In order to prevent this situation, let me introduce to you the treatment of colon cancer, never give up halfway.

How about the effect of colon cancer

The first is colon cancer, a common digestive tract cancer occurring in the colon. With the improvement of people's living standard and the change of diet structure, the incidence rate of colon cancer is increasing year by year. Getting a disease is not terrible, as long as we face it actively and bravely, we can overcome the disease, but the treatment of cancer needs a relatively long process, experts remind us that colon cancer treatment must not give up halfway.

Second, the recurrence rate of colon cancer is 30% - 50%. In order to prevent postoperative recurrence and metastasis of colon cancer, patients should be followed up regularly after discharge. It is generally advocated to review every 2-3 months in the first year, every 3-6 months in the second-5 years, and every other year or so after 5 years until life. Some colon cancer patients in the first few years after surgery, strictly abide by the doctor's advice, careful follow-up colonoscopy, but due to the passage of time, ignored the importance of follow-up, which laid a hidden danger for the recurrence and metastasis of colon cancer.

Third, adjuvant chemotherapy should be used to improve the success rate of operation, which can effectively prevent the recurrence and metastasis of colon cancer. When it comes to chemotherapy, most patients are afraid of a series of side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia and even hair loss. However, with the rapid development of medical level, the emergence of targeted oral chemotherapeutics has made an innovative breakthrough in chemotherapeutics. Targeted oral chemotherapy drugs such as capecitabine are different from traditional chemotherapy drugs. After entering the human body, it must be under the action of enzymes in tumor cells to produce anti-virus effect, which has little damage to normal human cells. Moreover, patients can receive chemotherapy at home, which not only reduces the trouble of going to the hospital, but also reduces the pain of chemotherapy.

If colon cancer patients are stressed, irritable and worried about the treatment effect, it is likely to cause the decline of immune function, leading to tumor recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, to reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence of colon cancer, patients need to maintain an optimistic mood, with a reasonable diet, and pay attention to rest.
