My father-in-law was dying of stomachache a few days ago. As a result, he learned that he had colon cancer and had to be treated surgically. Now there is a period of time after the operation, but the doctor said that he still needs chemotherapy. Now let's share the chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery.

Should chemotherapy be used after colon cancer operation

First, the different conditions of colon cancer patients require us to analyze specific problems. Only when we make treatment plans according to the patients' conditions can we have better expected treatment effect. Can go to the hospital for examination and treatment, ask the doctor's opinion, so that we can have a better effect.

Second: colon cancer surgery is mainly to prevent recurrence and metastasis of the treatment, as long as the treatment of tumor recurrence and metastasis, there is no big problem. Postoperative chemotherapy is not necessarily used for prognosis treatment, because the side effects of chemotherapy is larger, often hurt the patient's viscera, produce adverse reactions, make the patient miserable. Clinical patients can take Chinese medicine in time to consolidate.

Third: one is to advocate postoperative chemotherapy, which can remove the residual cancer cells in the human body. One is that chemotherapy is not advocated. If there are residual cancer cells in the body, chemotherapy may not be able to remove all of them.

matters needing attention

Chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery is commonly used in western medicine to prevent recurrence and metastasis. Although it can kill part of the tumor cells, even the normal immune cells in the human body are also killed, resulting in the decline of immunity and weakness of the patient.
