Finally told the truth about cancer chemotherapy! Five kinds of cancer patients don’t need chemotherapy.

The original DrX theory of medical rivers and lakes

In these years in the hospital, I found a strange phenomenon, that is, people who don’t have cancer are very afraid of getting cancer and talk about cancer discoloration; People who have cancer are afraid of chemotherapy and talk about chemotherapy discoloration. Fear comes from the unknown, and people always feel panic and nervous about things they don’t know.

I think of a case once, it was a working day morning, and I just returned to the office after checking the room, ready to have a drink. At this time, a patient’s daughter followed in. Although she didn’t speak, I could feel her dissatisfaction from her expression.

She didn’t go out to buy fruit when she was just making rounds. When she came out of the ward, she just met her back and said hello to me and thanked me. How could this happen again? I can’t help but make a whisper in my heart.

I quickly asked her if there was anything she didn’t understand. She said, "Doctor, I heard from my dad that you just mentioned chemotherapy to him. We must know such a big thing as chemotherapy, not to mention that I also heard that chemotherapy is harmful …" The more the patient’s daughter said, the more wrong she was. I quickly interrupted her.

"Well, your father’s current situation is definitely not suitable for surgery, so we suggested chemotherapy. When we introduced your father, we also emphasized the need to let your family know, but you weren’t there at that time, what’s more, it was only a preliminary suggestion …"

Before I finished, she immediately became anxious: "I don’t care, my father just can’t have chemotherapy!" "

Chemotherapy, as one of the common treatments for cancer, can effectively improve the survival rate of patients, but in reality, many people, like this family member, think that chemotherapy is a very painful thing, which not only makes patients suffer, but also makes people die faster.

Chemotherapy, is it to save people or harm people?

Chemotherapy, in fact, the abbreviation of chemical drug therapy, chemotherapy is essentially cytotoxic drug therapy. As a drug therapy, the ways of medication are divided into intravenous drip, intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, subcutaneous injection and oral administration. In a word, the ultimate goal of all these medication methods is to input drugs into the patient’s body and exert a powerful toxic effect on the rapidly growing cancer cells in the human body, thus killing the cancer cells.

Because chemotherapy drugs have no ability to distinguish "friend or foe" after entering the human body, normal cells will be damaged during chemotherapy, leading to some adverse reactions and side effects in patients. It is also because of these that people generally think that chemotherapy is harmful to people.

However, it should be emphasized that chemotherapy has outstanding advantages over surgery and radiotherapy. Because traditional surgery and radiotherapy are local treatments, they can only focus on the tumors that need treatment.

Surgery and radiotherapy have been helpless for potential lesions that cannot be accurately detected by instruments and have spread. Chemotherapy, on the other hand, is omnibearing and can wander around the whole body. For example, tumors that cannot be eradicated by surgery, such as acute leukemia and lymphoma, can often be controlled and even cured by chemotherapy.

Seeing this, some people may be puzzled. Some cancer patients were fine, but how did they die soon after chemotherapy? This kind of situation does exist in clinic, and it is generally related to two reasons.

One is that there are differences among individuals. For example, some cancer patients are older, have poor physical fitness and are complicated with many diseases, which is likely to lead to serious complications and death during chemotherapy.

The second is the limitation of chemotherapy. The limitation of chemotherapy is that chemotherapy is not sensitive to all tumors, and not all patients can benefit from chemotherapy. Finally, some cancer patients die because they cannot get effective treatment.

These five kinds of cancer patients, try not to chemotherapy.

① Early cancer patients

The stage of cancer often determines the prognosis. The earlier the stage, the better the treatment effect. The later the staging, the worse the treatment effect. If the cancer is at an early stage when it is found, it must be lucky.

Fortunately, patients can not only spend a lot less money and suffer a lot less, but also improve the survival rate as much as possible. Because many early cancers can be solved by surgery, such as gastric cancer, colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer, patients with such early cancers do not need chemotherapy after surgery.

② Patients who are not sensitive to chemotherapy

Some cancers are not sensitive to chemotherapy, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumor, renal clear cell carcinoma and thyroid papillary carcinoma. The chemotherapy effect of these cancers is often poor, and the patients benefit little from chemotherapy, and even chemotherapy is completely ineffective. This kind of cancer is not suitable for chemotherapy, but some other treatments, such as targeted drug therapy, surgery and radioiodine therapy.

In addition, some patients are naturally insensitive to certain chemotherapy drugs, and the effect after medication is not very satisfactory; Either after repeated chemotherapy, they have developed drug resistance, and chemotherapy is not recommended for such patients.

③ Patients with terminal cancer

The terminal stage is the terminal stage. Some people are already in the terminal stage when they find cancer. The whole person is very thin, anaemic and weak, and has repeated fever. This often means that cancer cells have spread widely, and patients’ nutritional status and immunity are very poor.

This kind of patients really don’t recommend chemotherapy, because they can’t bear chemotherapy, and it doesn’t make much sense to go to chemotherapy at this time, which will only increase the pain of patients for no reason.

④ Cancer patients with serious diseases.

The most unfortunate thing in this world is being targeted by cancer. If there is anything more unfortunate than this, it should be that cancer is accompanied by serious diseases. For example, some patients with liver cancer will be complicated with liver failure; Some patients with renal cancer will be complicated with uremia or renal failure. This kind of patient is obviously not suitable for chemotherapy. If chemotherapy is forced, it will hurt more than benefit.

⑤ There is a better alternative treatment.

In fact, many people’s treatment of cancer is still at the stage many years ago. In fact, with the development of targeted therapy and immunotherapy, more and more non-chemotherapy anti-tumor drugs have come out, so some tumors have entered the "chemotherapy-free era", and naturally there is no need for chemotherapy.

Of course, this also depends on the situation. Once targeted and immunotherapy have no effect in the end, chemotherapy must be considered.

In a word, there are specialties in the field of surgery, and whether chemotherapy is needed depends largely on the patient’s own situation, so it is impossible for doctors to make a decision casually. What we need to do is to increase professional knowledge and avoid useless panic.
