Cancer Treatment

Two Successful Treatment of Cancer Terms

CANCER, a word is a scourge for many people save up the cure rate is not 100 percent. This modern diseases can be cured with two conditions.

Indeed, cancer is not a mild disease, but also not without hope of recovery. The first and foremost requirement for cancer treatment is early detection. The earlier detected and known, the faster treatment and greater possibility of recovery.

"The success of treatment depends on the stage of cancer where the patient being treated. In stage 1-2, the possibility of recovery is 80-90 per cent, while for stage 3-4, yes its opposite, "explains Prof. Dr. Soehartati Gondhowiardja, radiation oncology specialist in clinical discussions" Radiotherapy for Cancer "at the Department of Radiotherapy RSCM, Jakarta, Tuesday (13/07/2010).

The next requirement is a cancer treatment should be multidisciplinary. Not only known as chemotherapy or surgery (even a scourge) most patients with cancer, but also includes radiotherapy, pathology, radiology, and supporting therapy (medical rehabilitation, clinical nutritionist, psychiatrist).

For example, in the form of radiation cancer treatment. Radiation done locally and systemic effect on side effects, including the appetite. For this reason, one nutrition expert to take part in cancer Handling.

"Side effects can include dry mouth, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and so on, depending on which drugs are given. Therefore, before undergoing chemotherapy, for example, patients are given information about side effects, are also medications to reduce side effects, "said Dr. Sri Wuriyanti, clinical nutrition specialist RSCM.

How to overcome or reduce complaints, added Dr. Sri, is providing meal replacement option. For example, for dry mouth problems, patients are advised to consume milk or fruit juice.

"To keep the body absorb vitamins and minerals with the principle of administration is the volume a little, but often. Then, note the complete nutritional composition, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and so on in each food intake, "said Dr. Sri.

Another important reason why supporting therapy for cancer patients is important because in addition to the physical, human beings have many aspects in him, covering social, emotional, cultural, spiritual, and others.

"Patients will inevitably feel the side effects of treatment, but it depends also on how he views the disease. If there are patients who are predicted to achieve optimal recovery point, but because it is not excited, the recovery rate will be affected. That is why we (the team doctor RSCM) try to assist outside of aspects of cancer, "said Dr Siti Annisa Nuhonni, specialist medical rehabilitation RSCM.

Unfortunately, affirmed Dr Siti, most patients present with advanced cancer have thus supporting therapy also need to be more vigilant. "If the baby is born to be prepared, why not put up also the process leading to death? We all care about the patients. For us, the patient is our focus, "said Dr Siti.

"Multidisciplinary treatment is not only to cure the cancer, but also make the quality of life of sufferers, the better. Cancer can be treated, but what if both hands can not be moved or during treatment, nutrition continues to decline? That's the importance of a multidisciplinary treatment. However, the final decision is patient choice. What is important, we communicate and convey the right information at the patient's choice, "said Prof Soehartati who is also Head of the Department of Radiotherapy RSCM.

That was a way to overcome or reduce the cancer is
