Can colon cancer be cured

summary

Recently, my cousin always feels pain in his lower abdomen, which seriously affects his quality of life. The doctor says that this is colon cancer, and I don't know if he will be better. Now let me talk about whether colon cancer can be cured if it is not treated.

Can colon cancer be cured

First: according to the clinical and related investigation, if the patient has intestinal obstruction at the time of treatment, the general 5-year survival rate is only half of the patients without intestinal obstruction. Intestinal bleeding, perforation, suppurative peritonitis and other complications, poor prognosis.

Second: for patients with early-stage colon cancer, surgery is generally taken for treatment, which of course has certain indications. If the tumor is located more than 6cm in the anus, and there is no obvious fixed and metastatic patients, and the treatment of upper colon cancer is more than 12cm away from the anal margin, transabdominal low resection and extraperitoneal primary anastomosis are feasible. This operation is less invasive and the cure rate is general. The patients who underwent transabdominal perineal resection would have a permanent colostomy in the abdomen, that is, artificial anus. This operation can remove the tumor thoroughly, and the cure rate is relatively high.

Third: it can be seen that if early and timely treatment can be carried out, colorectal cancer is not an incurable disease. If early detection and correct treatment are carried out, it can be cured and long-term survival is possible. The most effective treatment is surgical resection. The 5-year survival rate of early rectal cancer after resection is more than 60%.

matters needing attention
