Can advanced rectal cancer be treated well

summary

The prognosis of advanced rectal cancer is very poor. I have a classmate in the University. When I was young, it was because this disease did not exist. When I reached the advanced stage, I could only control it as much as possible. Let's see if advanced rectal cancer can be treated.

Can advanced rectal cancer be treated well

First of all: clinical data show that more than 50% of colorectal cancer will have liver metastasis, of which about 25% of new colorectal cancer with simultaneous liver metastasis. Only 20% of the patients with newly diagnosed liver metastases have the possibility of radical resection, while the vast majority of patients with liver metastases can not get radical resection.

Secondly, the median survival time of resectable colorectal cancer patients with liver metastasis was about 35 months, and the 5-year survival rate was about 30-50%. However, the prognosis of patients with unresectable liver metastases is much worse. Therefore, active and scientific treatment measures should be taken to transform the unresectable liver metastases into resectable ones, so as to improve the therapeutic effect as much as possible.

Finally: the median survival time of patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer who did not receive treatment was only 6-12 months. The median survival time of patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer who received chemotherapy alone was 12-24 months, and the survival time of a few patients was more than 5 years. The 5-year survival rate of patients with liver metastasis can reach 35% - 58%. Therefore, it is very important to receive active treatment after illness.

matters needing attention

The nutrition consumption of rectal cancer patients is greater than that of normal people, so good nutrition maintenance can improve and consolidate the curative effect. It is almost impossible to cure the advanced rectal cancer. The family members should be prepared psychologically.
