Causes of peritoneal metastasis of colon cancer

summary

The late stage of colon cancer is prone to metastasis, especially the peritoneal metastasis. If there are many metastases, the general surgical treatment may not be able to achieve the desired results. In fact, in the beginning, for patients with advanced colon cancer metastasis, surgical treatment may not be a good choice. Now let's talk about colon cancer metastasis to peritoneum, how to do if the operation is not successful.

Causes of peritoneal metastasis of colon cancer

Radiotherapy: radiotherapy is a good choice for patients with abdominal metastasis of colon cancer. On the one hand, the scope of radiotherapy is more accurate and limited, and the side effects on the whole body are relatively small. It has a very good effect on controlling the growth of tumor cells, but the radiation itself can't identify tumor cells, so taking this kind of treatment, for example, it will kill the normal cells together, which is the biggest disadvantage of radiotherapy.

Chemotherapy: chemotherapy for patients with metastasis, because metastasis is likely to spread to the whole body, and the scope of chemotherapy drugs is just the whole body, so the killing of tumor cells is relatively clean. But the disadvantage is that the scope of action is relatively large. Like radiotherapy, chemotherapy will kill the normal cells in the body, so the side effects are also relatively large.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: with the development and research of traditional Chinese medicine in recent years, it is found that it can indeed improve the quality of life and prolong life of cancer patients, because the concept of traditional Chinese medicine treatment is considered from the overall point of view. However, cancer treatment, because the market is now fishy eyed, to a large extent, are fraud behavior, treatment needs to be careful, in order to prevent being deceived.

matters needing attention

Although the above treatments can play a very positive role in the treatment of patients with colon cancer, it should be decided according to the actual situation of patients, especially when taking radiotherapy and chemotherapy, because it is a blow to the body again and again, it is likely that patients can not stand this kind of treatment cycle. And traditional Chinese medicine treatment, because it follows some traditional treatment rules, is also likely to delay the disease. Generally speaking, the treatment based on syndrome differentiation is a good choice.
