癌晚期往往伴随的炎症,很多医生对晚期患者C反应蛋白居高不下视而不见,他们认为这是肿瘤进展,C反应蛋白高与不高没有任何关系,所以很少有医生主动为晚期病人抗感染治疗,他们的建议一般就是“肿瘤进展,必须化疗..........或采取其他治疗”。, Q; K- K- H' d9 @; |# o
相对感染来说,癌可以成是一种慢性病,不做任何治疗,生存期至少有几个月,甚至半年、一年,可是一旦严重感染,这个生存期要短很多。" T5 ]7 g2 r4 `! \
同样,肿瘤和感染会相互促进的,肿瘤进展伴随着感染,感染同时也会影响靶向药有效性,但是,感染可以通过强力的抗生素治愈,可是肿瘤不能。 2 ~4 z# |, S- Q' k' b. }这种情况下,对我们最有利的做法就是首先要抗感染治疗,其次是用上有效的靶向药。

Check for infection after surgery. CRP levels normally rise within 2 to 6 hours of surgery and then go down by the third day after surgery. If CRP levels stay elevated 3 days after surgery, an infection may be present.
