Talk about cancer discoloration!
For tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy, patients and their families who have experienced it personally know that the treatment process is extremely painful, and the toxic and side effects after radiotherapy and chemotherapy make patients miserable!
In the process of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, patients will have such states: nausea, vomiting, unable to eat, a lot of hair loss, rapid decline of white blood cells, further weakening of immunity, etc. This is because radiotherapy and chemotherapy not only kill cancer cells, but also damage a large number of normal cells and tissues of the human body, resulting in a large reduction of white blood cells in patients, the decline of immunity, but also may further promote the loss of immune monitoring of tumors, accelerate proliferation, and thus cause the recurrence or transfer of the disease. That is why many patients get better after chemotherapy, but get worse soon.However, as an important means to treat tumors, the medical community can not give up radiotherapy and chemotherapy at present, but also hope to have a good method to reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
At this time, trace element selenium is a role that can not only maintain the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs, but also limit toxic and side effects!
Proper selenium supplementation before and after radiotherapy and chemotherapy plays a multifaceted role
Selenium is an essential trace element in human body and is called "the king of anticancer". Studies have shown that there is a close relationship between selenium and tumors, and selenium can play a variety of roles in radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
The content of selenium in human lymph nodes, liver, spleen and other organs is high, and these tissues are the concentration of immune cells. If selenium is appropriately supplemented one week before radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the patient's body will have enough ability to successfully complete radiotherapy and chemotherapy while improving human immune function; If we insist on quantitative selenium supplementation after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, we can not only reduce the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but also reduce the degree of leucocyte decline caused by chemotherapy and improve the quality of life.
In addition, in the long-term chemotherapy, tumor cells will easily develop drug resistance. When the tumor cells are attacked by chemotherapy drugs, some of the tumor cells die, and some of them escape death, and may have a resistance effect on the chemotherapeutic substances, which significantly reduces the effect of chemotherapy again. Selenium supplementation while chemotherapy can significantly reduce the drug resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy drugs, so that tumor cells are always sensitive to chemotherapy and easy to treat. Studies have shown that when selenium is combined with drugs, its efficacy is significantly better than that of single drug.
Tumor patients usually need radiotherapy to make the tumor tissue undergo some radiation. After radiation, the body will produce a large number of harmful free radicals, attack the cell membrane of normal cells, damage or even death, resulting in a variety of toxic and side effects. Studies have found that selenium is a strong antioxidant. Large doses of selenium supplementation during radiotherapy can quickly improve the antioxidant capacity of the body, remove harmful free radicals, and reduce the occurrence of toxic and side effects during radiotherapy. Therefore, it can be considered that selenium is a necessary trace element to resist radiation damage.
Finally, the editor reminds that patients with radiotherapy and chemotherapy are a special group. If you want to supplement selenium, you must choose highly active products specially for selenium supplement, and then pay attention to the composition, safety and selenium content of the products. Don't blindly pursue cheapness and ignore the quality of products. You should know that "one price, one goods". Good products must not be cheap. According to Xiaobian, many cheap selenium supplements are either low selenium content, informal products, or organic selenium raw materials converted from inorganic selenium. Therefore, we must be careful when choosing selenium supplements.
