What should I do after radiotherapy for lung cancer? Three key points of nursing for radiotherapy for lung cancer

Lung cancer can be treated with radiotherapy, but different treatment methods can cause complications if they are not properly cared for, and the same is true for reflexology. Experts recommend that clinical diet care for lung cancer radiotherapy be done well, physical fitness be improved, skin care be taken care of, and infection be avoided. Finally, psychological care should be done well to increase confidence in disease treatment.

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor disease, but it can be treated in different ways. Radiotherapy is a treatment for lung cancer, and it is relatively effective for small cell lung cancer. Clinically, radiotherapy is a limited treatment method, and it also needs to be combined with other nursing methods to improve the patient's quality of life.

If lung cancer patients are not well cared for after radiotherapy, some complications may occur, such as radiation pneumonia, esophagitis, esophageal fistula, and pulmonary fibrosis. However, there will be individual differences in the treatment of different patients with radiotherapy. Therefore, it is best to cooperate with some nursing measures in clinical practice to reduce the probability of complications.

First of all, lung cancer patients should pay attention to their diet after radiotherapy. They can eat more high-quality protein, such as eggs or lean meat. They can also eat more foods containing vitamins and trace elements to improve the body's resistance. Do not eat greasy and difficult to digest foods, which will increase digestive system symptoms.

Secondly, lung cancer patients also need psychological care, because patients themselves are under physical pain and pressure. If the psychological pressure is too great, the treatment effect of the disease will not be seen. Clinically, it is necessary to increase patients' confidence and patience in disease treatment.

Finally, radiotherapy for lung cancer also requires good skin care. If radiation damage occurs, skin infection may also occur. This is because radiation is harmful to the body itself. Coupled with the influence of malignant tumors, the patient's body is in a weak condition, so it is reasonable for infection to occur.

The above experts have briefly summarized the nursing knowledge after radiotherapy for lung cancer. Although many malignant tumors are demons, the existence of certain psychological pressures will also increase the pain of patients. In clinical practice, the family members of lung cancer patients also need to cooperate in nursing, so as to improve the effect of clinical treatment of lung cancer.
