With the development of the times and the progress of society, medical technology is becoming more and more advanced, and even cancers that have not been treated before have surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted drugs or interventional treatments to help patients destroy cancer cells as much as possible and prolong their survival time.
Among them, interventional therapy is a treatment method that is more suitable for patients with advanced cancer, and most patients do not know much about it and do not know whether interventional therapy is good for cancer.
Interventional therapy is mainly suitable for some patients whose disease has progressed to the advanced stage of cancer cells that have spread and metastasized, or whose body is relatively weak and no longer suitable for surgical treatment.
During the operation of this treatment, the doctor will insert a tiny catheter into the patient's tumor blood vessels under image monitoring, and inject a relatively high concentration of anti-cancer drugs to kill the cancer cells or inhibit their development and deterioration, or freeze the cancer cells to death through argon-helium freezing technology to achieve the purpose of treating cancer.
Interventional therapy has four prominent advantages:
First, the trauma is small
Unlike traditional surgery, which requires an incision of a large wound for treatment, an excessively large surgical opening requires careful care. If the wound is not properly cared for, the wound will be infected by bacteria, which will increase the patient's pain, and the patient's recovery time will be relatively long, and the patient will need to wait until he is in bed for three days before he can slowly get up and move.
Interventional treatment only needs to cut 1 to 2 mm of wound, will not leave too large scar, the patient's recovery time is relatively fast, basically half an hour later, you can get up and move on your own, about eight hours can return to the state before the operation, and will not affect the patient's daily life, whether it is older or younger patients are more applicable.
Second, high accuracy
Because interventional therapy is mainly carried out under the monitoring of imaging, the doctor can accurately observe the specific location of the tumor grown by the patient, which can reduce the deviation of the surgical inclement, and can be successfully treated as long as the tumor site is located, helping the patient to achieve a better curative effect.
3. Minor side effects
Interventional therapy can directly use high-dose anti-cancer drugs to treat cancer cells, so the patient's liver, kidneys, stomach and intestines will not be damaged too much, and the patient will not have side effects such as hair loss, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting after receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and interventional therapy will not cause obvious complications to the patient, and the physical harm to the patient is very small.
Fourth, the effect is obvious
When cancer patients receive interventional therapy, the biggest feeling is that there is no need to do surgery, injections and medicines, the organs and tissues of the human body will not be damaged too much, and the tumor cells can be destroyed in a targeted manner, reducing the risk of tumor cell spread and metastasis, and the treatment effect is also relatively obvious.
In summary, interventional therapy is a better treatment for many patients, and has obvious therapeutic effects on many types of cancer, such as liver cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, etc.
Therefore, cancer is no longer a drug-free and controllable disease, and any cancer patient should actively face the condition, cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and strengthen their own recuperation and care, so as to help themselves improve their condition, improve their quality of life, and prolong their survival cycle.
