Treatment of recurrent colon cancer

After surgical treatment of colon cancer, patients must prevent recurrence, so patients must have a certain understanding of measures to prevent recurrence of colon cancer and reduce the chance of recurrence of colon cancer after surgery through effective measures.

How to prevent colon cancer from recurring? Please see below for details:

First of all, the treatment of primary cancer should be thorough, and anti-recurrence treatment should be followed up after recovery.

Radical surgery, reasonable radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and planned integrated treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can completely prevent recurrence of early-stage cancer. However, it is difficult to completely eliminate the remaining cancer cells in the body through one-time or intensive treatment of mid- to late-stage cancer. Therefore, after regular treatment, it is necessary to promptly carry out anti-recurrence treatment to inhibit the further development of cancer that was not discovered before. Generally speaking, after the clinical symptoms of cancer disappear after treatment, anti-recurrence treatment should be continued for more than 5 years.

Secondly, eliminate or avoid various factors that cause cancer recurrence and actively treat chronic diseases related to cancer.

Special attention should also be paid to some intrinsic carcinogenic factors. All cancer patients should maintain a happy mood and avoid long-term, excessive mental stress and adverse stimulation. Chronic diseases that may induce cancer will reduce the body's immune function and affect the patient's local or systemic disease prevention ability, so active treatment should be given.

Secondly, strengthen physical exercise to improve the body's immune function and disease resistance.

During the recovery process of cancer patients, they should carry out some exercises such as qigong, tai chi, jogging, etc. according to their own actual situation to promote the recovery of patients' whole body functions, improve the body's immune function, and reduce the chance of cancer recurrence.

Finally, you should check yourself regularly and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.

Patients should pay attention to observe whether there are new tumors, nodules, ulcers, etc. in and around the original lesion, and whether there is any new pain. In addition, they should also pay attention to changes in the whole body, such as gradually worsening fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, anemia, etc. Once the above situation occurs, they should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time and take remedial measures as soon as possible.
