What are the methods of treating rectal cancer

summary

There are many treatment measures for rectal cancer. Just like a former colleague of mine, he found it early, treated it properly, and recovered very well, far beyond expectation. Let's take a look at the methods of treating rectal cancer.

What are the methods of treating rectal cancer

Method 1: surgical treatment of rectal cancer surgical treatment is the first emphasis on surgical resection, and pay attention to the combination of preoperative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other comprehensive treatment, in order to improve the surgical resection rate, reduce the recurrence rate after surgery, improve the survival rate. The principles of surgical treatment for rectal cancer are: (1) radical treatment as far as possible; (2) protection of pelvic autonomic nerve as far as possible, preservation of sexual function, urination function and defecation function, preservation of anus as far as possible, and improvement of quality of life.

Method 2: about half of the patients with rectal cancer have metastasis and recurrence after operation. Except for some early patients, advanced and postoperative patients need chemotherapy. Chemotherapy for rectal cancer is an important treatment besides surgery.

Method 3: radiotherapy for rectal cancer is only suitable for rectal cancer. Because preoperative radiotherapy is not destroyed by surgery, the local blood supply and oxygen condition are good, and the chance of iatrogenic diffusion or metastasis is small. Therefore, preoperative radiotherapy is considered to be more favorable, which can play a role in reducing the stage and intraoperative bleeding. Due to the reasonable staging of postoperative radiotherapy, postoperative radiotherapy is more selective, and the blindness and treatment load of preoperative radiotherapy are reduced.

matters needing attention

It is impossible to completely solve the problem when cancer is treated with drugs alone. Reasonable exercise can not only restore physical strength and improve disability, but also make the patients have spiritual sustenance. Family members should comfort the patients and let them have enough courage to face the treatment.
