Treatment of advanced rectal cancer

summary

My grandmother's stomach is not good at this time, from constipation to diarrhea at the beginning, and sometimes there will be bleeding. We took her to the hospital, and the results showed that it was advanced rectal cancer. Today, I'd like to introduce the treatment of advanced rectal cancer.

Treatment of advanced rectal cancer

First, the surgical treatment of rectal cancer: is the preferred treatment of early rectal cancer, treatment effect is obvious. The surgical treatment of rectal cancer can also be used for patients without contraindications in the middle and late stage. The metastatic focus of rectal cancer can be removed, but the curative effect is not ideal. No matter in the early or advanced stage of rectal cancer, the surgical treatment is easy to relapse and metastasis. Postoperative combined with biological immunotherapy, the use of autoimmune cells for anti-cancer treatment, can effectively consolidate the surgical effect, effectively prevent cancer metastasis and recurrence.

Second, chemotherapy for rectal cancer: mostly used for adjuvant therapy before and after rectal cancer surgery. Although it can not improve the survival rate of patients before rectal cancer surgery, it can reduce the tumor size to a certain extent, which is conducive to surgical resection and sphincter function preservation, and can reduce the chance of intraoperative and postoperative tumor spread. Many studies have shown that sufficient combined chemotherapy after surgery can improve the survival rate of patients. However, because most patients are weak after surgery, they can not tolerate the side effects of chemotherapy. In clinical practice, biological immunotherapy is often used to reduce the side effects.

Third, radiotherapy for rectal cancer: the use of radiotherapy for rectal cancer should be careful, not only to consider the curative effect of cancer, but also to consider the damage of adjacent organs around the rectum. Clinically, it is only used for adjuvant treatment of rectal cancer surgery, with certain contraindications. Patients with poor constitution should be cautious. In clinic, it is combined with biological immunotherapy to reduce its toxic and side effects.

matters needing attention

The first is to actively treat to control the tumor and avoid its further deterioration or metastasis; the second is to pay attention to enhance their immunity to enhance the resistance to cancer cells and improve the quality of life in advanced stage; the third is to pay attention to enhance their tolerance to treatment.
