Aunt Deng (pseudonym) came to our hospital for examination in December last year with bleeding and discharge, saying that she had been feeling unwell, anxious every day, often unable to eat, and could not sleep well.
At that time, Aunt Deng had been diagnosed in the local hospitalSquamous cell carcinoma of the cervix。When she came to us, she was examined and evaluated, and she was evaluated by imaging, and her lump was not big, onlyMore than two centimeters
Later, we did a ** examination for the patient, and the condition of the uterine disc was also very good. Patients like this who are relatively old and in their 60s can have surgery or radiotherapy.
But this kind of surgery is a **sexual operation, which requires a hysterectomy, removal of the adnexa, and dissection of pelvic lymph nodes. After surgery, it will be a long recovery process, and radiotherapy can only be done after the bladder function and bowel function have been restored.
If the surgery is done, the cycle will be long, the physical trauma, and the financial burden will be heavier. Moreover, Aunt Deng is also very resistant to surgery personally, and her psychological burden is very heavy.
Therefore, we performed according to the patient's condition and wishesMDT multidisciplinary consultation, decided to give the patient a proceed**Sexual radiotherapy (10-15 quick-knife radiotherapy + intraluminal posterior radiotherapy)., ieExternal radiotherapy + internal radiotherapy were performed simultaneously
This ** radiotherapy is able to achieve the same effect as surgical resection, canPrecise cancer killing, ** and smallIn the process, the patient basically does not need to be taken care of by others and can live independently.
The whole process of the patient was very smooth, and the whole process was completed in 43 days, and then it was a regular review. It has been re-examined three times now and the results of the re-examination are also very goodThe lump also disappeared and the drainage stopped。She is generally in good condition and continues to take care of the household chores at home.
Afterloading radiotherapy is a radiological** technique that is mainly used for:Malignant tumors, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, etc。The principle of this technique is to willThe radioactive source is delivered directly into the tumor, and then activate away from the human body, making putThe source releases rays inside the tumorto kill tumor cells.
The scope of afterloading radiotherapy** mainly includes:Tumors, such as cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, cancer, canceretc., as wellNasopharyngeal, esophagus, bronchial, rectal, bladder, breast and pancreatic tumorsTarget**.
It is able toPrecisely delivers radioactive material inside the tumor, minimizing damage to surrounding normal tissues。In addition, afterloading radiotherapy alsoIt can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the tumorto achieve the best results.
In each ** process, the post-loading radiotherapy can be achieved after CT positioning is appliedConformable well。That is, according to the volume and shape of the tumor, and the relationship between the tumor and the bladder and rectumReal-time fine delineation of the target area, set the most optimized dose curve, the most reasonable distribution of radioactive sourcesEffectively kills tumors, at the same timeReduces response to radiation to other normal tissues
In general, post-loading radiotherapy is a precise and efficient method, which is of great significance for malignant tumors.
