Commonly used drugs for bile duct cancer are generally used for auxiliary treatment after surgery. Generally, there are chemotherapy drugs and traditional Chinese medicine, which are used to help the body recover after surgery and kill cancer cells. How to choose commonly used drugs for bile duct cancer? Let’s take a look at the following introduction.

1. Chemotherapy drugs

Chemotherapy is an important treatment for bile duct cancer, especially for advanced bile duct cancer, and it has a more direct inhibitory effect on cancer. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs for bile duct cancer in clinical practice include Jianze, 5-fluorouracil, etc. These drugs have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to evaluate which drug is the best drug for the treatment of bile duct cancer. For example, Gemzet is a first-line drug in clinical practice, but it is easy to cause bone marrow suppression; 5-fluorouracil, in addition to bone marrow suppression, also has more serious gastrointestinal reactions. Therefore, when choosing chemotherapy drugs, do not blindly inquire about which is the best drug for the treatment of bile duct cancer, but should be based on your own body condition and the development of the disease, and ask the doctor for advice. In addition, no matter what kind of chemotherapy drug, it will cause damage to the human body. Most patients find it difficult to tolerate several courses of chemotherapy. At present, it is often combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment in clinical practice to play a role in enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity.

At present, there are many types of Chinese medicine for the treatment of bile duct cancer, but the quality varies. How to choose the right medicine for patients? First of all, it is recommended that patients go to a regular medical institution for treatment and refer to the doctor's medication recommendations. When choosing a drug by yourself, you should be optimistic about the indications of the drug and learn more about the clinical application of the drug. When choosing to buy, you should be optimistic about whether there is an approval number to avoid buying fake drugs. When using the drug, follow the method of use in the instructions and pay attention to diet during medication.
