How to treat malignant tumor?

1. Palliative surgery

In order to relieve pain, maintain nutrition and prolong life, the advanced patients with extensive tumors have metastasized and cannot undergo radical surgery, so they can only remove some tumors or perform some operations to relieve symptoms, such as ostomy and short circuit of digestive tract.

2. Chinese medicine treatment

In the treatment of malignant tumor patients, the principles of eliminating pathogenic factors, strengthening the body resistance, softening and resolving hard mass, clearing away heat and toxic materials, resolving phlegm and eliminating dampness, dredging channels and activating collaterals, and fighting poison with poison can play a very good role in the treatment of cancer.

3. Radical surgery

Because of the rapid growth of malignant tumor, there is no capsule on its surface, no obvious boundary with surrounding normal tissues, obvious local infiltration and metastasis through lymphatic vessels. Therefore, the operation should completely remove the tumor and a certain range of normal tissues around it and lymph nodes that may be invaded. This operation is suitable for patients with limited tumor range, no distant metastasis and good health.

4. Biological agent therapy

Tumor biotherapy is a treatment method that uses biological methods to treat tumor patients and improve the body's response, immunity and direct effect on tumors.

5. Exploration surgery

For deep visceral tumors, sometimes when the nature cannot be determined by various tests, it is necessary to open the chest, laparotomy or craniotomy to examine the tumor shape, identify its nature, or cut a small piece of living tissue for quick frozen section examination, and then decide the operation and treatment plan after a clear diagnosis, which belongs to exploratory surgery.

6. Anticancer drug therapy

That is, drugs are used to kill tumors.

7. Preventive surgery

Patients with precancerous lesions, such as familial polyposis coli, can benefit from preventive colectomy, because if these patients do not have their colon removed, about half of them will develop colon cancer after 40 years old, and almost 100% will develop colon cancer after 70 years old.
