Chemotherapy or not after rectal cancer surgery

summary

Do you need chemotherapy after rectal cancer surgery? If rectal cancer is not ideal after surgery, it needs chemotherapy control. My aunt was like this at that time. Her condition developed very quickly, and there was a serious situation. Let's take a look at chemotherapy for rectal cancer.

Chemotherapy or not after rectal cancer surgery

First of all: after the general surgery, the body can recover chemotherapy, I'm afraid the weak body can't bear chemotherapy. The first thing patients need to do now is to adjust their body well. Only with a strong body can they successfully complete chemotherapy. The specific chemotherapy time should be determined according to the patient's condition.

Second: to see the staging of rectal cancer, if it is early and found earlier, surgical resection is relatively clean and thorough, and there is no lymph node metastasis in a short time, chemotherapy can not be done at this time. Because chemotherapy itself has a lot of side effects, some patients can not tolerate it due to their own physical reasons, which will affect the process of treatment.

Finally: we all know that if the patient's physical condition allows, surgery is usually considered for related treatment. However, for patients with locally late middle and low rectal cancer, most of them think that preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery has a longer survival than surgery followed by radiotherapy.

matters needing attention

We should pay attention to regular inspection every year, early detection and early treatment, and also pay attention to reexamination after operation, so as to effectively prevent the recurrence of the disease. Balanced diet, avoid frying stimulating food, maintain a good lifestyle and so on.
