In the eyes of many people, there is no god of death in this world, and after cancer appears, it is the god of death!
The word cancer is always tied to pain and death. Indeed, cancer mortality rates on the mainland have remained high for years, with nearly 3 million cancer patients dying in just one year of 2020. Behind these 3 million patients are countless families fragmented and in debt.
In fact, there may be three outcomes in the clinic for cancer treatment. The first is that the patient has a very low-malignant tumor, such as thyroid papillary cancer.
Or there are other organ cancers, but the pathological type is better, belongs to the highly differentiated cancer, and found that cancer in the early stage, through scientific and effective treatment methods, cancer cells are completely eliminated and killed, to achieve clinical cure.
The second is that the degree of cancer malignancy is extremely high, such as pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma or small cell carcinoma of the lung, etc., the patient did not find the disease in the early stage, the first medical examination, has entered the advanced stage, there are many parts of the body there are spread or metastatic cancer foci. In this case, even after treatment and over-medical treatment, the patient will gradually die.
The third, that is, cancer patients live like normal people, coexist with the cancer in the body, clinically called: survival with tumors!
According to statistical surveys, the number of cancer patients in the mainland who have survived for 10-15 years has reached hundreds of thousands, of which some have achieved clinical cure, and some people have survived with tumors. The so-called survival with tumors is not to let the tumor develop and not to carry out medical intervention, but the patient chooses the treatment mode that suits himself!
You know, cancer is not really a terminal disease, it is originally a chronic disease, related to genetic variation. It takes time to go from healthy cells to cancer cells, from cancer cells to carcinoma in situ, from carcinoma in situ to spread cancer. Therefore, we can also think of cancer as a chronic disease similar to the three high diseases, but its malignancy is higher.
The so-called survival with tumors, we can also understand as the control of chronic diseases, although the patient is already sick, but after treatment, the condition gradually stabilizes. This requires patients to choose their own treatment model, psychologically change their cognition of cancer, actively cooperate with doctors for conditioning, and finally achieve tumor-bearing survival.
At this time, the tumor cells in the patient's body still exist, but the cancer cells are dormant or chronically developing, it does not proliferate and spread wildly, the patient's condition is well controlled, and the common symptoms and cachexia of cancer are alleviated, and the patient lives like a normal person, which is what the clinic calls "maintenance treatment".
So far, the way to maintain the better effect of therapy is actually molecular targeted therapy, which is commonly known as targeted drugs.
Of course, it should be emphasized here that it is difficult to achieve tumor-bearing survival, which involves a variety of factors, including the patient's specific disease location, pathological type and stage, patient physical fitness and age.
So far, there are not many patients who have truly achieved tumor survival in mainland china, so everyone should correctly look at cancer treatment and tumor survival, and if you want to defeat cancer, only actively cooperate with doctors.
