Breast cancer radiotherapy treatment process there might be some risk of complications, the most common complication of radiation dermatitis, radiological pneumonia.
Human skin is receiving radiation therapy to go through channels. Therefore radiation skin damage is inevitable, the general radiation dose, the higher the rate of their occurrence; Armpit chest radiotherapy is more prone zone lesions; More color white, with delicate skin color than the deep, rough skin of the patients more susceptible; The hot weather and cool than when high incidence; Poor nutrition , the merger more susceptible to diabetes. Speaking stem dermatitis (skin local congestion and litter crumbs like peeling, local pigmentation, local dry, itching, etc.), Dermatitis (in extreme congestive appeared on the skin blisters and lesions after effusion, formed after the scab, feeling pain), skin ulcer ( ulceration of the skin that is not easily healed, or secondary infection, severe pain). In the course of radiation therapy, how to protect irradiation of the skin is especially important. Dry dermatitis, radiation field are often dry skin also born, the skin is very fragile, and that will stimulate some skin ulceration and should avoid friction and Qu and wear the clothes to be soft, relaxed; To avoid any physical or chemical stimulation, such as to avoid exposure to direct sunlight, avoid friction, avoid heat bath with a towel to avoid the red and avoid using cosmetics, skin care products and soap. Local topical ointment zinc oxide ointment or cod liver oil, antipruritic, and smooth skin custody. There Dermatitis that there ulcerated local exudation, maintaining local ventilation, drying, to prevent infection is most important. Also available with systemic antibiotics, vitamin B12 local agent can be used wet dressing, can promote skin and vascular endothelial cells restored. For radioactive skin ulcer should be sensitive to the use of antibiotics in the same time maintaining local wound clean and medicine "Shengji Yuhong Plaster" has long Shengji meat function, the scope of ulcers smaller fit. "Yolk oil" for the beginning of ulcer significant effect. Preparation : three eggs cooked to five, stripping out yolk She points out a little sesame oil or vegetable oil, egg yolks Add moistened slow fried until the yolk oil, into a deep yellow, to egg yolk and oil paint on to the surface of the skin, antipruritic, analgesics, Shengji effectiveness. Medication should be wet packing, rendering adhesion and wound dressings. Ulcer a long time to heal, can be held as appropriate surgical treatment.
Radioactive including acute pneumonia and chronic pneumonia radioactive radiation-induced lung fibrosis. Its occurrence and irradiation dose, exposure, exposure area related to several factors, time of occurrence in the first 10 days after radiotherapy, can occur in up to 2 years after radiotherapy, the majority occurred after radiotherapy in three to six months. Acute radiation pneumonitis occurred in the early radiotherapy, Zheng Jian irritating cough, sputum or less without sputum, fever, severe shortness of breath, lung infection complicated by fever; Chronic pulmonary fibrosis also occur in radiation therapy after three to six months, the performance of dry cough without phlegm, lightheadedness shortness of breath. Chest X-ray examination can help diagnose. Chinese medicine in preventing and treating radioactive pneumonia prominent effect, not only can reduce the occurrence of radioactive pneumonia, but also relieves the symptoms and shorten its duration. Therefore radiotherapy process should Clothing Chinese medicine treatment. While eating to light, do not eat spicy fat, for instance, onions, ginger, garlic, hot pepper, crab, shrimp, etc., can eat pears, such as Lily Yangyin Yifei food.
