summary

My uncle has suffered from rectal cancer for many years. He has had two operations successively. After the operation, his condition has improved. But after a period of time, his condition has deteriorated again. The doctor is helpless now. Let's share the knowledge about rectal cancer with you!

Guidelines for the treatment of rectal cancer

First: the difference must go to a regular hospital for treatment, in order to be more effective. For patients with rectal cancer whose postoperative pathological stage is stage II and III, when the condition is not too serious, the doctor will generally recommend surgery. After surgery, chemotherapy is needed for a period of time, and the total chemotherapy time is half a year.

Second, if the scope of local recurrence is limited, and there is no recurrence or metastasis in other parts, surgical exploration can be performed for resection. For patients who have not received pelvic radiotherapy before, radiotherapy for recurrent pelvic lesions can temporarily relieve pain symptoms.

Thirdly, radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of rectal cancer. At present, it is considered that the survival time of patients with locally late middle and low rectal cancer who underwent preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy and then surgery is longer than that of patients who underwent surgery and then radiotherapy. During the treatment period, we must go to the regular hospital, preferably to the authoritative hospitals such as Grade 3A hospital.
