Where can rectum cancer be treated

summary

My cousin suffered from rectal cancer. When he was diagnosed, his family couldn't accept the fact. Fortunately, it was discovered early and well controlled so that the disease didn't recur. Let's see where rectal cancer can be treated.

Where can rectum cancer be treated

One is palliative operation. If the local invasion of cancer is serious or the metastasis is extensive and can not be cured, in order to relieve the obstruction and reduce the patient's pain, palliative resection is feasible. Limited resection of the intestinal segment with cancer, suture the distal end of rectum, and take the sigmoid colon for stoma (hartma operation). If it is not possible, only sigmoid colostomy should be performed, especially in patients with intestinal obstruction.

Second, radiotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of rectal cancer. At present, it is considered that the survival time of patients with locally late middle and low rectal cancer is longer than that of patients with locally late middle and low rectal cancer after preoperative concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Patients should pay attention to take appropriate treatment according to their own conditions.

Third, chemotherapy is recommended for patients with rectal cancer whose postoperative pathological stage is stage II and stage III. The total chemotherapy time is half a year.

matters needing attention

The patients with rectal cancer need to return to the hospital regularly for chemotherapy, and regularly review the white blood cell count. Usually in the nursing of patients with rectal cancer, if the phenomenon of artificial anal stenosis or defecation difficulty occurs, we should inform the doctor in time to solve it.
