisplatin.

Therefore, the efficacy of brain cancer chemotherapy should be determined by the specific drugs, the specific chemotherapy methods, whether or not to use auxiliary drugs, etc. It is not entirely correct to simply say that the greater the adverse reactions of brain cancer chemotherapy, the better the efficacy. In principle, chemotherapy should be used to achieve the maximum efficacy and to minimize the adverse reactions of brain cancer chemotherapy drugs.

The above is an introduction to "What should I pay attention to during chemotherapy for brain cancer?" When the above symptoms appear, the patient should go to a regular hospital for treatment. Early detection and early treatment can effectively cure brain cancer. People with brain cancer-related factors are advised to take preventive measures for brain cancer.
