What should we pay attention to when caring for teratoma

What should be paid attention to in teratoma care? The histological grading of teratoma helps to determine the prognosis and guide treatment. Grade 0 or grade 1 teratomas have a low chance of malignant transformation and most of them do not metastasize. Grade 3 teratomas have the highest chance of malignant transformation. So, what should be paid attention to in teratoma?

Once a teratoma is diagnosed, the tumor should be removed surgically immediately. Chemotherapy should be given before surgery, and conditions should be created for elective surgery. For malignant teratomas, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy should be given after surgical resection. The timing of treatment and the outcome of treatment are closely related.

In addition, patients with teratoma should pay attention to the following points:

1. In normal times, you should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, avoid eating stale, spoiled or irritating foods, eat less smoked, grilled, pickled, fried, and overly salty foods, pay attention to appropriately increasing the intake of protein and vitamins, and match coarse and fine grains in staple foods to ensure nutritional balance.

2. Be careful to avoid staying up late, avoid overwork, avoid drastic mood changes, do moderate physical exercise, strengthen your physical fitness, and improve your own disease resistance.

3. The diet should be light and easy to digest, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.

4. Patients with teratoma can take a walk appropriately at ordinary times, but try not to do high jump or other dangerous actions.

Warm reminder: What you need to pay attention to about teratoma is very clear in the introduction above. Patients need to actively respond to the treatment of the disease, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and take protective measures in life. In addition, if you encounter any problems during the medication period, you must consult a pharmacist in time.
