Does rectal cancer need chemotherapy in the second stage

Treatment 1: radiotherapy and chemotherapy will cause some damage to normal cells or organs of human body, such as digestive tract reaction, liver and kidney function damage, and hematopoietic system damage. These indicators should be frequently checked during treatment. If there is obvious abnormality, it should be stopped in time.

Treatment 2: rectal cancer surgery is the first to emphasize surgical resection, and pay attention to the combination of preoperative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other comprehensive treatment, in order to improve the surgical resection rate, reduce the recurrence rate after surgery, and improve the survival rate. The principles of surgical treatment for rectal cancer are: (1) radical treatment as far as possible; (2) protection of pelvic autonomic nerve as far as possible, preservation of sexual function, urination function and defecation function, preservation of anus as far as possible, and improvement of quality of life.

Treatment 3: chemotherapy for rectal cancer. About half of the patients with rectal cancer have metastasis and recurrence after operation. Except for some early patients, patients in late stage and after operation need chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is another important treatment after surgery in the comprehensive treatment of colorectal cancer.
