What are the treatment principles for colon cancer

Everyone knows that colon cancer is a serious tumor disease that endangers human health. If colon cancer patients do not go to regular hospitals for treatment, their bodies will be greatly affected. It is recommended that colon cancer patients must choose an effective method for symptomatic treatment. So, what are the treatment principles for colon cancer?

The clinical treatment principle of colon cancer is mainly surgical resection, with a comprehensive treatment method combining chemotherapy and radiotherapy to reduce the postoperative recurrence rate of cancer and improve the patient's survival rate.
Surgical resection is the main treatment method for follow-up colon cancer surgery. The resection range includes the intestinal loop where the cancer is located and the entire colon mesentery. It can not only remove the cancer itself, but also thoroughly clean the lymph node area where metastasis may occur, thereby achieving the purpose of cure.
In terms of chemotherapy for colon cancer, as the tumor grows and gradually metastasizes to distant sites, 3/4 of patients have metastases at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, adjuvant chemotherapy after treatment is an important part of the comprehensive treatment of colon cancer. The mechanism of chemotherapy is to control and gradually eliminate the residual lesions in the body after treatment.
