Ten kinds of treatment can ease cancer pain

Clinicians and health of the media to tell cancer patients: the rapid development of medicine, medicine continues to progress, and now we have a lot of new cancer drugs, new means of treatment of cancer pain, all kinds of lung cancer, lung cancer has a different treatment strategies and treatment Do not let cancer patients feel no hope. Blind for the medical cancer patients, cancer pain treatment doctor has to do missionary science.

Ten current treatment of cancer pain "means"

The first is surgery. Surgery can be effective treatment for cancer pain, such as lung cancer, metastasis of cancer pain cone, through surgery, removal of lesions cones, cone and fill replacement of artificial bone cement, which can effectively relieve pain and improve quality of life, but also can slow the cancer development, prevention and treatment of bone-related events, such as pathological fracture or paraplegia.

The second is chemotherapy. Most solid tumors can ease the pain through effective chemotherapy, the treatment of advanced cancer was not intended to cure disease, but more is to reduce the tumor cell load, to reduce cancer pain, to ensure patient quality of life. We should believe that chemotherapy drugs can effectively control cancer pain, especially in recent years emerging anti-cancer drugs.

The third is radiotherapy. Pain is no doubt that radiotherapy can be said to be imminent. Now precise radiotherapy techniques, to make radiotherapy more precise positioning, accurate only to the detriment of their pain radiation site, the surrounding healthy tissue from damage. Responsible to tell you: At present, radiation therapy can be done to ensure precise radiotherapy, effective pain relief.

The fourth is the molecular target therapy. A typical cancer is advanced non-small cell carcinoma, advanced non-small cell carcinoma with bone metastasis of cancer pain occurs through effective molecular targeted therapy drugs, the same can effectively ease the pain. Listed in recent years, such as Iressa and Tarceva target molecule drugs can be effective treatment for lung cancer, relieve cancer pain and significantly improve the quality of life in patients with advanced lung cancer.

The fifth is endocrine therapy. The typical cancer is breast cancer, advanced breast cancer a high risk of bone metastasis. Effective treatment of endocrine therapy for primary lesions, the same can also ease the pain.在医生的科学指导下,结合化疗等其他治疗手段,乳腺癌骨转移患者可以获得更长的生存时间和更好的生活质量。

6th is a dual-phosphate drug treatment. Bone pain, bone metastases of lung cancer occurred because of the osteolytic destruction of bone tissue, leading to a series of skeletal-related events, such as bone pain and pathologic fractures. Bisphosphonate drugs slowed osteolysis metabolism, increase bone metabolism process, impede osteolytic bone destruction, bone pain, slow down and avoid fracture. Present. Effective first generation, second generation and third-generation bisphosphonate therapy has made tens of thousands of cancer pain patients have a good quality of life.

Seventh is the pain medication. We emphasize the principle of treatment is "three-step pain." Oral analgesics can be recommended as oral, and graded according to pain, weak or strong oral morphine drugs. Clinical application is currently the most is the slow-release morphine tablets, oral once every 12 hours. Emphasis must be on time and timed delivery. Also have fentanyl patches, clinical application of morphine-type drugs pain relief should pay attention to nausea, vomiting and constipation side effects, give symptomatic treatment.

Physical therapy is the eighth. In addition to radiation therapy, there are radio frequency dissolving, intervention treatment and nerve damage to patients belong to the local physical therapy, frozen and hyperthermia are also part of physical therapy, positive clinical effect of relieving the pain. Means of physical therapy at present, more and more involved in treatment are also getting better. However, active treatment should be emphasized that the original disease, a comprehensive application of the above-mentioned types of treatment methods and drug treatment of cancer pain.

The ninth treatment is traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment and promoting blood circulation Huayu's theory can also ease the pain in recent years, combining Chinese and Western medicine treatment of cancer models have achieved significant clinical results.

The last one is "if treatment" - psychological treatment. Psychotherapy combined with effective means of treatment of cancer pain, for real improvement in quality of life of cancer patients helpful.

We hope that the majority of clinicians to the need to standardize the treatment. The Government, doctors, media and community attention to cancer pain, and actively participate in the National Cancer Awareness Week: Focus on treatment of cancer pain and improve quality of life.

We should tell the community, especially lung and breast cancer, multiple bone metastases occurred after systemic and effective chemo-radiotherapy, targeted therapy, double-phosphate drug treatment and follow three step analgesic principle is to obtain long-term survival, with Cancer survival and good quality of life.
