Update Date: Source: Network

summary

Colon cancer is a malignant tumor of digestive tract, which is located in the colon. The location of the disease is located at the junction of rectum and sigmoid colon. The incidence rate of the elderly is the highest, and the number of males is more than that of females. Metastasis is the most common manifestation of colon cancer in the late stage, and the direct implantation metastasis to the pelvic cavity is more common. Colon cancer symptoms and treatment? Let's talk about it.

Colon cancer symptoms and treatment?

Surgical treatment: Although the injury of surgery for patients is relatively large, but for large colon cancer patients, if the necrotic tissue is not removed, it is a kind of neglect for the life treatment of patients. In addition, we can properly alleviate the erosion of cancer cells to patients by removing cancer cells through surgery. Therefore, generally speaking, for patients with colon cancer, unless there is no surgical significance, the general surgical treatment must be included in the conventional treatment.

Radiotherapy: full name, radiotherapy. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are commonly used interventions for tumor treatment. If pelvic metastasis occurs in patients with colon cancer, if there are more metastatic foci at this time, it is unlikely to take surgical treatment. At this time, the metastatic foci can be removed one by one with radiotherapy, which can kill a certain number of cancer cells.

Chemotherapy. Full name, chemical therapy. Chemotherapy is widely used in the treatment of cancer patients. Generally speaking, chemotherapy drugs are some drugs that control nucleic acid metabolism, and then tissue tumor cells continue to unlimited proliferation, to reduce the role of cancer cells. But the side effects of chemotherapy have been criticized.

matters needing attention

In addition to the above treatment, there are many new clinical treatment options, such as biological therapy, stem cell therapy and so on. However, these treatments have certain limitations, and are currently being carried out. It is suggested that we look forward to more effects of these treatments in clinical treatment.
