stage four cancer
<<The fourth stage of cancer is not terminal! >>
Recently, several patients have been re-exagnated all the way. Suddenly, I came back and said a few words that burst into tears. I think it's strange because my condition is getting better, but why am I suddenly so sad? It turned out that they were all told by other doctors that they were stage four, which was terminal cancer. They were very shocked.
Therefore, the author must tell me what is the fourth phase. Is the fourth phase really not medically treated? Is it really the terminal stage?
The simple answer is, of course not!
Qianqi, don't give the fourth phase a label that makes the patient lose the will to treat.
The concept of the fourth issue is actually outdated for a long time.
In fact, the so-called fourth phase is just a statistical stage. It is mainly determined for the convenience of research and the survival rate of cancer for countries and localities. The staging method of each type of cancer is different. But to put it simply, generally the first and second stages belong to the early stage, and the third stage is the middle stage. Generally, there is local lymphatic metastasis. As for the meaning of the fourth phase, it actually refers to distant lymphatic metastasis or transfer to tissues or organs that are not near the primary tumor. For example, lung cancer metastasis to the bone, or kidney cancer metastasis to the lungs, both of which belong to the fourth stage.
If the cancer is only a few bone metastasises, it is the fourth stage. Another hundred places of the whole body are transferred, and it is the fourth phase. In the so-called fourth phase, it actually includes a large group of very different patients. The prognosis and treatment of each patient can be very different. It doesn't mean that the fourth stage of every patient is the same. For example, in fact, many patients with stage IV lung cancer or breast cancer, if there are only one or a few metastasises, many times electrotherapy can be used to eliminate the cancer in these places, and long-term survival can be achieved.
For example, prostate cancer can survive for a long time even if it is a patient who has spread the disease, or even a patient who has spread a lot of places, with appropriate drug treatment and electrotherapy!
Especially nowadays, anti-cancer drugs are becoming more and more advanced, and the chance of patients in the fourth phase becoming long-term patients will be higher and higher. In recent years, different pharmaceutical factories and research institutions have continuously launched new drugs. In addition to traditional chemotherapy and target drugs, in the past six years, coupled with immunotherapy, target drugs have been selected more accurately through gene sequencing. In the next few years, there will be more and more cell treatments, such as car T cells. Add ablative dose of high-precision positioning electrotherapy to achieve the dose that can eliminate cancer. The development of cancer treatment is really a thousand miles in a day!
In fact, many people who suffer from solid and spread cancer can become long-term diseases in a few years! That is, it is like a long-term treatment of hypertension and diabetes. The above mentioned is not calculated that it can be cultivated through traditional Chinese medicine, conditioning the body and improving the quality of life.
Let's take an example and everyone will understand. In the past, her2-shaped diffuse breast cancer was basically difficult to treat. But since more than a decade ago, a target drug for this disease has been launched continuously. The effect of the treatment is really getting better and better. That is, according to the data of 2016, the spread of breast cancer, the so-called fourth stage of patients, with the latest target drug and chemotherapy drug treatment, the average survival has reached almost five years! In the past five or six years, coupled with the launch of different drugs, I believe that the survival period has been greatly improved.
Of course, there is no denying that some cancers are still very difficult to treat.
It's mainly because traditional medicine chemotherapy doesn't help this cancer. But now through genetic sequencing, we have indeed learned that every kind of cancer will occur, and the spot is resistant to drugs, so as to determine targeted treatment.
