Where is thymic cancer?

summary

Thymic cancer is a group of invasive epithelial heterogeneous malignant tumors. If patients feel unwell, they should go to the hospital immediately for diagnosis and treatment. It has the characteristics of early local invasion and extensive distant metastasis. Squamous cell carcinoma and lymphoepithelioma like carcinoma are the most common tumor types. Today, let me learn where thymic cancer is?.

Where is thymic cancer?

First, thymic cancer cells with hematogenous metastasis can directly invade blood vessels and cause distant metastasis. The incidence of distant metastasis was related to the size of primary tumor, the number of lymph node metastasis and pathological grade. The most common distant metastasis was lung, followed by bone, pleura, liver, brain and adrenal gland.

Second: lymph node metastasis: axillary lymph node and internal mammary lymph node are the first metastasis of thymic cancer. The rate of axillary lymph node metastasis in thymic cancer patients is very high. Clinical reports show that 50% - 70% of thymic cancer patients have axillary lymph node metastasis. Axillary lymph node metastasis is related to the size of the primary tumor. The larger the tumor volume is, the higher the axillary lymph node metastasis rate is and the more the number of metastasis is.

Third: the treatment of thymic cancer diffusion. At present, the treatment of thymic cancer diffusion is mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine. Patients with advanced thymic cancer have multiple metastases, and local treatment such as surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is not effective, so systemic treatment is more important. At present, most tumor experts recommend the use of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, for advanced thymic cancer treatment effect is not worse than chemotherapy. TCM treatment can improve symptoms and prolong life, enhance the body's disease resistance, delay the survival of patients, and reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy when used together with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

matters needing attention

In addition, the damage of traditional Chinese medicine to healthy cells is relatively small. Generally, it will not cause new damage to physical strength due to the treatment itself. While thymic cancer improves, it can gradually restore the physical strength of patients and gradually enhance their immunity.
