How to treat early breast cancer after radical resection?

After complete resection of early breast cancer, general treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, etc. are still needed, as follows:

1. General treatment

After a patient is diagnosed with breast cancer, family members should provide good care to help the patient relieve negative emotions, which is conducive to improving prognosis. If severe vomiting symptoms occur during treatment, antiemetic drugs such as palonosetron and vitamin B6 can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Radiation therapy

This method is to eliminate cancer cells through radiation. Postoperative radiotherapy can reduce the probability of tumor metastasis and recurrence, thereby prolonging the patient's survival.

3. Chemotherapy

Commonly used chemical substances are anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin, epirubicin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, etc., which can inhibit the growth and metabolic process of cancer cells, interfere with the reproduction of cancer cells, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

4. Endocrine therapy

Endocrine therapy refers to the use of anti-estrogen drugs, such as moxifen, clomiphene, etc., to prevent postoperative recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer and avoid the occurrence of contralateral breast cancer.

Radical resection of early breast cancer, combined with the above-mentioned treatments, can usually achieve a good prognosis and avoid excessive stress during the illness.
