Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with pelvic endometrial cancer two years ago and had surgery. Now I have lung metastases, fever, and shortness of breath. The past two years were better, but recently it has recurred. I want to consult on how to treat lung metastases of pelvic cancer.Doctor's answer:
If pelvic cancer is in its advanced stage with extensive metastasis to nearby organs or even distant organs, the chances of treatment are slim. The focus should be on improving the patient's quality of life under the best possible conditions during this period, and providing necessary symptomatic treatment for severe symptoms such as pain that arise from advanced cancer. In my personal opinion, your situation has a possibility of being cured. After surgery, dietary care should be similar to daily life. Most people tend to focus on high-protein, high-calorie diets while neglecting vitamin intake, whereas the body's repair requires a variety of nutrients, especially roughage. For postoperative bedridden patients, consuming roughage can help promote gastrointestinal activity and maintain regular bowel movements.
