How to treat leucopenia after chemotherapy

summary

Now we should understand this disease. White blood cells are indispensable and important cells of the human body. They are the defense force of the human body. They can directly eliminate the invading microorganisms. In general, white blood cells will rise when exogenous pathogens invade, which is the normal response of the body, indicating the body's ability to mobilize the immune system to defend against invasion. If the white blood cells in the body decrease and lose the "defense line" of white blood cells, it will not be able to resist the external pathogenic factors, and it is very easy to cause infection, such as oral ulcer and sepsis. How to treat leucopenia after chemotherapy.

How to treat leucopenia after chemotherapy

First, radiotherapy and chemotherapy should not be used as a double-edged sword. The main purpose of using radiotherapy and chemotherapy drugs is to eliminate tumor cells. However, it is a pity that they are "friends and foes alike" and inevitably have toxic effects on normal cells. Therefore, in most cases, radiotherapy and chemotherapy will cause a series of injuries, including leukopenia, as well as thrombocytopenia, organ damage and so on. Due to the initial onset of cancer, a very small number of patients have strong resistance, high hematopoietic capacity of bone marrow and transient leukopenia.

Second: in the past, it was advocated to use sufficient dose and cycle of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which should be limited to the tolerance of patients; but now, it seems that this practice is not desirable, and the minimum dose of effective tumor inhibition is more and more important. The indications of radiotherapy and chemotherapy began to be standardized, and the patients' physical quality, cancer types and development stages were the key points to be considered. At present, due to the interests of the drive, unreasonable requirements of patients, the uneven level of doctors, there is a growing tendency of excessive radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which committed the taboo of "overwhelming". Compared with the body's own disease resistance ability, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can only be subordinate. Excessive radiotherapy and chemotherapy will seriously reduce the body's ability to resist external pathogens, which has a great negative effect on the quality of life and survival time of patients.

Third: after years of research, the standard radiation range of radiotherapy is becoming more and more limited, the cycle of chemotherapy is also showing a trend of shortening, and great progress has been made in reducing toxicity and increasing efficiency. At the same time, we have also carried out the work of "zero toxicity chemotherapy" of traditional Chinese medicine. "Zero toxicity chemotherapy" is an image saying, which means that it achieves the effect of conventional chemotherapy, but does not have the toxic and side effects of general chemotherapy.

matters needing attention

It is better to intervene in advance than to remedy afterwards. Prevention before disease is the advanced idea. We advocate all-round conditioning before, during and after radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
