summary

What is the fastest way to treat rectal cancer

First: radical operation, transabdominal perineal resection is suitable for lower rectal cancer less than 7cm from the anal margin. The scope of resection includes sigmoid colon and its mesorectum, rectum, anal canal, levator ani muscle, tissues in ischiorectal fossa, skin and blood vessels around anus, ligation and cutting at the root of inferior mesenteric artery or below the left colon artery, and dissection of corresponding para arterial lymph nodes. A permanent colostomy was performed on the abdomen. The operation is complete and the cure rate is high.

Second: transabdominal low resection and extraperitoneal one-stage anastomosis, also known as anterior resection of rectal cancer (Dixon operation), is suitable for upper rectal cancer more than 12 cm away from the anal margin. Most of the sigmoid colon and rectum are removed in the abdominal cavity, and the rectum below the peritoneal reflexed part is free, and the sigmoid colon and rectum resection end are anastomosed outside the peritoneum. This operation is less invasive and can retain the original anus, which is ideal.

Thirdly, chemotherapy is recommended for patients with rectal cancer whose postoperative pathological stages are stage II and stage III. The total chemotherapy time is half a year. If the scope of local recurrence is limited, and there is no recurrence or metastasis in other parts, surgical exploration can be performed for resection. For patients who have not received pelvic radiotherapy before, radiotherapy for recurrent pelvic lesions can temporarily relieve pain symptoms.

matters needing attention

Many doctors suggest that patients with rectal cancer can be treated by surgery, which can remove the diseased tissue. At the same time, a period of time after surgery also need weekly chemotherapy to further inhibit the metastasis and spread of cancer cells. In addition, the patient's diet is also as light as possible, every meal try to eat liquid food.
