With the continuous development of the times, cancer seems to have become a "common disease", because people's understanding of cancer has not been correspondingly improved, and sometimes they will fall into various treatment misunderstandings, so that they have accepted the wrong treatment methods, which eventually leads to overtreatment and delays the best treatment time.
There are many misunderstandings in cancer treatment in life, if you are unfortunate enough to enter these misunderstandings, you will waste more human and material resources, and even delay the best treatment time, so in order to achieve the ideal treatment effect, you must pay more attention in peacetime.
Treat cancer, the most afraid of detours! "Chinese anti-cancer" 6 major misunderstandings
Myth 1: Having cancer is tantamount to a death sentence
Most people after hearing the diagnosis of malignant tumors, the first reaction is panic, in people's cognition, cancer is equal to terminal illness, equivalent to the death penalty, with the continuous progress of medical technology, medical scientists for cancer in-depth research, cancer has gradually turned to chronic diseases, has no longer belonged to the incurable disease, cure rate and survival rate is constantly improving.
For example, breast cancer, breast cancer has become one of the major killers of women's health, if found in the early stage, the cure rate of breast cancer is as high as 90%, even in the middle and advanced stages, if you can actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, you may be able to achieve coexistence with cancer, survival of up to 10 years and 20 years.
Myth 2: Chemotherapy only makes patients die faster
Friends who talk about cancer discoloration are more resistant to chemotherapy, especially after hearsay understands the terrible nature of chemotherapy, and believes that chemotherapy will only make patients die faster.
Although chemotherapy can kill cancer cells, it will also cause certain lethality to normal and healthy cells, so after chemotherapy, most patients will have nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, hair loss and a series of side effects.
However, with the continuous advancement of medical technology, the improvement of chemotherapy drugs, their safety and efficacy have been effectively improved, so we should not look at chemotherapy with an extreme eye, and cancer patients do not need to worry too much about immunotherapy therapies such as chemotherapy.
Myth three: Anyway, it is a terminal illness, don't cure it!
Some patients are more concerned about health, especially when the body has a disease, they will take the initiative to learn some knowledge, especially about cancer, thinking that this is an incurable disease, a waste of financial and material resources, so simply do not treat.
Although cancer ranks first in the list of all diseases, it appears because people ignore some small symptoms, there is no early detection, and when it is found, it is already in the middle and advanced stages, and even 30% of patients are scared to death by the disease due to insufficient psychological quality.
Myth #4: Only believe in surgery
There are some cancer patients who think that there is no big problem with the body after surgical resection, and they no longer receive chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted drug treatment in the later stage, but the way of surgery can not completely cure the tumor, some malignant tumors will spread with the lymphatic blood throughout the body, relying solely on surgical resection, there is no way to completely kill cancer cells.
Myth five: Pay attention to diet to prevent cancer
In life, people think that eating more food can effectively prevent diseases, such as green onions and garlic, but we must understand that there are many causes of cancer, and even may be caused by other diseases, but we just don't know.
If you unilaterally rely on food to treat cancer, it will not only lead to nutritional imbalances, but even destroy the immune system and induce more diseases.
Myth six: Advanced cancer is not cured
Some people feel that the cancer is already in an advanced stage, there is no need to receive treatment, even if it is treated, it does not have much effect, in fact, this idea is wrong.
Regarding the late treatment of advanced cancer, mainly to improve the patient's symptoms in the later stage, control the development of the disease, improve the quality of life, the doctor will develop an individualized treatment plan according to different ages, conditions, and economic conditions, although there will be side effects, the life cycle will be extended.
