What is the treatment of colon cancer

Treatment 1: surgical treatment: it is the best method to cure colon cancer. Patients who are suitable for surgery should be treated with surgical resection as soon as possible.

Treatment 2: chemotherapy: after radical resection of colorectal cancer, there are still 50% cases of recurrence and metastasis, so preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy may improve the 5-year survival rate after radical resection. Fluorouracil was the first choice of anticancer drugs, followed by mitomycin and adriamycin.

Treatment 3: radiotherapy: preoperative radiotherapy, can reduce the tumor, improve the resection rate, postoperative radiotherapy, can kill the residual tumor cells. Radiotherapy alone, only for advanced rectal cancer cases, has the effect of hemostasis, analgesia, prolong survival, this is the treatment of colon cancer.
