What to do after one year of taking targeted drugs for advanced breast cancer

What should I do after one year of taking targeted drugs for advanced breast cancer?

Patients with advanced breast cancer can improve after one year of targeted drug treatment through enhanced daily care, regular check-ups, radiotherapy, and other methods.

1. Strengthen daily care:

The disease is a malignant change caused by uncontrolled proliferation of breast epithelial cells, which is mainly related to abnormal hormone secretion and genetic factors. After the disease, breast lumps, breast skin abnormalities and other phenomena will appear. If you use targeted drugs for treatment for one year under the guidance of a doctor, you should develop a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early in your daily life, and don't stay up late or overwork. Pay attention to a balanced diet and a scientific and reasonable lifestyle, which will help the recovery of the disease.

2. Regular review:

Advanced breast cancer has a certain degree of diffusion and metastasis. After using targeted drug treatment, patients need to go to the hospital for regular checkups according to the doctor's advice, such as breast B ultrasound examination, mammography examination, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. Standardized examinations can help understand the recovery of the disease and adjust the treatment method in time.

3. Radiotherapy:

If targeted drug treatment is not effective after one year, radiotherapy can generally be performed under the guidance of a doctor. This method can use radioactivity to eliminate and cure the primary or metastatic local tumor, control the disease, and improve the patient's discomfort.

In addition to the common treatments mentioned above, there are also improved methods such as chemotherapy, surgery, and traditional Chinese medicine therapy. If necessary, go to the hospital's breast surgery or oncology department for treatment in time.
