Whatever weapons you get, you have to use them.
If you want to retreat, you must know how you lost the first wave of attack and defense.
There are three main types of first-line chemotherapy drugs for digestive tract tumors: fluorouracils, irinotecan and oxaliplatin. Fluorouracils have greater side effects on the heart, and it is not ruled out that this was the reason why Mr. Lu could not withstand the first chemotherapy.
If people in the future hear about serious side effects, they will immediately think of the star targeted drugs that are said to have the lowest side effects.
Targeted drugs have great limitations. There is no particularly effective targeted drug for duodenal cancer or pancreatic cancer. This weapon is so-so. Let's talk about second-line drugs. The firepower of second-line drugs on the attack point of the disease has been proven to be effective by data, unlike the third-line drugs which are Schrodinger's cat.
Xie Wanying gave some advice to the teachers: You can try it.
According to the information she got from the future, the experimental results of this combined second-line drug combination were released. It was confirmed that this drug regimen can significantly inhibit the probability of cancer metastasis for high-risk patients with re-metastasis like Mr. Lu, and greatly improve the quality of life of patients in the later stage. In other words, this weapon cannot kill all enemies but can consume them, making the tumor as small as possible and reducing the pain and paralysis of patients. Even if it also has side effects on the heart, it can still be tried to see if the patient can bear it.
"Where did you hear that data?" Zhang Huayao asked her, his shrewd eyes narrowed into a straight line of shock.
Even a big shot like him had no way of knowing the results of the drug in the experiment. The clinical trial process is double-blind, and no one knows what will happen before the time is up and the results are revealed. How did Xie know?
...
...
"I guessed it," Xie Wanying said. She couldn't say she heard it from the future. The teachers would think she was crazy.
"Guess, what's your guess?"
"The experiment has not been stopped. We are now in phase 3," Xie Wanying said. "And the experiment is being conducted in multiple countries. I haven't heard of any major problems causing the experiment to be stopped. Our focus now should first be on the safety of this drug."
As long as the drug is relatively safe for the patient, it must be tried. The decisive factor in deciding whether to try it is the extent of the patient's condition and whether it is necessary to take a chance. For this reason, she said at the beginning that there is a high probability of bone metastasis, so it must be tried.
Not only that, she also said: "The patient can't eat now. I don't think the patient's weakness after catching a cold will lead to this situation. I personally tend to suspect that the patient may have a local recurrence. Radiotherapy should be added. If the patient cannot withstand the combined therapy, sequential therapy can be adopted."
Sequential therapy and combined therapy can be simply and clearly interpreted from the literal meaning. Combined therapy can be simply understood as two or more therapies used at the same time. Sequential therapy is to use one therapy and then switch to another. The purpose of both methods is to enhance and consolidate the therapeutic effect.
If the patient is in a condition where he cannot withstand the combined firepower attack, he can only use sequential treatment. He can first undergo radiotherapy and then chemotherapy. Or he can switch to combined treatment after his condition improves.
The doctors present looked at her statements.
Zhang Huayao raised the corners of his mouth and nodded his chin slightly, as if he was nodding to indicate something.
When the others saw this, they knew that the sharp-tongued king was not saying that he agreed with her opinion, but that he appreciated her full-force medical strategy.
