What are the commonly used drugs for the treatment of skin cancer

In today's society, people are more and more particular about their lives, but they still cannot escape the fate of cancer. Now many people have died of various cancers. When they should be enjoying a good life, cancer deprives them of the right to enjoy this beautiful world. So what are the commonly used drugs for the treatment of skin cancer?

1. Local treatment: mainly local external application, local application and local injection. In the early years, 0.5% colchicine ointment was used for local external application of tumors, with good results. In recent years, 5-Fu ointment and bleomycin ointment have also achieved good results.

(1) Bleomycin: Generally, 0.1% or 2% ointment is used, applied 1 to 2 times a day, and generally has no side effects. The ointment can be stored at room temperature for 6 months without decreasing its potency.

(2) Fluorouracil: Generally, 0.5% ointment is used in clinical practice, applied 1 to 2 times a day. It is very effective for superficial basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in situ.

2. Systemic treatment

(1) Indications: Systemic chemotherapy is required for squamous cell carcinoma that develops on the basis of existing scars, squamous cell carcinoma at the junction of the skin and mucosa, patients with impaired immune function, and those with regional lymph node and distant metastasis.

(2) BLM is more effective for outward-proliferating squamous cell carcinoma. The dosage is 10 mg injected intramuscularly or intravenously, twice a week, with 300-400 mg as a course of treatment.

(3) PEP (petomycin): It is not only sensitive to primary lesions, but also has an efficacy of about 30% for cases with lymph node metastasis. Usage: 5 mg once, 6 times a week, intramuscular injection, stop for 1 day, repeat 5 to 7 times.

(4) Combination of DDP and ADM: The chemotherapy method is intravenous drip of DDP 75mg/m2, combined with hydration, that is, large-volume infusion and diuretics, ADM 50mg + 40ml of injection water are injected within 5 minutes. After a 3-week interval, all patients received adequate chemotherapy, and the remission rate during chemotherapy was 87%.

(5) Hydroxytalinine treatment: It has a strong killing effect on cancer cells. It can interfere with and block the division and proliferation of cancer cells, inhibit cancer cell DNA replication and gene opening, inhibit tumor angiogenesis, and cause ischemic apoptosis of cancer cells.

The above are what we should know when we carry out corresponding treatment. In fact, drug treatment is one of our most commonly used methods. For most patients, choosing the right drug is the most important thing. I hope these can help everyone cure the disease as soon as possible.
