5-year survival rate of colon cancer

summary

Colon cancer is a common malignant tumor of digestive tract. Because it involves cancer, so patients with colon cancer are generally very concerned about whether colon cancer can be cured, and how long they can live after surgery. For patients with this disease should be treated as soon as possible, I will tell you about the survival rate of colon cancer.

5-year survival rate of colon cancer

First of all: Patients with stage IV colon cancer are very serious. If the effect is better after treatment and the recovery is also very good, the five-year survival rate of early patients can be as high as 80%, and most experts believe that it is even possible to 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 postoperative complications and so on, which all have different degrees of influence.

Finally: the main causes of death of colon cancer are as follows, such as the destruction of body tissues and organs caused by tumor, multiple organ failure caused by 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 also made great progress, but in recent years, the 5-year survival rate of patients with advanced colon cancer has not greatly improved, so we still need to pay attention to the prevention of colon cancer, usually less exposure to harmful gases, more water nutrition food.
