What are the treatments for breast tumors?

Breast tumor, also known as breast cancer, is one of the diseases that seriously threaten women's safety today, because it is not easy to detect in the early stage, and when the disease is discovered, it is often in the late stage. Since late-stage breast tumors are difficult to cure, it brings a lot of trouble and anxiety to many female friends. So how can breast tumors be treated more effectively? What are the methods for treating breast tumors? Today I will give you a detailed introduction to the treatment methods of breast tumors.

With the deepening of understanding of the biological behavior of breast tumors and the transformation and updating of treatment concepts, the treatment of breast cancer has entered an era of comprehensive treatment, forming a treatment model that emphasizes both local and systemic treatment of breast tumors. Doctors will use a variety of methods, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, biological targeted therapy, and auxiliary treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, depending on the stage of the tumor and the patient's physical condition. Surgery plays an important role in the diagnosis, staging and comprehensive treatment of breast tumors.

Radiotherapy uses radiation to destroy the growth and reproduction of cancer cells, thereby controlling and eliminating cancer cells. Surgery and radiotherapy are both local treatments. Chemotherapy is a treatment method that uses anti-cancer drugs to inhibit the division of cancer cells and destroy cancer cells. It is referred to as chemotherapy.

Endocrine therapy uses drugs or removes endocrine glands to regulate the body's endocrine function and reduce the secretion of endocrine hormones, thereby achieving the purpose of treating breast cancer. Molecular targeted therapy is one of the most active research fields in recent years. Compared with chemotherapy drugs, it is a new type of anti-tumor therapeutic drug with a multi-link mechanism of action.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the principles of regulation and balance in treating tumors, restoring and enhancing the body's internal disease resistance, thereby achieving the goal of treating tumors with a balance of yin and yang. Chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment are all systemic treatments. During the treatment process, doctors will take into account both local and systemic treatments for patients, strive to cure patients with early and middle-stage breast cancer, and prolong the life of patients with advanced stages and improve their quality of life.

The above is an introduction to the treatment methods of breast tumors. At this point, I have reason to believe that after reading the detailed introduction above, everyone should have a new understanding and knowledge of the treatment methods of breast tumors. In fact, no matter what the disease is, as long as everyone can establish a mentality to overcome the disease, with the encouragement of family members, and can actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, then I believe recovery from the disease is not far away.
