How to care?

1. Psychological care

Patients with malignant tumors may experience a series of psychological changes, including denial, anger, compromise, depression and acceptance stages to varying degrees. They should be closely observed and given different guidance and psychological support.

2. Nutritional care

Patients are encouraged to take in adequate nutrition and eat a high-protein, high-vitamin, high-calorie, easily digestible diet. For those with poor appetite and difficulty eating, small meals and a low-residue diet are recommended. If necessary, intravenous high-nutrient support should be given. During radiotherapy, spicy and dry foods should be avoided, such as pepper, onion, garlic, leek, lamb, chicken, etc.

If the majority of patients simply seek treatment casually or even ignore the disease after getting it, they will regret it. Therefore, the right way is to go to a regular hospital for professional diagnosis and treatment and seek good treatment methods in time.
