How long should I take oral chemotherapy drugs for breast cancer?

Oral chemotherapy drugs for breast cancer generally require 3 to 5 courses of treatment, and the specific dosage of the drug needs to be selected under the guidance of a doctor based on the actual individual situation.

Breast cancer is the uncontrolled proliferation of mammary epithelial cells, followed by malignant changes. The cause is not fully understood, but it is mainly related to genetic factors. After the disease occurs, as the tumor volume continues to increase, it will cause compression to the breast area, manifesting as breast lumps and abnormal breast skin. Generally speaking, oral chemotherapy drugs can be treated under the guidance of a doctor. Commonly used drugs include capecitabine tablets, Tegafur capsules, compound cyclophosphamide tablets, etc., which help inhibit the growth of tumor cells. If the breast cancer patient's condition is mild, it is usually necessary to take 3 courses of treatment. If the patient's condition is serious, the medication time will be extended, and about 5 courses of treatment will be required.

If you become sick, you need to go to the hospital's oncology department, breast surgery department, breast internal medicine department and other departments in time for treatment. You also need to adjust your mentality in time and build confidence in overcoming the disease.
