Moderator: There is a net friend asked, her husband was in November 2002 had a lower left abdominal surgery, chemotherapy has now been done, the treatment effect is said to use a good power Bi Taijia cisplatin, after 4 courses of treatment, have been discharged, the discharge general physical examination, did not find any foreign body, the body properly, then asked two experts, that the extent of recurrent disease?
Wang million: What place?
Host: lower left abdomen
Wang million: First of all mesothelioma surgery done after that, which means to be radical, if it is relatively widespread, such surgery is difficult to cure, the recurrence rate is relatively high, if these patients are relatively more limited, they do so in the stomach after the treatment, of course, has done a ALINTA, that is multi-target anti-folate drugs. United States ratified the mesothelial sarcoma him as a preferred treatment, which together with cisplatin, before effective treatment of mesothelioma little, so I feel that such a course of four Ye Hao, we call cycle , so that is enough.
How he like? Later to be followed up regularly to do the appropriate checks to see if he has not relapsed, and he could relapse, we should look at his disease before surgery or not, look at his situation in the differentiation of lesions. If a relatively clean operation, and after doing the treatment, he is likely to be cured, or do the review. For early detection and early treatment.
Moderator: This friends long after it usually relapse? That there is no statistical data?
Wang Wan: Because of different tumors (thematic interview advice) form of its biology is not the same, some a few months after tumor recurrence, and some relatively slow tumor growth, or even ten years after her operation, she before relapse, some are relatively easy to relapse, such as a high degree of recurrence of lymphoma.
Mesothelioma to somewhere in between, generally easier to recurrent tumors are two to five years, more than five years if it is, then lower the chance of recurrence, and should be said that the high chance of recurrence is two to three years.
Moderator: If the program or the relapse of his same?
Wang Wan: If a relapse or mesothelioma based mainly on surgery, then this is to periodically review, can be removed if the surgery is to choose resection, surgical resection can not we choose local radiation therapy, there is Select irradiation, there is relatively late, that is, chemotherapy.
