The terminal cancer patient's excessive treatment question causes the medical arena and the community day by day the value. Although the humanity passes through over a hundred year endeavor, attempts to attack and capture cancer this stubborn illness thoroughly, but at this point, the developed country cancer's cure rate is 45%~50%, more than 50% cancer patient cannot cure; The developing country, cancer cure rate is lower, in our country, although some provincial level Tumour hospital's cure rate close international advanced level, the national cancer average cure rate also has about 20%, i.e. some 80% patient still could not cure, but the terminal cancer may not cure is the world tumor professional's mutual recognition.
Is some which does to the tumor patient are not unnecessary uselessly, are even the harmful treatments
Professor Zhang in the prime of life, the enterprise progresses day by day, family happy content, last year actually unfortunately found out already the trouble intermediate stage lung cancer. After having experienced the conventional treatment, the Professor Zhang condition is stable, then leaves the hospital. When informs it to go home in detail the matters needing attention and enjoin its regular reexamination, I also at heart silently pray for heavenly blessing him soon to return to the operating post, continues “to proselytize instructs dispels doubt”. But a half year later, I saw him in the hospital ward. This time he has been much thinner, suffocates, this lets me be surprised. Originally, after Professor Zhang goes home, too wants to obtain a more perfect result Ms. Zhang, has not let the spouse according to mine request restore the physical strength slowly, but was tenacious leads Professor Zhang to step “fought up and down the country” has sought medical help the battle path. Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine, X knife, microwave thermotherapy and molecular target to treatment ......I glanced through the medical record carefully, in a half year unexpectedly supplemented 8 chemotherapies, 3 radiotherapies; Not only the present domestic and foreign anticancer treatment new medicine includes nearly completely, including was most popular, the effect also mature insufficiently member target also to use 3 kinds to the pharmacological treatment ...... “treats excessively” has not obtained the anticipated effect, Professor Zhang day-by-day is instead feeble down, but Ms. Zhang has to return the spouse my courtyard. In Professor Zhang in final day, all anti-tumor treatment has not helped matters, I can only give him by the best nutrition and the support treatment. Ms. although Zhang cries every day, can actually not but accept “the human to go to the wealth is spatial” the brutal fact. “treats excessively” cannot take The so-called tumor “treats excessively”, is some which does to the tumor patient are not unnecessary, the useless treatment. For instance, some later period tumor patient, were already many place the shift proliferation, does not have the surgery opportunity, if has not presented the complication like obstruction which, the massive hemorrhage endangers life and so on, then the surgery is useless; After some patients pass through the multi-cyclical chemotherapy, the marrow function receives seriously damps, the partial internal organs function suffers injury, the bodily extremely feeble, this time again forcefully the chemotherapy will increase the pain, will accelerate to die; Because some patients the excessive radiotherapy causes the sequela, often with difficulty reverses, the quality of life reduces greatly. Some material demonstrated that in our country, many hospital's very part of doctors when treats the tumor, varying degree's existence excessively and the unreasonable treatment, the cause at least 15% patients accelerate to die. The anti-tumor medicine and the other anticancer treatment method's basic principle is uses their intense cytotoxicity function to eliminate the tumour cell, therefore the virulent side effect is generally big, treatment not thorough flaw. World Health Organization's statistical data indicated that the nearly all chemotherapy medicine “the pathogenesis” the function is equates with its therapeutic action, i.e., applies some chemotherapy pharmacological treatment some disease's at the same time to meet latent initiation other one kind of disease. At present, recognizes on clinical puts the chemotherapy plan, the cycle and the intensity, is in the global scale the large-scale clinical trial summary, is follows the card medicine the result.
