How to prevent metastasis of rectal cancer after operation

summary

I heard a friend say that one of his colleagues had rectal cancer and metastasized after surgery. He died soon after. I checked some information and learned that the mortality rate of postoperative metastasis is high. Now I'll talk about how to prevent metastasis after rectal cancer surgery.

How to prevent metastasis of rectal cancer after operation

The first is that rectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in gastrointestinal tract. The incidence rate is only next to the stomach and esophagus cancer. It is the most common part of colorectal cancer (about 65%). Most of the patients in the age of 40 and above are under 15% years of age. The proportion of men and women is 1 2-3:, and the ratio of men to women is 2-3:.

Second: the recurrence symptoms of rectal cancer are serious, due to the invasion of ureter, bladder, vagina, etc., there are corresponding symptoms of recurrence of rectal cancer in urinary system and vaginal bleeding. However, patients with early recurrence are often asymptomatic and only found in routine follow-up. Therefore, postoperative patients with rectal cancer should adhere to consolidation therapy after surgery.

Third: in recent years, many studies have confirmed that the effect of surgical resection of rectal cancer metastases is not as pessimistic as originally thought. If the primary lesion can be resected at the same time, the survival rate can be improved. In case of single metastasis, segmental or wedge-shaped hepatectomy is feasible. If multiple liver metastases can not be resected, the first use of arterialization measures, namely ligation of the artery.

matters needing attention

Although surgery can reduce the pain of patients to a certain extent, it can not completely eliminate the disease. In order to control the disease more effectively, we should start with postoperative nursing: regular review, timely detection of problems, so as to better maintain health.
