For patients with lung cancer, the most terrifying thing is the recurrence of lung cancer. The recurrence of lung cancer is a headache. So, how can we prevent the recurrence of lung cancer? To prevent the recurrence of lung cancer, we must pay attention to the following 6 points: First: Prevention of recurrence after surgical treatment of lung cancer. Immunotherapy and Chinese and Western medicine with systemic therapeutic effects should be given to restore the body's immune function as soon as possible, eliminate residual cancer cells, or further strengthen the body and eliminate evil. Especially for those with positive resection ends confirmed by postoperative pathology, bronchofiberscope, sputum or other examinations should be performed regularly (3 to 6 months) and local radiotherapy should be performed as soon as possible. Chemotherapy has no significant effect on reducing the mortality rate of recurrence at the original site or ipsilateral recurrence. Traditional Chinese medicine drug therapy and nonspecific immunotherapy can be used as important preventive treatment methods. Patients in the recovery period of lung cancer need to take active drug therapy as the most important preventive method. In particular, ginsenoside Rh2 (such as the "Jinxing" capsules produced and developed by Asia Pharmaceutical, which contain ginsenoside Rh2 content of 16.2%) can achieve anti-tumor effects through four major mechanisms: reversing the differentiation of lung cancer cells into normal cells, regulating the proliferation cycle of tumor cells, immunomodulating effects, and repairing the damage caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy in tumor patients. It can also effectively prevent the recurrence and metastasis of lung cancer and greatly increase the recovery rate of kidney cancer patients. Second, the lung cancer surgery process is very important to prevent the recurrence of lung cancer. During the surgery, cancer-free surgery should be strictly implemented to avoid and eliminate iatrogenic implants. 1. For cross-lobar lesions, multi-lobectomy should be performed if lung function permits, and lobectomy plus partial resection of the invaded adjacent lobe should be avoided. 2. Sleeve lobectomy should increase the length of the bronchial resection margin as much as possible. 3. For small unilobar lesions, lobectomy should be performed. The general principle is to eliminate existing cancer cells as much as possible to reduce recurrence. Third, the indications for blood transfusion should be strictly followed, and autologous blood transfusion or blood transfusion should be encouraged to reduce the impact of blood transfusion on the immune function of patients with non-cancer or other malignant tumors and reduce the risk of recurrence after surgery. Fourth, lung cancer patients should avoid mental stimulation, colds, infections and excessive fatigue. When a patient has a tumor, the first thing he thinks about is himself, his family and the society. A tumor patient will think why he has this disease and that he is inferior to others. The patient and his family must not have such thoughts. Family members and people in the society should treat the patient, especially the patient in the recovery period, as a normal person and guide and understand him. Never make the patient too nervous. Fifth, the diet should be rich and varied, light and nutritious. The main foods are meat porridge, fish porridge, egg porridge, barley porridge, lily porridge, wolfberry porridge and other porridges and soups, with fruits and fresh vegetables. In daily life, you can listen to light music, folk music, and Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 to relax your body and mind and improve your quality of life. Sixth, it is necessary to closely observe the patient's breathing, blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and changes in consciousness. If there is any abnormality, report it to the doctor immediately and treat it symptomatically. If the patient coughs up phlegm, encourage the patient to cough it out by himself. If the patient has difficulty expectorating, pat the back to help expectorate. If necessary, use a sputum suction device. When resting or sleeping, pay attention to lying on one side with the head tilted to prevent suffocation by phlegm. If the patient suddenly loses his voice, changes his complexion, or stops breathing, he must be reported to the doctor immediately for emergency rescue. In short, to prevent the recurrence of lung cancer, the first thing to do is to adjust your mentality, face reality bravely, and face the challenges of the disease with an optimistic attitude. If this requirement is met, the chance of lung cancer recurrence will be significantly reduced. |
