What problems are likely to occur during radiotherapy for esophageal cancer?

After radiotherapy for esophageal cancer, there are often some side effects and some undesirable problems, which bring great trouble to the treatment of esophageal cancer patients. So what problems are likely to occur after radiotherapy for esophageal cancer
?
Esophageal Cancer Expert Introduced here.
. Tracheal reaction: A few weeks after irradiation treatment, cough will occur due to tracheal inflammatory reaction, mostly dry cough with less phlegm. Generally, the tracheal reaction is mild and does not require special treatment. If necessary, ultrasonic aerosol inhalation can be given, and a humidifier can be used at home instead. Moisten respiratory mucosa and reduce symptoms.
. Esophageal reaction: Esophageal reaction is the most common side reaction that occurs in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing radiotherapy. Most patients often develop radiation-induced esophagitis of varying severity during the first week of radiation treatment. Due to the congestion and edema of the esophageal mucosa, the clinical manifestations are the gradual worsening of the existing dysphagia or pain when eating. Seriously affect dietary intake.
. Pay attention to observe whether there are esophageal holes, bleeding and other complications: carefully record the nature of the patient's pain, changes in body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, etc., and closely observe whether there are any abnormalities, whether there are The phenomenon of choking and coughing after eating or drinking water is a good basis for the doctor to determine whether the patient has esophageal perforation or bleeding. If any problem occurs, the doctor should be reported to the doctor as soon as possible to provide rescue treatment as soon as possible.
. Taking ginsenoside R during radiotherapy and chemotherapy
can enhance the curative effect and help recovery
. Generally speaking, doctors will check the liver function of the patient before and after chemotherapy. If the liver function is damaged, when choosing drugs To avoid, or choose drugs to protect liver function. Some Chinese medicines can damage liver and kidney function, so many doctors may suggest that it is best to stop using Chinese medicines during chemotherapy.
. However, the natural anti-cancer active ingredient preparations extracted from traditional Chinese medicine have an irreplaceable special role in cooperating with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. On the one hand, it compensates for the damage caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy to all aspects of the body, improves the above-mentioned side effects, and promotes the patient's self-healing ability. On the other hand, it can reduce the emergence of chemotherapy resistance, thereby reducing the number of chemotherapy drugs.
. Researchers from Jilin University stated in the article "The Effect of Ginsenoside R
Combined with Cisplatin on Human Laryngeal Cancer Cells
": Ginsenoside R
is the anti-bacterial agent in ginseng. The main component of tumor activity
can induce tumor cell apoptosis. Therefore, the combined use of
Ginsenoside R
and DD (
cisplatin)
can play a synergistic effect in the treatment of tumors,
thereby reducing The dosage of D
is to achieve the purpose of reducing the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy drugs.
. Dr. Xu Jingda, director of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, honorary chairman of the National Ginseng Association, and natural medicinal chemist, published in "Research Progress of Ginsenoside R
" (
published in
The article "Ginseng Research")
also pointed out that in addition to the function of ginsenosides in improving immunity, ginsenosides R
also have strong anti-cancer activity. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments have confirmed that it inhibits the reproduction and growth of cancer cells, and its mechanism of action is believed to be the induction of redifferentiation.
. At the same time, clinical use shows that ginsenoside R
can resist the damage caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy to peripheral blood cells, protect hematopoietic function
can protect the gastric mucosa, and improve gastrointestinal function
Enhance the patient's physique, improve disease resistance, and reduce the chance of infection
Protect organs and reduce organ function damage. Thereby improving the quality of life and reducing pain of chemotherapy patients.
. According to the existing experimental research literature, R
can resist the adverse reactions of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the following aspects.
It can resist the damage caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy to peripheral blood cells, and also has obvious protective and promoting effects on bone marrow hematopoietic function. Effectively prevents bone marrow damage during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which is beneficial to the completion of radiotherapy and chemotherapy cycles and improves clinical efficacy.
. R
It is not only a tonic agent for tonic treatment, but also a protective agent for the function of various organs and tissues, including the gastrointestinal tract. Dietary intake can significantly reduce gastrointestinal adverse reactions caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
. R
Can increase the specific and non-specific immune functions of cancer patients. Enhance the patient's physical constitution, improve disease resistance, reduce the chance of infection, and increase the tolerance of the patient's tissues and organs to radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
By protecting organ function, it resists damage to organ function caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
. In short, R
has shown obvious efficacy in clinical and experimental studies in preventing and treating adverse reactions of radiotherapy and chemotherapy
. Ginsenoside r
