與癌共存
 

與癌共存

早前一位68歲婆婆,耍太極後感到右邊大腿劇痛,持續三至四周後,終於不堪痛楚求醫,診斷結果令她大吃一驚:醫生證實不煙不酒的她,患上晚期肺癌,本以為是肌肉勞損所致的疼痛,原來是癌細胞轉移至大腿骨的病徵。

一般來說,早期肺癌由於尚未有轉移,醫生可透過手術將癌腫瘤清除,根治率達60至70%;可是,臨床上由於病徵不明顯,不少患者確診時,癌細胞已出現不同程度擴散。晚期肺癌患者只能接受各類紓緩性治療,盡量減低痛苦不適。

近年,醫學界研發出多種針對癌症基因突變的標靶藥,如針對EGFR及EML4-ALK突變的藥物等。多項國際研究指出,以標靶藥作為一綫治療,能有效延長晚期肺癌病人的壽命,整體存活中位數提升,患者的「無惡化存活期」亦得到延長,可望達到「與肺癌共存」的最終目標。

以上述的婆婆為例,她接受了合適標靶治療,以及手術鞏固腿骨,病情緩和,亦維持到生活質素。
