This problem can't be generalized, it depends on many factors such as the patient's age, physique, mentality, pathological stage of breast cancer, whether there is metastasis and the effect of surgery. As long as the risk of recurrence is successfully controlled, patients can have a longer survival period.
Special attention should be paid to the first five years after breast cancer surgery, and the risk of recurrence is the highest in the first three years. Nearly two-thirds of breast cancer recurrence will lead to distant metastasis of breast cancer, which is the biggest cause of breast cancer death. Taking traditional Chinese medicine can greatly reduce the recurrence rate of breast cancer after operation, comprehensively improve the quality of life of patients and prolong their lives.
After breast cancer surgery, patients must have regular check-ups, know their own condition in time, reduce the possibility of recurrence or find recurrence and metastasis early, and prolong their survival time, so that they can live longer after breast cancer surgery.
Many patients can live for more than ten years or even decades if they are properly maintained after treatment.
How to ensure adequate nutrition for breast cancer
Breast cancer patients are generally weak. During chemotherapy, they should increase their intake of protein and sugar, eat less foods with high fat and cholesterol, especially ensure their intake of protein, and eat more lean pork, beef, fish and chicken. Don't eat fried food, eat less pickled food, and don't eat strong spices. Pay attention to diversification in diet, collocation of meat and vegetables, acid-base balance, and color, fragrance and taste of food. Anorexia patients can eat some foods such as hawthorn, kumquat and radish to increase their appetite.
Breast cancer eats more foods containing a lot of anticancer ingredients.
Studies have shown that the following foods have certain preventive and therapeutic effects on breast cancer patients.
1, Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, etc. It contains indole -3- methanol, an anticancer substance, which can prevent carcinogens from inducing tumor cells in vivo and inhibit tumor growth.
2. Bean products such as tofu, soybean sprouts and soybean milk contain a lot of phytoestrogens, which can competitively inhibit the estrogen in the body and play an anti-cancer role.
3. Garlic and onion contain allicin, which can block the synthesis of nitrosamines. At the same time, it contains vitamin C, vitamin A and other ingredients, which can play an anti-cancer role.
4. Asparagus contains histone, which has been proved by experiments to effectively control the growth of breast cancer cells. In addition, kelp, tomatoes, seaweed and other foods contain a lot of anticancer components, which are beneficial to breast cancer patients if they are eaten regularly.
Treatment of breast cancer
With the deepening of the understanding of biological behavior of breast cancer and the transformation and renewal of treatment concept, the treatment of breast cancer has entered the era of comprehensive treatment, forming a treatment model that pays equal attention to regional treatment and systemic treatment of breast cancer. According to the stage of the tumor and the patient's physical condition, the doctor will take various measures as appropriate, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, biological targeted therapy, traditional Chinese medicine adjuvant therapy and so on. Surgery plays an important role in the diagnosis, staging and comprehensive treatment of breast cancer. Radiotherapy is to use radiation to destroy the growth and reproduction of cancer cells, so as to control and eliminate cancer cells. Surgery and radiotherapy belong to regional therapy. Chemotherapy is a treatment method that uses anticancer drugs to inhibit the division of cancer cells and destroy them, referred to as chemotherapy. Endocrine therapy is to regulate the endocrine function of the body and reduce the secretion of endocrine hormones by using drugs or removing endocrine glands, so as to achieve the purpose of treating breast cancer. Molecular targeted therapy is one of the most active research fields in recent years. Compared with chemotherapy drugs, it is a new anti-tumor drug with multi-link mechanism. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the principle of regulating balance in tumor treatment, restoring and enhancing the internal disease resistance of the body, so as to achieve the purpose of treating the balance of yin and yang in tumor. Chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment all belong to systemic therapy. In the course of treatment, doctors will give consideration to regional treatment and systemic treatment of patients, and strive for the cure of early and middle breast cancer patients, and prolong the survival time and improve the quality of life of patients with advanced breast cancer.
Surgery for breast cancer includes breast and axillary lymph nodes. Breast surgery includes conservative surgery, breast-conserving surgery and total resection. Axillary lymph node surgery includes sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary lymph node dissection. Sentinel lymph node biopsy only removes sentinel lymph nodes, and axillary lymph node dissection is performed after sentinel lymph node metastasis is detected. Some people call it axillary-preserving surgery. Breast-conserving surgery has strict surgical indications, and it is impossible to perform breast-conserving surgery on all breast cancer patients at present. For breast cancer patients who are not suitable for breast-conserving surgery, * * * needs to be removed, and doctors can use plastic surgery to reconstruct * * *. * * * Autologous tissue or prosthesis can be used for reconstruction. Reconstruction can be performed at the same time as tumor resection, or after treatment, when the reexamination results are normal. * * * Reconstruction will not affect the overall treatment of breast cancer.
