How long can colon cancer live without treatment

summary

After the operation for colon cancer, my aunt is in good condition now. Several years have passed, and the situation is relatively stable. We are not worried about the good effect of the operation. However, my uncle said that she may not survive for several years. Now let's talk about how long colon cancer can live.

How long can colon cancer live without treatment

First, if patients with colon cancer have a good effect after treatment and a good recovery, the five-year survival rate of early patients can be as high as 80%, and most experts believe that it may even reach 100%. Compared with the late stage, only about 30%, so we should do early treatment.

Second, there are many factors that determine the efficacy of colon cancer, not unilateral. It includes the pathological stage of the tumor, the type of the tumor, the age and gender of the patient, the course of disease, the location and size of the tumor, the way of surgical treatment, postoperative adjuvant treatment, whether there are complications and so on, which all have different degrees of influence.

Third: the main causes of death of colon cancer are as follows, such as the destruction of body tissues and organs by tumor, multiple organ failure due to excessive nutrition consumption, intestinal perforation, bleeding, infection, iatrogenic death and tumor compression of bilateral ureters.

matters needing attention

Although with the development of medicine, the treatment of colon cancer has made great progress, but in recent years, the 5-year survival rate of patients with advanced colon cancer has not changed greatly, so we still need to pay attention to the prevention of colon cancer.
