What diseases do you need chemotherapy for?

Cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of cells, invasion and metastasis. 1. All kinds of cancer such as lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, etc. Chemotherapy inhibits the growth and division of cancer cells by using chemical drugs, thereby controlling the progression of tumors and prolonging the survival time of patients. 2. Leukemia includes acute leukemia and chronic leukemia. Chemotherapy plays a key role in the treatment of leukemia. It can help eliminate abnormal proliferation of leukemia cells in the body and restore normal hematopoietic function. 3. Lymphoma Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Chemotherapy can effectively target lymphoma cells, alleviate symptoms, improve the remission rate and survival rate of patients. 4. Multiple myeloma is a plasma cell malignancy. Chemotherapy can reduce the number of myeloma cells, relieve symptoms such as bone pain, and improve the quality of life of patients. 5. Some germ cell tumors such as testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. Chemotherapy has a good effect on the treatment of these tumors, often combined with surgery and other treatments. Although chemotherapy has an important therapeutic effect on these diseases, it also brings some side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, bone marrow suppression, etc. Doctors will tailor chemotherapy to each patient, weighing the pros and cons, and as medicine continues to evolve, new chemotherapy drugs and treatment strategies are emerging to improve outcomes and reduce side effects.

For patients who need chemotherapy, active cooperation with doctors and appropriate supportive treatment and care are essential to improve treatment effectiveness and quality of life.
