summary

According to the clinical data, even in the early detection of symptoms, the prognosis of simple surgery is still not ideal, especially in patients with advanced stage, the 5-year survival rate is lower. Radiotherapy is one of the methods used by patients with renal cell carcinoma. It only kills the cancer cells in the irradiation area. In most cases, radiotherapy is used as an adjuvant treatment. Then I'll explain here whether radiotherapy can cure renal cancer.

Can kidney cancer radiotherapy cure

Methods 1. Preoperative radiotherapy. Preoperative radiotherapy is a common method in clinic. It is mainly suitable for patients with advanced stage and large tumor range. The purpose of radiotherapy is to reduce the size of the tumor, inhibit the activity of cancer cells, limit the scope of the tumor, clear the boundary, which is conducive to complete surgical resection, and can reduce or prevent the spread or metastasis of the tumor caused by surgery. The volume of nephrectomy can be reduced by nephrectomy after radiotherapy.   

Methods 2. Postoperative radiotherapy. Postoperative radiotherapy is only used for patients with postoperative recurrence or lymph node metastasis and small lymph nodes found during the operation and confirmed by pathology. The effect of postoperative radiotherapy is not ideal due to the destruction of local tumor and its recurrent vascular bed and the decrease of radiosensitivity.

Methods 3. Radiotherapy combined with biological cell immunotherapy. Radiotherapy alone is not ideal for patients with renal cancer, combined with biological therapy can play an excellent effect. Different from the traditional treatment methods, biological cellular immunotherapy is mainly to mobilize the body's natural anti-cancer ability and restore the balance of the internal environment. Biological cell immunotherapy has a good effect on patients with early renal cancer. It can not only effectively remove the residual tumor cells after operation, but also improve the body's immunity, prevent metastasis and recurrence, and achieve 1 / 3 cure. For patients with advanced cancer, combined chemotherapy can not only reduce toxicity and increase efficiency, precisely kill tumor cells, control tumor growth, but also relieve pain for patients, so that patients are free from the pain and side effects of radiotherapy. Biological cellular immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy can prolong the life cycle, discover symptoms and treat cancer in time. Biological cellular immunotherapy is a good choice for renal cancer patients.

matters needing attention

During radiotherapy, renal cancer patients should do less. If you feel tired, you should have less activity and more rest in your spare time. Go to bed early at night and rest during the day.
