Mitotane, commonly used in the form of tablets, is a highly effective antineoplastic drug for adrenal adenoma without surgical conditions. It is also effective for Cushing syndrome and can help patients reduce pain and help them recover.
The effectiveness of Mitotane varies from person to person, but in general, it has shown some efficacy in the treatment of certain diseases. The following is a detailed analysis of the effects of Mitotane treatment:
Mitotane can influence the body's immune response, which can either enhance or decrease the immune response, depending on the type of tumor and the patient's status. At the same time, it can also reduce the activity of inflammatory mediators and reduce typical symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain in tissues.
For patients with functional adrenocortical carcinoma, Mitotane can alleviate the symptoms of hypercortical function, such as moon face, buffalo back, central obesity, etc., and may shrink the tumor and prolong the patient's life.
Cushing's syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by excessive secretion of glucocorticoids (mainly cortisol) by the adrenal glands of various etiologies, and its main clinical manifestations are as follows:
More than three-quarters of patients with Cushing syndrome develop hypertension, which may be accompanied by arteriosclerosis and glomerular arteriosclerosis. Long-term hypertension can be complicated by left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, and cerebrovascular accident.
Patients are susceptible to arteriovenous thrombosis due to coagulation abnormalities and lipid metabolism disorders.
Most patients will have varying degrees of mental and emotional changes, such as emotional instability, irritability, insomnia, and in severe cases, psychopathy or paramiatry.
The skin is thin, the capillary fragility increases and minor damage can cause ecchymosis.
Dietary management for patients with Cushing syndrome includes the following:
Patients should eat a diet low in sodium, fat, carbohydrates, potassium, protein, and vitamins. Such a diet helps to control the condition and improve the physical condition.
Patients with hypertension or edema should be given a low-salt diet to reduce symptoms of edema and hypertension.
Do not eat spicy, cold, or irritating foods to avoid aggravating the condition.
【Warm tips】When patients buy generic drugs, they should choose formal channels to ensure the quality and safety of the drugs. Avoid purchasing counterfeit products from informal sources.
