My aunt got lung cancer after examination. She has a broad mind, so any disease is nothing to her. Maybe she is afraid of her family. Now she has been carrying out treatment, and the effect is OK. Let's share the price of targeted drugs for lung cancer with you.

Price of targeted drugs for lung cancer

First: what is targeted therapy? What's the difference between chemotherapy and targeted therapy? Targeted therapy is a drug therapy that acts on new sites for traditional chemotherapy. In fact, both chemotherapy and targeted therapy are drug therapy. Chemotherapy acts on various sites in cells, such as the time of mitosis in each cell is different. But now on the road of chemotherapy, the original cytotoxic drugs have come to the bottleneck, and it is very difficult to go up again. Many new drugs have not come out. In fact, tumor growth is not only a process of mitosis in cells, but also other processes, such as angiogenesis around cells, the impact of changes in the environment around cells on tumors. Malignant tumors need to start and signal transduction to cause infinite proliferation process. If this signal transduction is blocked, cell proliferation can be prevented. The drugs developed for these targets are now relatively hot targeted drugs.

Second: how to determine the course of targeted therapy for lung cancer? Some of the targeted drugs are domestic and imported. There is a big price difference between the two. You can ask the attending doctor to see if there are domestic targeted drugs. At present, the traditional targeted therapy is represented by one tablet of Iressa, Troika and Kemena a day. Its process is to take one month to see the curative effect and whether the tumor has increased. If the tumor has grown up in one month, we think this drug is ineffective. For patients with tumor growth and tumor shrinkage, we advocate taking it until the tumor has progressed. There are also antiangiogenic drugs combined with chemotherapy. As long as chemotherapy is done, it will be used at the same time. When chemotherapy is stopped for a certain period, economic conditions permit, and there are no intolerable side effects. Once a month, it is used for disease progression, which is called maintenance treatment.

Third: what are the common side effects of targeted therapy? The main side effects are rash, diarrhea and itching. But there is no special treatment for these problems. Dermatology wipe some ointment with hormone antibiotics, if it is difficult to tolerate the need to stop the drug, we first stop the drug before one day to take a look at the next day, this is no way. In fact, we do not advocate this, and we are not willing to let patients stop taking drugs. After all, lung cancer is fatal, and we are still willing to give drugs in sufficient doses and for a full course of treatment. In fact, there are very few patients who stop taking the drug because they can't tolerate the side effects, which may be about 3% - 5%.

matters needing attention

The price of targeted drugs is relatively high. Radical resection is the first choice for lung cancer metastasis. Radical resection is the only treatment that can cure lung cancer. For metastatic lesions, we should also strive for surgical treatment, so as to carry out comprehensive treatment, improve symptoms and prolong life. Taking traditional Chinese medicine during the operation can reduce the occurrence of surgical complications, accelerate wound healing, prevent inflammation, enhance disease resistance, and improve the cure rate of patients. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine on advanced cancer is better, because the patients with advanced cancer are weak due to the consumption of cancer cells. Most of the cancer cells have metastasized in many places. The local treatment effect of Western medicine is not good, and the patients can not tolerate surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Taking traditional Chinese medicine can comprehensively regulate the internal environment of the body, replenish qi and nourish blood, strengthen healthy and eliminate pathogenic factors, effectively control the disease and relieve pain, Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, which is based on the combination of strengthening the body and removing pathogenic factors, improving symptoms and eliminating cancer focus, and improving symptoms by TCM Decoction.
