Vitamin D against breast cancer should be limited

According to British scientists in the "British Journal of Cancer," published in the latest research findings, vitamin D in breast cancer patients using gene variation appears likely to double the normal. Studies have confirmed that vitamin D may help prevent breast cancer, sometimes can make the already existing tumor regression.

The latest findings are from St. George School of Medicine reached, which means that vitamin D receptor for (VDR) gene in female variant, the protective effect of vitamin D to its low. 241 scientists aged 50 to 81, and 181 healthy women aged 29 to 91 years were investigated in breast cancer patients, mainly to understand the VDR gene polymorphisms. The results showed that women carrying the BsmI genotype the risk of breast cancer is twice the general population, but also more susceptible to other more dangerous tumors. The researchers believe that this study further confirmed through the VDR gene polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of the tumor plays a very important role.

Researchers believe: Although vitamin D and its analogues in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer plays a very important effect on the evaluation of VDR polymorphisms distinguish dangerous for people, to develop appropriate interventions are critical The.

From St. George Institute for Medical Oncology Dr Kay Colston told Reuters that they now hope to recruit 800 breast cancer patients and 800 healthy women, further studies to further confirm the above conclusion. He said: If this finding is confirmed, we believe that VDR gene polymorphisms also increase the risk of breast cancer is just a sign, we will further consider changes in diet or lifestyle factors such as whether to change its disease risk. He stressed that in the present case, the use of this screening study is not appropriate for women in this study should not be alone and suddenly a large number of vitamin D. Cancer Research UK said it had a large number of effects on vitamin D for cancer research, some new cancer treatment based on vitamin D is the foundation. Such research is important because it helps us to distinguish women with high risk of breast cancer, and treatment of the disease provides a clue.

How to prevent upper extremity edema after breast cancer

First, not to hand or hands are heavy, try not to do need to arm muscles so that the major strength of the job. Due to muscle hard, you need a lot of muscle oxygen supply, this will cause a lot of blood into the arm, and then the arm will be from congestive venous blood and lymph fluid transport out.

Second, usually the regular activities of the arm should also do housework, or appropriate working point. Try to set the arm position above the heart, such as with a few pillows to elevate the arm, but be aware, to prop up the arm, and not just support the lower arm. Package needs to be thrown over your shoulder should be destroyed in the absence of that side of the shoulder surgery. Women feel shoulder pain, shoulder bag should avoid. Usually possible hand on the top or skirt pocket, this would relax the shoulders, arms and other muscles. Usually not too tight armholes clothes, lace bra was easily inserted into the shoulder where it does not matter, if necessary, can be widened or add a liner tape.

Third, wear rings, bracelets, watches, should be more lenient as far as possible, do not let them easily inserted into the skin, but also the arm to avoid direct heat such as hot water bath, washed with hot dishes, ironing long, long time the sun and so on.

Also drew attention to the blood circulation slow down when the arm after the arm, especially the skin is slightly broken hand injury, for example, cut, split, burn, thorn scratches, etc., more difficult to heal. When necessary, disinfection should take timely measures, such as disinfection with iodine solution, if there is no disinfectant hand, pure alcohol can also be used. To avoid unnecessary wound, not an operation that should normally be in the side of blood, injection and infusion. Axillary lymph node region, not subcutaneous or acupuncture treatment. That is, that side of the upper extremity surgery as not injecting drugs, or these areas will increase the possibility of congestion. In addition, to prevent the risk of congestion, the best measurement of blood pressure should be there without surgery.

Long as we persist in implementing these measures, there will be satisfied with the results. However, still there is always the tendency to edema. As long as we exercise the right and proper attention to the arm rest, make 70 - 80% of the intact arm swelling or thinning. Further treatment is worn on the arm flexible bandage. If these measures do not work, you need to eliminate congestion by mechanical massage or reduce the swelling of the drug.

To reduce the swelling of several drugs with caution, because:

⑴ diuretic effect of drugs can not be long-term use, it will increase the intracellular concentration of tissue proteins, which we do not want.

⑵ for intravenous drugs in, and sometimes swelling of the effective short-term, chronic swelling has confirmed that there is not much effect.

⑶ is recommended to treat lymphatic congestion in the cream or gel medicines, will have an instant cooling and cold pleasure, and thus feel more comfortable. But for chronic swelling of the arm and chest, there will be no fundamental improvement.

Finally, the arm swelling to say a few question:

⑴ arm edema, the need to make some adjustments to everyday life, but there is no reason to lose confidence.

⑵ edema at the beginning, you at least the thickness of his arm has some control.

⑶ sure if more and more serious swelling, no matter with or without signs of inflammation, immediate medical consultation should be.

A cup of yogurt every day, so you stay away from breast cancer

Women with the following factors, greater risk of breast cancer: a family history of breast cancer were; 2, the earlier age of menarche; 3, the later age of menopause; 4 is not fertile; 5 first pregnancy later than 30 years of age; 6 with benign breast tumor patients.

To reduce breast cancer mortality, achieve early detection, early treatment purposes, two more are being widely used and effective methods of prevention, one after the end of each period, do a breast self-examination; two women after the age of 35 should be regular breast x-ray examination. In addition, there is no reduction in breast cancer prevention and better solutions?

Netherlands Cancer Foundation and a National Nutrition Institute of Toxicology and an epidemiological study, the exclusion of a number of possible factors related to breast cancer, the study investigated the population will be divided into 2 groups, the first group to adhere to the daily consumption of 250 ml of sour milk of women, the second group of women in the stomach do not often drink sour milk. The results showed that: the first group of women with breast cancer more likely than the second group reduced by 50%. It argues: the regular consumption of yogurt can effectively prevent breast cancer.

People will ask: Why can effectively reduce the yogurt the incidence of breast cancer? This is because there are high activity of yogurt lactic acid bacteria and Streptococcus thermophilus, the product they produce can interfere with enterohepatic circulation of the body. Enterohepatic circulation and absorption of fat the body has a very close relationship, in the event of intervention can reduce body fat absorption. Medical research has confirmed that a small amount of fat absorption of women, the possibility of breast cancer than women of a large quantity of fat absorption is much lower. In addition, a certain amount of sour milk to drink every day can increase the number of human immune globulin, help to improve the nutritional level of the entire body, thereby strengthening the body's immune function, reduce the incidence of breast cancer.

Since yogurt is dairy products, dairy products it is not all it has the function of preventing breast cancer? Address this issue, the experts compared the various dairy products and breast cancer. The results show that, in addition to yogurt, but has not yet found any other dairy products can reduce the incidence of breast cancer.

Therefore, the experts recommended to the majority of women: In order to reduce the incidence of breast cancer, please develop a good daily habit of drinking a cup of yogurt.

Warning! Breast Cancer is spreading

Alerts

1, the world each year about 120 million women suffering from breast cancer, 500,000 women die from breast cancer.

2, Asia, Europe and America significantly lower incidence of breast cancer, but the major cities of China in 10 years the incidence of breast cancer increased by 37%. Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin and coastal areas is a high incidence of breast cancer in China, with Shanghai the highest incidence of female breast cancer in the first. Sample survey, Tianjin, Beijing, Harbin, Wuhan, the incidence of local women have accounted for the first or second malignancy; and mortality rates for female malignant tumor of the fourth and fifth place.

3, breast cancer occurs mainly in women, men rare. The incidence of male breast cancer for nearly a hundred times.

Prone to cause adverse factors for breast cancer:

1. Excessive intake of high fat foods.

2. Often drinking, smoking. A young woman drinking 3 to 6 times a week, each time by 250 ml or 185 ml beer liquor prices, it was at the risk of breast cancer troubles will increase by 30% to 60%.

Prevention of breast cancer: you can do it!

Lifted the psychological panic and worry, you may wish from now on, try the following easy to do prevention.

1. To develop the good habit of exercise. The results show that, in menopausal women before and after regular exercise can reduce the chance of breast cancer 60%, exercise time, less than 4 hours per week, exercise in the form of walking, lifting weights or doing some other hand and arm strength labor.

2. Pay attention to your body straight change. Exercise can reduce the chance of breast cancer Another reason is that it can reduce your weight. A Harvard University study showed that after 18 years of age if the female in the 20-25 kg weight gain after reaching menopause, and those increases only a few kilograms of body weight than women, the chance of breast cancer will double. Therefore, women should begin from a young weight control.

3. Try not to drink. The University of North Caroline epidemiology and nutrition experts, Professor Mayer Marco Leno through research found that women drinking breast cancer is a potential danger. Women often drink a glass of wine a day, will increase the chance of breast cancer 11%, drink two cups a day, an increase of 24%, more than a couple of drinks a day, an increase of 40%. Therefore, experts recommend that you do not drink alcohol or as little as possible, if you can not quit drinking, it should drink three cups a week less than the amount of control.

4. More than the sun. Recent study found that vitamin C and β-carotene does not prevent breast cancer, and vitamin D can. Northern California Cancer Center, Dr. 艾斯尔约翰 explains why the South the number of women suffering from breast cancer because fewer women than the North, because the sunny south, the human skin absorption of sunlight will produce large amounts of vitamin D, since to anti-cancer effect. He also suggested that the sun 10 to 15 minutes a day can make our body get enough vitamin D.

5. Timely vitamin D. If you are worried about the sun would not achieve its proper role, you may wish to have targeted Vitamin D. Study found that women who daily intake of 200 international units (IU) of vitamin D (the equivalent of two cups of vitamin D fortified milk), the chance of breast cancer by 30%. Therefore, experts suggest, 50 years old or younger women every day at least a little bit of added 200 international units of vitamin D, 50-year-old women over a day to add 400 to 600 international units.

Against breast cancer, "three early" effect is well

Breast cancer is the key to prevention and treatment of malignant tumor. Currently, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment (III B) is to improve breast cancer survival rate, the key to reducing mortality.

 

Serious threat to the majority of breast cancer women's lives and health. Although in recent years for breast cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment and other aspects of some progress, the survival rate of patients with breast cancer have been significantly improved. How effective the treatment, depending on the timing of treatment, only early detection and timely treatment in order to achieve better results. Breast superficial location, easy to check, the method is also relatively simple. Therefore, many countries are active in the census in the hope that this helps to achieve the "three early." A lot of experience now shows that indeed effective census, at present, researchers in the etiology of breast cancer have a certain understanding of the circumstances, to improve the survival rate of patients with breast cancer has played a positive role.

The past 10 years, breast cancer has become China women, the fastest rising incidence and mortality of cancer. According to the National Women's Federation and the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association in 2005 published data show that from 1991 to 2000, 10 years, breast cancer mortality among urban women in China grew by 39%, upward trend continues unabated. According to China's millions of women in 2005, chief of breast screening expert Professor Su Fengxi that breast cancer is through early diagnosis and early treatment of cancer mortality. Study confirmed that early screening can reduce mortality in women due to breast cancer due to 20% -30%.

Why breast cancer may metastasize after surgery?

Loss of breast cancer after resection of all women pain in my heart, but they are not acceptable Gengrang is surgery to cure breast cancer does not mean that, in fact, a large proportion of patients with breast cancer after surgery are in or long or short period of time will be distant metastasis, so patients can not help asking: Why breast cancer will occur after the transfer?

Experts say breast cancer, breast cancer surgery is the most important method of treatment of breast cancer, but many patients in the resection of the primary tumor, or even received assistance occurred after chemotherapy of liver, lung, lymph node metastasis metastasis. So why since it has been removed Aikuai, the transfer will happen? To answer this question requires the transfer of cancer have a basic understanding of the steps.

Steps of cancer metastasis:

1, primary tumor growth and increase;

2, invasion of surrounding tissue and penetrate lymphatic and blood vessels;

3, lymphatic and blood vessels within the tumor thrombus and with the lymph, blood running;

4, in the distant organs, lymphatic or blood vessel wall remain;

5, wear clothing to stay at the lymphatic and blood vessels and invades the surrounding tissue;

6, cells in the proliferation, growth, metastasis formation.

That is, why would occur after the transfer of breast cancer is mainly due to cancer is not necessarily based on the growth of the original, it will, through the lymphatic and vascular invasion to other parts of the body, in fact, removed Aikuai, can not completely prevent cancer metastasis.

Understand why the breast cancer cause of the transfer will happen, we need to know how to change shifted postoperative treatment. Experts say physical strength allowed if the patient can only continue chemotherapy, but is bound to bring a variety of physical loss and patient complications, such as physical weakness, reduced immunity, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, and even pain. As a supplementary treatment, can enhance the need to take ginsenoside Rh2 treatment to prevent further proliferation and metastasis. (Studies have shown that ginsenoside Rh2 on the proliferation of human breast cancer cells inhibited by tumor immune function and repair damage caused by chemotherapy patients to achieve anti-tumor effects.)

How specific can play the role of chemotherapy, this is personal, lesions generally are controlled. Chemotherapy in addition to strengthening the immune system with drugs, it is proposed should be carried out if some body exercise. In short do not give up hope of treatment, do not think that breast cancer metastasis was unable to heal.

The most common complication after breast cancer surgery

Surface treatment of breast cancer surgery is surgery, but a wider range of surgery, trauma larger, it also can occur after a variety of complications. And breast cancer-related complications are common:

Easy bleeding after breast cancer

First, the bleeding is a common complication after surgery. Line excision or radical resection may have such complications. Bleeding often causes:

1, intraoperative bleeding is not complete, and the remaining active bleeding point;

2, after the application of continuous negative pressure drainage, postural changes or severe coughing and other reasons to make the blood clot coagulation or ligation of the thread slip off, causing drainage bleeding;

3, preoperative chemotherapy or hormone drugs oozing from the wound easily.

Thorough intraoperative bleeding, especially in parasternal intercostal artery perforator ligation to cope; on muscle bleeding stump and profiles should be aware that ligation or electrocoagulation; of surgery, and carefully check for flushing out the wound with active bleeding ; Note drainage tube placed, the appropriate compression bandage to help prevent postoperative bleeding; Also pay attention to postoperative suction drainage tube patency and drainage, drainage of fluid nature of the clotting mechanism has to be for the cause of poor patients timely symptomatic treatment.

Breast cancer after the accumulation of liquid

Second, fluid refers to the flap and the chest wall or axilla is fluid accumulation, caused by flap can not close the wound. It is also a common complication after breast cancer one. Common reasons are:

1, poor drainage, so that the wound exudate can lead to the accumulation of time;

2, the wound clot formation in blood coagulation, can not be drained, after the formation of fluid liquid;

3, lymph node dissection of fat around the axillary vein, some minor damage but not ligation of lymphatic vessel formation associated with poor drainage of fluid, generally occurs in the axillary lateral;

4, electric knife dissection axillary vein fluid when the opportunity for many more using the scalpel, electric knife may be the healing of the wound to a certain extent, and by the small electrocautery dissection of the lymph vessels after the temporary closure of the negative pressure After the opening there attract, causing fluid;

5, in addition, Ambassador of flap tension is too difficult to cover the wound and drainage tube removed too early and has some relationship.

Axillary dissection when patients found to have small exudate should be neutered, to reduce the tension flap, maintaining negative pressure smooth, appropriate compression bandage will help reduce the incidence of effusion. In case of effusion, can be repeated if the small amount of empty needle aspiration; if larger or more times the amount of suction is invalid, it is desirable or a skin graft replacement suction drainage and compression bandaging.

Skin flap necrosis after breast cancer

Third, flap necrosis is a common complication after breast cancer, due to delayed healing of skin graft necrosis may affect the subsequent treatment. Radical mastectomy more often required removal of the skin, coupled with the scope of the separation of large flap, flap dissection too thin or uneven thickness, will influence the destruction of the dermis flap capillary blood supply; or flap suture tension is too large, when the wound fluid can cause skin flap necrosis; sometimes use the electric knife for local skin burn caused by improper operation or embolization of vascular coagulation and can lead to flap necrosis. 24 hours after flap necrosis that generally see the pale skin of ischemia, and gradually was black and blue swelling, small blisters on the surface, 3 to 7 days to gradually clear the boundaries of necrotic areas, the skin gradually black hard scab form.

Reasonable design before surgery incision, avoiding the side of the flap is too long; attention to the level of separation flap to reduce flap tension, if necessary, to skin graft; avoid fluid, appropriate dressing and other measures will help reduce skin flap necrosis . If flap necrosis occurs in the necrotic area boundary was removed after the flap necrosis. If the cut edge of the necrotic area of ​​less than 2cm, wet packing them in after debridement, dressing changes, often self-healing; necrotic area of ​​skin graft should be larger; if the necrotic area is large and when patients are unwilling to accept the skin graft, often makes delayed wound healing, and often has white skin after the meager growth, friction and damage easily after.

Postoperative edema in breast cancer

Fourth, upper extremity edema after radical mastectomy, the upper back by the lymphatic and blood disorders can lead to upper extremity edema, upper extremity edema in various reports since the incidence of 5% to 40% range. In recent years, the incidence rate of severe upper extremity edema decreased significantly, no more than 5%. Upper back causing a serious obstacle to the reasons:

1, axillary dissection properly, the partial destruction of collateral circulation. In the past to the lymph fat around the axillary vein anatomy, and often the axillary sheath will be removed at the same time also affect the operation of the lymphatic flow, thus no significant surgery such as swelling large lymph nodes, axillary vascular sheath time to dial in addition will, in fact, violations of axillary lymph nodes if axillary sheath, often have non-surgical cure can fully meet the purpose.

2, axillary have fluid or infection, causing local congestion, fibrosis, scar formation prevents the establishment of collateral circulation.

3, after the clavicle, and the next area and axillary radiation therapy, causing local edema, connective tissue proliferation, followed by local fibrosis caused by edema.

Upper extremity edema can result in a few days after surgery after a few years, swelling often part of the upper arm, forearm or back of the hand may. Upper limb function after exercise regularly, avoid heavy manual labor for upper limb and to avoid infection of the upper extremity can reduce the incidence of upper extremity edema. Once the application of upper extremity edema only symptomatic treatment to reduce edema.

Muscle atrophy after breast cancer operation

V, upper limb and hand muscle atrophy often due to surgery or sheath caused by brachial plexus injury, commonly a hypothenar muscle atrophy.

Wrong concept of breast cancer, "one by one break"

One point of view: Most breast cancer patients are women over the age of 50, young women do not have to panic for this day. Clinical diagnosis showed that most were diagnosed with breast cancer in women aged 50 years or more in some, even so, the probability is only 2% to 4%. However, the sample survey, the majority of young women believe that their chances of breast cancer up to 13%, indicating that young women a high degree of fear of breast cancer, but it does not be.

Second point: breast cancer and breast disease are two different things, not all breast abnormalities are cancer, and that different types of breast cancer, can not be generalized. Studies have shown that malignant breast (breast) tumors are not a lot of small malignant cells in the volume when adjusting the light through the breast examination was found, most of the other "cancer" are growing very slowly, even if not years of diagnosis is not be fatal, if found early can also be cured. Breast hyperplasia, breast cancer although the possibility of mass, but by medicine (drug therapy) or surgery (lumpectomy) method can also be treated.

Point three: Do not some of the drugs, especially drugs too trusting of new products, to know that any drug has side effects. Since last April, nearly half of a potentially dangerous breast cancer is very trust American women had just developed a new drug Tai Moxi phenol (tentative translation), confirmed the clinical treatment of the drug is indeed the prevention and treatment of breast cancer in the positive effect. U.S. National Cancer Institute, Dr. Leslie Ford, a preliminary estimate of this drug is: if there are 1000 potentially dangerous breast cancer for women over 50 years of age 5 years using this medicine will be able to achieve about 520 The purpose of the prevention of breast cancer, but will also have 360 ​​people may suffer from uterine cancer and 330 people may be suffering from blood diseases or stroke.

Point four: a yearly breast examination is in the transfer line of choice for prevention of elderly women. Medical experts suggest that in the past, every year or two older women do a breast X-ray examination is sufficient, but some recent studies of breast cancer experts recommend: If your age is over 50 years of age and worried about breast cancer, then Breast is best done once every year, X-ray examination, at least every other year rather than wait longer.

Point five: be careful to treat the whole breast surgery for breast cancer, breast lumpectomy is your best choice. National Cancer Research Center, experts believe that, for breast cancer, breast lumpectomy line radiotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer is superior to the full mastectomy, because the removal of all breast cancer is not completely reject the body, even the most advanced surgery can not eradicate cancer, Moreover, the majority of women on the whole breast removed not just a physical fight, but also a psychological burden.

View VI: genes are not judgments. We all know the role of genes in the genetic, but is able to determine if your mother is suffering from breast cancer, you will also suffer from it? May be able to, but perhaps not. Studies show that breast cancer will depend on the human body acquired the evolution of breast cancer gene, so even if you carry the mother's breast cancer gene, breast cancer will not necessarily Moreover, breast cancer gene itself is an easy perceptual gene, which is not necessarily the result of the evolution of cancer. I believe you will not be afraid to bring their own breast cancer gene and susceptibility to breast cancer mastectomy immediately, and that the only way to insurance.

For breast, more care, less pain

Breast cancer, the enemy of healthy women

Q: trends in breast cancer incidence of this disease is like?

A: 120 million women worldwide each year suffer from breast cancer and 500,000 women die from this cancer. North America, Western Europe is the high incidence of breast cancer, the incidence of the United States about 10 million people in 110.4 patient. In China, the incidence of breast cancer to a rate of 3% per year, some cities in economically developed breast cancer incidence has risen to the first female cancer, the incidence of breast cancer in women in Shanghai has reached 10 million About 50 patients.

Q: What are the early symptoms of breast cancer? How to detect and treat?

A: Compared with other malignancies, due to the growth of breast cancer is the organ in the human superficial tumors, easy to be found early, therefore regular screening every year can not be omitted, especially after a 30-year-old woman or a high risk of breast cancer.

The current data show that breast self-examination can reduce breast cancer mortality, through regular breast ultrasound photos and molybdenum to early detection of breast cancer, early treatment, thereby reducing breast cancer recurrence and mortality.

Breast cancer, who favored

Q: What kind of people susceptible to breast cancer? Breast cancer patients affected by genetic great?

A: age of first pregnancy more than 30 years of age and nulliparous women, women for women; eating too much animal fat, overweight postmenopausal women; risk of certain chronic breast disease (such as atypical ductal hyperplasia, papillary like Liu Bing, etc.); menarche before the age of 12 years of age or before menopause in women 55 years of age are more susceptible to breast cancer. Long-term use of estrogen to control menopausal symptoms in women, the risk of breast cancer many years will increase.

In addition, family history of cancer, especially his parents or sister had breast cancer patients, the possibility of breast cancer than other people's congress about 30%.

Breast cancer, where the trap

Q: hyperplasia of breast cancer will be converted into, right?

A: Mammary hyperplasia and degradation are the physiological changes in women of childbearing age cyclical phenomenon, in which very few atypical hyperplasia associated with increased 2 to 3 times the risk of breast cancer; not associated with atypical hyperplasia will not increase the risk of breast cancer risk.

Q: childbirth and breastfeeding and breast cancer related to it?

A: single women, or older than 40 years old unmarried, not pregnant or of childbearing age first child more than 30 years of age, the incidence of breast cancer was significantly higher than normal marriage and childbearing women. First child before the age of 25 full-term producer, the incidence rate of breast after the first child for the 30-year-old full-term producer of 1 / 3. Although the birth, but not breast-feeding, or breast-feeding time is short, or only one side of the breast with breast-feeding women may also be the occurrence of breast cancer patients will have an impact. Therefore, the right of women after childbirth breast feeding can maintain patency, the incidence of breast cancer patients have a preventive effect. Rarely or never breast-feeding, such as breastfeeding. The risk of breast cancer increased significantly.

Q: using breast products will lead to breast cancer?

A: If you use the Breast products containing estrogen, it may increase the risk of breast cancer.

Q: breast plump women is higher than estrogen, and that they are also susceptible to breast cancer?

A: There is no evidence of breast fullness and the level of estrogen. However, if the breast fullness, then small lesions within the breast is not easy to find, so we must be checked regularly.

Experience of breast cancer, how do we break through

Q: Which of the commonly used breast cancer treatment?

A: Currently, treatment of breast cancer has made substantial progress, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy has been tied into the efficacy of treatment of breast cancer does have four means.

In recent years has also been a targeted therapy drug, has brought to cancer patients new hope. Conventional chemotherapy in the inhibition of tumor cell killing, when is also toxic to normal cells, it is not selective. However, different targeted therapy, it is more targeted, more selective, it can replace the expansion of cancer genes, to kill breast cancer recurrence and metastasis likely pathogenic strain, almost no damage to normal cells, can effectively improve the treatment outcome the patient's adverse reaction is very small, therefore, is a good way to overcome cancer.

Q: Recently the European Commission approved the trastuzumab treatment of early HER2-positive breast cancer, the application of the drug in our country about how effective?

A: HER2 is a cross the cell membrane of human epidermal growth factor receptor proto-oncogene, as its structure, reproduction rate, or expression level changes, may have carcinogenic effects. In human breast cancer, about 20% to 30% showed overexpression of HER2, HER2 overexpressing breast cancer to conventional chemotherapy programs (such as CMF and other drugs) is not sensitive, and may be resistant to tamoxifen. Anti-HER2 targeted therapy Herceptin as a drug, significantly inhibited tumor cell proliferation. In the clinical setting, Herceptin as adjuvant therapy to directly reduce tumor metastasis and recurrence, and further extend the survival of patients with breast cancer. Currently, Herceptin has been listed in China, despite its expensive, but no other drugs of its advantages can be replaced by clinicians and patients of all ages.

Q: breast cancer surgery and postoperative chemotherapy, the cost of how much the general?

A: The cost of breast cancer surgery is 2 million. However, the cost of the comprehensive treatment and breast cancer staging. Treated by surgery alone in early breast cancer can be, and the cost of chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer is different from the total cost of a few thousand dollars to several million have chemotherapy. In short, the emphasis on individual treatment.

Q: How old is generally the incidence of breast cancer? Young women may be sick it? Incidence of Chinese women and foreign What is the difference?

A: peak incidence of breast cancer in different Western countries and China, only one peak of incidence in Western countries, breast cancer incidence increases with age increased; In China there are two incidence peaks, one is 40 to 50 years old, the other 60 years of age. In this age of older women to maintain a higher vigilance. Especially in late postmenopausal women, menopause was postponed for one year breast cancer risk increased by 50%. Young women suffering from breast cancer, while not high, but often develop rapidly, it can not be taken lightly.

TIPS: trastuzumab (Herceptin) of small files

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is an HER2 monoclonal antibody combination can accurately identify the expression of HER2 in tumor cells through inhibition of the body or kill a variety of tumor cells. The drug was approved in 1998 by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of breast cancer, in combination with chemotherapy after surgery or alone to prevent breast cancer recurrence or spread.

North America for HER2-positive breast cancer, two clinical degree of experience, patients receiving doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy in a year's time, Herceptin combined with chemotherapy group and the simplistic Duo group, breast cancer reduce the risk of recurrence by 52%, 33% lower risk of death.

Breast Cancer: Should be alert in menopause!

When women enter menopause, the physiological changes from the mature to the recession, all organs are gradually fading, many diseases will quietly hit. Known as "killer roots" of breast cancer, age of onset from the age of 20, the incidence rise with age, to menopause, the first peak occurs after menopause are still rising.

Why do menopausal women prone to breast cancer

Menopausal women prone to breast cancer due to a physiological and psychological aspects.

From the physiological point of view, for four reasons: the breast is a target organ of sex hormones, endocrine influenced by women after menopause, ovarian dysfunction or disappear, endocrine disorder, can lead to a variety of breast disease; two post-menopausal breast tissue atrophy, fibrous or fatty tissue there, easily lead to breast disease; three menopausal women prone to body fat, metabolic disorders, too much fat causes increased synthesis of estrogen and prolactin, stimulate breast tissue, leading to breast cancer; four-menopausal women, the body declining immunity, to the incidence of breast cancer an opportunity to exploit.

From the psychological factor, menopausal women Piqijizao, irritability, emotional stress, depression, frequent insomnia, headaches and other symptoms. Study found that when people depression, emotional upset, it will promote the secretion of excess hormones in the blood T lymphocytes was significantly reduced, decreased immune function. TCM also believes that a long period of melancholy air and blood stasis due to the women. Results and risk of breast cancer.

Early signs of breast cancer

Areola area eczema-like lesions: the darker skin around the nipple called the areola region. Areola area with eczema-like lesions or erosions, ulceration and prolonged unhealed and other symptoms, early signs of breast cancer.

Nipple discharge: automatic squeeze out of the nipple or nipple discharge bloody or yellow water, mucus, etc., suggesting that damage to the breast tissue of breast cancer lesions.

Strange nipple: Some breast cancer patients showed only inverted nipples or nipple elevation, deviation.

Orange-like lesions: if the orange peel-like skin, breast area change (uneven, with small dents and bumps), also revealed the presence of breast cancer.

Breast mass: There is an isolated, hard, ill-defined or rugged mass often signs of breast cancer.

9 unscientific argument about "breast cancer"

High incidence of urban women with breast cancer is a common factor in delayed marriage and childbearing, fewer number of births, shorter feeding time, and fast disturbance of city life, which are endocrine disorder, induced breast cancer.

Breast cancer is a genetic disease? Wrong

Pathogenesis of breast cancer is still not clear. However, scientists have already identified two genes associated with breast cancer: BRCA1 and BRCA2. The two genes mutated women, 40% to 80% of the risk of breast cancer, but another 20-60% medical records can not be explained by genes, 80% of breast cancer, and there is no clear family history records. So, even if you have a family history of breast cancer is not, and never be taken lightly. Meanwhile, those who have a family history of women, should be more close attention to their breasts.

Breast cancer is the first cancer killer of women? Wrong

Not the cause of female cancer deaths in most of the cancer, but it is the highest incidence of female cancer. According to the American Cancer Society data, in the United States, breast cancer incidence rate is about 111/10 million. China is a traditional low-incidence areas of breast cancer, according to the National Cancer Research Office of the Yangling Deng's study, in 2005, female breast cancer incidence rate of 24.8/10 million, ranking first in various types of cancer and lead to 48,164 people death. Even more frightening is that from 2000 to 2005, the number of breast cancer increased by 38.5%, and the momentum rapidly.

Use antiperspirants can cause breast cancer? Wrong

There is no evidence that the use of underarm antiperspirants or reduce the secretion of sweat glands can lead to increased incidence of breast cancer. This statement may be derived from people's lack of anatomical knowledge, or from the mouth of some unhealthy skeptic.

Breast cancer is the disease women? Wrong

While most men is concerned, only the breast to give him trouble is the fault of a transient adolescent breast hyperplasia (I believe that many men have had the same experience.) However, according to some studies, the incidence of male breast cancer is about (0.85 ~ 1.30) / 10 million. Because male breast fat tissue less likely violation of the subcutaneous lymphatic cancer network, so the fatality rate is very high, the United States in 2005, 460 men died from breast cancer. So fellow men must not be taken lightly on the breast changes.

Taking birth control pills can cause breast cancer? Wrong

Numerous studies (such as Marchbanks2002 published in the "New England Journal of Medicine," the survey) indicate that oral contraceptives do not increase the likelihood of women suffering from breast cancer, but a family history of breast cancer risk women should pay attention to a slight increase. Modern oral contraceptives contain only very low doses of hormones, and women taking oral contraceptives contribute to conditioning the menstrual cycle, ovarian cancer and reduce the incidence of endometrial cancer, reduce osteoporosis symptoms. As with any other drugs, oral contraceptives, we all have to appropriate the advantages and disadvantages.

High fat diet can lead to breast cancer? Wrong

Several large studies have not shown increased incidence of high fat diet and breast cancer a clear link between. However, refused to high-fat food is indeed a wise choice, especially if you already overweight. Indeed, obesity can increase the incidence of breast cancer because fat tissue also secrete estrogen, excess body fat increases estrogen levels, which is a risk factor for breast cancer.

Breast self-test is the most effective way for early diagnosis? Wrong

Breast X-ray examination, especially for recent mammography camera inspection is the most reliable means of early diagnosis of breast cancer. Fingers can sense the 1.5 cm size of the tumor, while the X-ray can be found less than 0.5 cm of the tumor and determine its properties. For breast self, can not exaggerate its effect. Guide to the U.S. early diagnosis of cancer from 2005 onwards will no longer recommend breast self as a method of early diagnosis of breast cancer. Experts recommend women over 35 years of age, should be conducted every 18 months, a professional breast examination, including X-ray inspection and palpation of professional doctors. The busy life of those who have family history and hypertension in women, experts suggest starting from the age of 30.

Is equal to mastectomy in breast cancer treatment? Wrong

Variety of breast cancer treatment, more than half of the patients received breast-conserving treatment can be, even if the removal of the breast need not necessarily require total removal of the breasts, and now have a lot to preserve the appearance of the breast with surgery, which can largely reduce the mental patients pressure.

Diagnosis of breast cancer equivalent to the death sentence? Wrong

80% no transfer of medical records of breast cancer diagnosis, these patients up to 80% survival rate five years, a number of high quality of life after treatment for many years. Even those who have metastatic breast cancer patients can continue to live a long time. In particular the treatment of breast cancer with each passing day, as long as soon as possible to find that breast cancer does not mean the end of life.

Sex after breast cancer surgery

Sex after breast cancer can do? Sex will not conducive to the rehabilitation of ill and it? When surgery can begin after the resumption of sexual life? In the clinic, patients often ask these questions. In the reader's letters, phone calls are also frequently referred to such problems, we can see, this is a risk of breast cancer patients and their families are concerned about.

Case

Ms. Wang, 38 years old, has always been in good health. Have a bath, I stumbled across the left breast lump, immediately to the Cancer Hospital for treatment. Hospital doctors recommend surgery. Frozen section on the operating table confirmed breast cancer, made a radical operation. Recovered fairly quickly after chemotherapy, more than three months after surgery and would like to exchange feelings with her husband, can over and over again to others, had breast cancer if the same room, it will immediately die, so very scared, and very painful two consecutive to out-patient consultation, to oral sedation to no avail. Finally, doctors told her that sex abroad is reported recovery after surgery and breast cancer rates and no connection to their suffering might as well not to believe such a baseless legend. After the follow-up, the patient condition did not increase.

Ms. Zhang, 49 years old, usually physical health, gynecology unit of a particular time of the census found in the left side of the chest with a mass, the latter to the Cancer Hospital for further examination, biopsy confirmed breast cancer. Not recover after six months of life, fear of sex will make breast cancer recurrence. Also started a more harmonious relationship between husband and wife a few months, six months after her husband becomes irritable temper, and often for some trivial little things like mad. The very fact clearly in mind the same room while her husband was due not to find fault with his wife. The very fact that advice came after maternal and child health hospital could have "married life", when the doctor can clear answer, she resumed sexual life, her husband is no longer angry for no reason, a couple can live in harmony.

Age of onset of breast cancer increased gradually from 30 years of age, the age of 45 to 50 for the peak age of onset of the first. And later rose slowly to 70 to 75 years to peak. The number of incidence of the majority of 45 to 60 years old, accounting for about 55% of the total number of breast cancer patients. Thus, an adult female breast cancer is common disease, a serious threat to the majority of women's health. In Britain, the United States and other developed countries, the incidence of female breast cancer rate has more than 80/10 million people, ranking the first in a variety of malignant tumors. United States each year about 10 million women suffering from breast cancer, which killed 3 million people. New York, every 14 women had had a breast cancer.

The incidence of breast cancer below the world level, but there is an upward trend in recent years. Data report, the incidence of female breast cancer rates in Shanghai more than 20/10 million people. Nanjing in 1984 did a survey and found that the incidence of breast cancer has reached 19.6/10 million people, ranking woman in the first incidence of a variety of malignant tumors.

For women, the breast is not only the secondary sexual characteristics, but also fed the baby's organs, but also the excitement induced organ, is "sensitive area" one. Not only can women get breast sexual stimulation, men can arouse sexual desire. Therefore, after mastectomy, the couple, especially his wife would cause greater psychological pressure. In fact, after breast cancer surgery is completely sex life. In the U.S., there are doctors on sexual behavior in women after mastectomy done a follow-up found that 49% of women within one month after discharge will be restored sexual life; about 33.3% of women 6 months after hospital discharge still not recovered sex life.

And who in restoring sexual life, sexual intercourse, reducing the number of the cross, of which 52% before surgery for women sexual intercourse at least once a month, while in operation during the first three months, only 35% of women can maintain this level. Frequently requested sexual intercourse before surgery, women in general no such desire after surgery (except a few), more than half of women are passively waiting for their husbands sexual demands. After a follow-up found that sexual life does not promote breast cancer recurrence, but generally reflect the requirements of women after surgery reduced.

Reduced after surgery because female sexuality, there are two aspects. One is the body factor, and the other is the psychological factor.

After suffering from breast cancer, either surgery or chemotherapy or radiotherapy, may cause physical weakness, mental fatigue and loss of appetite and so on. In the case of physical condition was poor, typically do not have sexual desire. Psychological factors, the fear of sex will lead to cancer recurrence. Another worry is the fear of psychological requirements put forward their own initiative to make the husband had other plans. In fact this idea even if the physical health of women will have, therefore, in general, women's sexuality often in a passive position.

Speaking from a medical point of view, the appropriate sexual life can promote emotional and happy couple, so that it can improve immune function, the prognosis for breast cancer patients may benefit, on the contrary, will influence their desire to overcome the feelings and emotions to each other. The bad state of mind will be suppressed immune function, so that would bring the residual cancer cell proliferation, increased rates of breast cancer recurrence after surgery. In short, the women after breast cancer is sex, but neither over-indulgence, do not forcibly restrained, it should go with the flow, this is the right attitude.

Risk of breast cancer increased in five type of women

Women the following factors increased the risk of breast cancer:

One. Mother, sister, daughter or two or more close relatives (such as cousins) of breast cancer history (especially their age of onset less)

Five. Although the impact of postpartum lactation on breast cancer is not entirely clear, but recent studies suggest that breastfeeding for a long time, the risk of breast cancer to less. But you must keep in mind: The above refers only to these factors, "breast cancer" risk factors does not mean that these factors will be the women to breast cancer, even if the mother and sisters have a history of breast cancer for women, there are still 3 / 4 did not develop into breast cancer.

Meanwhile, the women without such risk factors can not be said is perfectly safe; most breast cancer patients and no clear family history or other risk factors.

Expert Tip: At present, breast cancer treatment has made substantial progress, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, Chinese medicine treatment, endocrine therapy for breast cancer there has been parallel to the four treatment efficacy. Comprehensive treatment of breast cancer point of view has been accepted by all, but should tell you that the better treatment of breast cancer is not a comprehensive treatment, the more expensive the better, newer the better, but should be based on the patient's specific circumstances, such as stage of disease Sooner or later, metastatic sites, age, whether the menopause, whether by receptor-positive and so the effect of prior treatment repeated as appropriate, scientific and reasonable arrangement, after full consideration of the specification of individual therapy, to minimize recurrence and improve survival, improve the quality of life.

Fish oil can reduce the risk of breast cancer

Fish oil has long been considered beneficial for health, for example, can improve intelligence, but this is the first time it is linked with reduced risk of breast cancer. A recent U.S. study found that fish oil helps protect women from breast cancer the pain. Scientists say that fish oil supplement every day people can reduce the risk of breast cancer by one third.

Seattle research institute study of 35,000 women found that those who regularly fish oil, into the risk of breast cancer 32% lower than others. The center's researchers, contained in supplements of omega -3 fatty acids, can reduce the risk of the risk of some of the most common diseases, such as invasive ductal breast cancer.

Harvard School of Public Health professor of nutrition and epidemiology, said Edward: "to the conclusion of a study alone, advising people what to do, this is very rare." Harvard University scientists are now trying to determine whether fish oil to reduce cancer, heart disease and stroke risk. Earlier this year, scientists at the University of California San Francisco found that prolonged cell life span of fish oil have a direct impact, this substance been regarded as "the elixir of life." UK Food Standards Agency advised consumers to eat at least a week more than oily fish.

The tumor growth associated with the breast duct, the United Kingdom each year are diagnosed 45,000 breast cancer patients, as many as 80% of people suffering from invasive ductal breast cancer. The study leader Dr. Emily White, said: "This may be because fish oil supplements contain omega -3 years than most people get from the daily diet of this material more. In the study did not confirmed, we can not conclude on causality. "

Sunlight can prevent breast cancer

Newport News, Virginia United States city of Grant report, breast cancer and eating more animal fat, whereas the sun exposure on breast cancer prevention.

Grant in the 1989-1996 study in North America, South America, Asia and Europe 35 countries, food supply data, these data reflect only a country's food supply, does not reflect the different groups of food intake. Grant under the country's latitude, the sun's ultraviolet B irradiation estimated the situation.

The results show that animal food (eg meat) diet increases the high risk of breast cancer, and rich in vegetables, fruits, cereals and fish diet can reduce breast cancer risk. The reason why animal foods increase risk of breast cancer because they contain more insulin-like growth factor 1 and estrogen; vegetables contain antioxidants and phytoestrogens, which can reduce the risk of breast cancer. Alcohol can adjust the effect of estrogen on the breast. By vitamin D and fish ω-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Previous studies also found that a country's total fat intake and breast cancer incidence in the country concerned. Grant said the fat intake and breast cancer may reflect the relationship between diet high in animal foods and wine, and low plant food diet and the impact of fish.

However, Thun pointed out that the assessment of dietary factors on breast cancer is often not found in fat intake are risk factors, other studies are exploring other dietary factors other than fat role, such as the B vitamins folic acid is the role of the prevention of breast cancer, and exercise whether breast cancer prevention. American Cancer Society researchers believe that certain foods increase the risk of breast cancer, or reduce the risk of breast cancer is far from clear.

As for the role of the sun, Grant found that latitude and breast cancer, suggesting that more UV-B radiation on breast cancer prevention. UV-B can increase the synthesis of vitamin D, Grant believes that vitamin D and sun exposure preventive effects. Some studies suggest vitamin D has anti-cancer effect.

Thun noted the northeastern United States a higher incidence of breast cancer, and lower incidence of the southwest, some people think that sunlight and vitamin D role. However, Thun said: "The possible role of the sun never clear, we know that ultraviolet rays can cause skin cancer." There are other sources of vitamin D, such as fish and fortified milk. Grant reported the Nordic countries in winter higher levels of blood vitamin D, where consumption of fish may be the main source for vitamin D.

Beware of women's health "the first killer"

Incidence of breast cancer since the late 20th century, 70 has been rising, even though China is not a country of high incidence of breast cancer, but the growth rate of breast cancer was higher than in Western countries with a high 1-2 percent. According to census from 2000 to 2005, the number of breast cancer new cases and 38.5%. Only breast cancer patients treated in our hospital statistics, for example, in 2001 -2004 about breast cancer surgery each year 100 to 140 units in 2005 after the annual growth rate of about 100 in 2008, has reached more than 450 units.

Breast cancer is the occurrence of glandular tissue in breast cancer, 99% in women, male breast cancer accounts for about 1%. 30-year-old women in our country the incidence of breast cancer began to rise with increasing age, mostly in high-risk age 40 to 50 years old, 5-10 years after menopause also appear a small peak.

Cause of breast cancer has not yet entirely clear, but many factors are known to be closely associated with breast cancer. Such as genetic factors, in general, with the mother, and if someone in maternal risk of breast cancer, then the next generation of risk of breast cancer 10% higher than normal; reproductive factors, including age of menarche (postponed 1 year 20% reduction in risk ), menopause (increased risk of delayed 1 year 3%), menstrual cycle (20-39 year old female shorter risk period), senior citizens, single, married without a child, no breast-feeding after giving birth, etc.; the same time with sex hormone levels; nutritional factors such as fat and high calorie food intake, long-term excessive alcohol consumption; or exposure to excessive radiation, and type Ⅱ diabetes are likely to cause breast cancer.

Aqua regia that prevention of breast cancer has become a major public health problem worldwide, so the breast cancer disease "early prevention, early detection and early treatment" would seem particularly important. In his many admissions in the youngest patients with breast cancer only 17 years old. The 17-year-old female patient is a high one, because of his chest, touched the lump taken to hospital by their parents, the examination revealed that the smaller the breast skin of patients have emerged, "orange peel" organization, and has touched to the tumor tissue requires immediate surgery. After biopsy to confirm this were indeed a small breast cancer patients, tumor had 7 cm, but unfortunately discovered too late, post-operative cancer patients had a small transfer of other organs, and soon after died.

Like this is when the discovery of the late and regret, and a minority of patients can not be cured, he called, the majority of women should strengthen the care of their breasts, each woman should learn to "Trilogy of breast self-examination", while adult females to the regular hospital for a year should be a mammogram. Such as X-ray mammography, ultrasound, cell / tissue biopsy examination, can help doctors and patients early detection of cancer tissue or cells. Early detection of breast cancer can not only heal, but also "Conservative" (without the removal of the breast), save medical costs not only greatly reduce the suffering of patients can improve quality of life. The most important thing of course, should maintain a healthy lifestyle, so that a balanced diet, adequate exercise, hormone drugs with caution, maintain a positive and happy mood, marriage and childbearing age breast-feeding, to avoid abortion.

Step two: "touch," according to the Subclavian on, down to the sixth rib, the lateral of anterior axillary line, the order of the medial side near the sternum, the three fingers close together, check with the pulp until the entire breast nipple. Finger can not check out the skin, the force should be uniform, as the fingers can grasp the intensity of contact pressure to the ribs better.

The third step: "twist" in check through the breast, the use of index finger, middle finger and thumb and squeeze the nipple gently bring about, look carefully at whether the discharge. If any discharge, should go to the hospital for further checks. Finally, check whether the abnormal axillary.

Dietary strategies during chemotherapy in breast cancer

Conventional wisdom is that the proliferation of breast cancer by a certain order of time and distance, and recent biological studies show that breast cancer cell division from a single 1cm in diameter the size of mass reproduction, growth, more than 3 years at least, to the systemic hematogenous provide enough time, so systemic treatment is more and more attention. Before and after surgery systemic chemotherapy to kill subclinical metastases is to improve the treatment effect, increase the survival rate of more mature treatment. In particular, cases of axillary lymph node metastases, the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery is more apparent. Although the exact effect of chemotherapy has been fully confirmed, but because of the many side effects of chemotherapy, such as gastrointestinal reactions (nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea), myelosuppression (neutropenia, decreased red blood cells, thrombocytopenia) , gastrointestinal mucosal ulceration, hair loss, abnormal liver and kidney function, in part because patients can not tolerate the interruption of treatment.

How to better guide patients through chemotherapy steady increase efficacy?

In addition to psychological counseling, the diet can also play a guiding role. Guangdong Province, she has the unique food culture, the daily diet has many Taboo, always in consultation with the clinician: "I can eat anything, can not eat?" In fact, tumor patients, traditional Chinese medicine theory that "there is the stomach gas is raw, no Stomach is dead, "Wei Qi's performance is very important" can not eat. " So patients during chemotherapy is in the common pale mouth, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and even can not eat during this period need not have too many taboos, can let go of the fetters of bondage past, grasp the following principles "do not eat old deterioration or irritating things, eating smoked, grilled, marinated, fried, salty food, the staple food grain with the thickness to ensure the nutritional balance "after not too many taboos, you can eat all you want. Only able to eat according to the amount fed to adhere to the timely completion of chemotherapy, to ensure efficacy of chemotherapy! Here are some little knowledge on the diet, I hope she has the appetite for increased help.

(1) the replacement of recipes, cooking methods change: A new food can promote appetite, such as patients who eat pork can replace food fish, lamb, chicken, etc., can eat some conditional turtle, turtle. Changing the cooking of food has a different color, flavor, can also increase appetite. But no matter what kind of food, cooking food must reach the degree of comparison Shulan before they can successfully digest and absorb. At the same time more difficult to digest meat, add more ginger when cooking dried tangerine peel, etc. in order to facilitate and promote digestion and appetite.

(2) Diet appetizers spleen: ① diced Hawthorn: Hawthorn 100g, lean pork (or beef) meat 1000g, vegetable oil 250g, and shiitake mushrooms, ginger, onion, pepper, cooking wine, monosodium glutamate, the amount of sugar. First lean meat cut into pieces, fried too, and then thoroughly dry out Hawthorn skull and other spices, you can eat. Cancer can be either an appetizer. ② Astragalus yam soup: astragalus 30g, plus boiled for half an hour, to the residue, add Huai tablets 60g (Yam suitably washed into the salt water soak food), cook for 30 minutes, add sugar (constipation and honey) Serve. Daily morning and at night 1. With Qi and blood circulation, increase appetite, enhance the role of gastrointestinal absorption.

(3) Eat high vitamin content of fresh vegetables and fruits: These foods can not only increase the resistance, but also increase the appetite. Some patients think that should not eat raw, cold foods, but fruits and vegetables, as the case should be treated, light and refreshing to eat some raw mixed with cold dishes and fruits, especially chemotherapy, radiotherapy period, with a clear role of appetizers, but if the Pan-mouth pale saliva were clear, warm clothes should be a little heat, but not over-eating.

(4) during chemotherapy, patients often eat the Hong Kou Zhong Xi taste of food, which often can be ginger fried rice, and even a small amount of pickled vegetables, fermented bean curd, chili and other dishes adorned with a great benefit for the patients to improve appetite, this time, "Rice is a steel" only truly is the last word.

(5) The exchange of food between the experience of patients: patients can not only between the exchange of experience eating each other, but also help increase appetite, which is necessary in patients with cancer. Categories listed below toxicity of chemotherapy and methods of conditioning diet.

Decreased blood meal conditioning

Chemotherapy can cause bone marrow aplasia, particularly in the most obvious decline in white blood cells. Blood for the effective prevention of decline in patients with chemotherapy should be added when the high protein diet, such as milk, soy, lean meat, trotters, sea cucumber, fish, animal liver and red dates, peanuts, walnuts, black fungus, carrot, red bean and so on. Blackfish, beef, animal peptone, such as animal skin glue brewed glue (gelatin), pig skin glue (pork skin peptone), also help to improve the white blood cells. Antler, Placenta, ginseng can also be guided by rational application of traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese make up most attention to the dirty dirty, so during chemotherapy can also increase the amount of animal bone marrow, such as cattle, sheep, pig bone marrow soup, or chicken blood, duck, goose blood, pig production diet. Also can eat some five black foods, such as black sesame, black rice, black beans, black date and so on. TCM believes that "black can into the kidney," five black foods can fill in kidney marrow, contribute to the improvement of blood.

Gastrointestinal toxicity of dietary conditioning

Chemotherapy can cause oral mucositis, expressed as mucosal congestion, edema, ulcers, pain. This time to maintain oral hygiene, brush your teeth after eating, high-nutrient liquid supplement liquid diet, or do, such as Lianzi Geng, gold ear white fungus soup, milk, soy milk, fish soup and so on. Avoid eating hot, too sour and pungent food, acute inflammation of delicious ice quickly to reduce the inflammatory exudate, ulcers can add crushed 20 ml honey, vitamin C0.1 g, mouths, 2 to 4 times a day . Snow lamb can also be a try. Chemical treatment of gastrointestinal mucosal damage can be nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anorexia and so on. Then you can eat appetizers, such as hawthorn, lentils, yam, white radish, mushrooms, etc., while Eat small meals often, avoid a sense of satiety. To eat slowly, do not lie horizontally one hour after a meal, you can distribute, do not eat 1 hour before chemotherapy, the water, such as nausea and vomiting when eating fresh ginger can be taken orally 3 to 5 ml. At this point the soup should not drink too much.

Liver and kidney damage and prevention of dietary conditioning

Some chemotherapy drugs can cause liver damage, transaminase elevation occurs. You should eat bitter gourd, green bean sprouts, tea, mushrooms, Agaricus, morel, Ganoderma, Hericium mushroom Coriolus versicolor and other fungi food (mushrooms and ginger should be cold side, with the use of Qi Zi), eat the rich vitamin fruit, such as the kiwi, peaches, apples, grapes, drink green tea, oolong tea, honey water. Such as severe liver damage, you can use Schisandra 20 grams, 20 grams medlar stewed carp soup. Some chemotherapy drugs can also cause kidney damage, such as cisplatin and so on. Clinically, the use of such drugs to more water, eat fresh vegetables and fruits (alkaline foods). Once renal injury to limit protein intake, combined edema to eat less salt, eat animal kidneys, mullet, spinach and red amaranth, a high water content can also eat some foods have a diuretic effect, such as watermelon, cucumber , wax gourd, loofah, etc..

After breast cancer chemotherapy side effects diet during the

Breast cancer chemotherapy drugs have varying degrees of side effects, they kill the tumor cells while also killing normal tissue cells, especially in the growth and development of strong anti-human blood, lymphoid tissue cells. And organization of these cells are the immune defense system, undermining the body's immune system, cancer may be developing rapidly, causing serious consequences. Although side effects than chemotherapy, radiation light, but most cancer patients receiving radiotherapy only cancer cells will be destroyed, even the human leukocyte also suffered serious damage, reduced immunity, so there lack of energy, loss of appetite, body weakness, fatigue and other symptoms and skin and mucous membrane of the local reaction. Therefore, chemotherapy and radiotherapy for breast cancer patients, improve immunity is the key. Maitake Introduction to Complex cents
