What to do after breast cancer surgery

What to do after breast cancer surgery?

Surgery is the first choice for breast cancer. Whether systemic chemotherapy and local radiotherapy are performed, and whether endocrine therapy is needed, is determined based on postoperative pathological diagnosis and clinical staging. There is no uniform standard for postoperative rehabilitation exercises for breast cancer, and different research institutions use different methods. This is because if limb function exercises are not performed in time after surgery, the contraction of scar tissue will affect the movement of the shoulder joint.

After radical mastectomy for breast cancer, the surgical wound is large, blood infiltration is high, and body fluid consumption is large. Proper attention should be paid to the postoperative diet. The diet should be easily digestible, high-protein and rich in vitamins, such as pigeons, cuttlefish, lean meat and various vegetables and fruits, so that the body's strength can be restored as soon as possible, wound healing can be promoted, and the body can tolerate postoperative auxiliary treatment.

After chemotherapy and targeted drug therapy, patients can be classified according to their molecular structure. If the patient is hormone receptor positive, endocrine drug therapy can be considered. Endocrine drug therapy needs to be combined with the patient's menopause. If the patient is in menopause, drugs such as tamoxifen can be considered. If the patient is post-menopause, drugs such as letrozole and anastrozole can be considered. Commonly used drugs include tamoxifen and letrozole tablets, which act on endocrine receptors. During treatment, attention should also be paid to regular inspections and monitoring of changes in test indicators.
