How is rectum cancer treated
Treatment 1: surgical resection is the main treatment for early rectal cancer. If the complete tumor is successfully removed, the survival time of the patient can be prolonged. However, this kind of operation will cause damage to the patient's body tissue and Qi and blood, resulting in the patient's physical weakness, and the cancer is easy to relapse, spread and metastasize. If the operation is combined with traditional Chinese medicine, strengthening the body and strengthening the foundation, it can improve the diet and sleep status of patients, and it is of great benefit to prevent cancer recurrence and metastasis.
Treatment 2: Although chemotherapy is also a treatment for rectal cancer, this treatment is generally "neither friend nor foe", the toxic dose and effective dose are very close, and the toxic and side effects are also very strong, the digestive function is damaged, and the bone marrow hematopoietic function is inhibited most obviously, so it is difficult for patients to accept or insist on completing the whole course of treatment.
Treatment 3: because the middle and advanced rectal cancer is easy to metastasize and spread, the success rate of surgical resection is not high, even if the operation can only use palliative local lesion resection. Therefore, the clinical treatment of advanced rectal cancer often use radiotherapy, or chemotherapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine, integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

People should pay attention to the diversification of diet, develop good eating habits, often eat some fresh fruits and vegetables containing cellulose and vitamins, do not eat high-fat and high protein food for a long time, which plays an important role in the prevention of cancer.
