summary

Chemotherapy is sensitive to the disease. The incidence rate of this disease is still high in life. The aim of chemotherapy is to kill cancer cells that have been expanded to all parts of the body. It should be clear to all of you. The stronger the cytotoxicity of chemotherapy drugs, the greater the dose of tumor drugs. The stronger the effect of chemotherapy drugs is on the DNA of all cells.

Second: gastrointestinal mucosal damage: in addition to the oral mucosa may be subject to chemoradiotherapy stimulation, gastrointestinal mucosa will also be affected to some extent, nausea, epigastric pain, vomiting and other symptoms; it is also easy to reduce the patient's willingness to eat, resulting in insufficient nutritional supply.

Third: decreased resistance, chemotherapy due to the relationship between chemical drugs, may cause damage to bone marrow function, usually patients in 7 to 14 days after chemotherapy, white blood cell index decreased significantly, although 21 to 28 days will gradually return to normal. However, during this transitional period, patients often have a decline in resistance, resulting in a relatively higher risk of bacterial and viral infection. If the infection is not handled properly, it is more likely to worsen.
