summary

Some time ago, my father-in-law lost a lot of weight, and his stool was very irregular. Sometimes he had stomachache and constipation. He went to the hospital for examination, and the doctor said it was rectal cancer. In order to avoid this situation, let's talk about how to treat rectal cancer.

How is rectum cancer treated

Treatment 1: surgical resection is the main treatment for early rectal cancer. If the resection is complete, patients with rectal cancer have the possibility of long-term survival. However, due to the damage of body tissue and the loss of Qi and blood caused by rectal cancer surgery, patients with rectal cancer are weak and easy to lead to cancer recurrence, cancer cell proliferation and metastasis. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the body, improve the diet and sleep status of patients with rectal cancer, and enhance the physique of patients.

Treatment 2: most advanced rectal cancer has spread and metastasis, and the probability of surgical resection is not big, even if the operation is only palliative local resection. Clinically, the treatment of advanced rectal cancer mainly includes radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine, and the treatment principle is integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Treatment 3: chemotherapy is also one of the common methods for the treatment of rectal cancer, in which the digestive function damage and bone marrow hematopoiesis suppression are the most obvious reactions, which often make it difficult for rectal cancer patients to accept chemotherapy or insist on completing the whole course of treatment due to the serious reaction.
