How long can you live with colon cancer

We all know that many people die from cancer, so people who suffer from this disease are worried that they will not live long. If colon cancer enters the late stage, it will pose a threat to the patient's life safety. This is also the most important issue for patients with this disease. So how long can you live with colon cancer?

The choice of treatment for advanced colon cancer is an important factor affecting the survival of patients with advanced colon cancer. The main clinical treatments for advanced colon cancer include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. Arterial chemotherapy is the main chemotherapy for advanced colon cancer, which can shrink the tumor to a certain extent, but it will also increase toxic and side effects as the treatment time increases. Therefore, chemotherapy drugs and chemotherapy time should be determined based on tumor relief, symptom relief, and treatment-related toxicity.

Radiotherapy is also one of the most commonly used treatments for advanced colon cancer. It can shrink tumors and improve symptoms. It is usually used in combination with chemotherapy, and the effect is better than radiotherapy alone or chemotherapy alone. However, radiotherapy is very harmful to the body and should be used with caution in patients with advanced colon cancer who have poor physical function. In addition, in view of the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the human body, traditional Chinese medicine can be combined with treatment in the treatment of advanced colon cancer to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. It can be used in conjunction with chemotherapy to reduce toxic and side effects and achieve good results.

For patients with advanced colon cancer who have a wide range of metastasis, weak physical functions, and who can no longer tolerate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for conservative treatment. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, the long-term effect is good, and it plays a significant role in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.

In addition, the improvement of the patient's physical function is also an important factor affecting the survival of advanced colon cancer. Only when the patient's own immunity is improved can the patient resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, improving immune function and enhancing resistance to tumors is extremely important for patients with advanced rectal cancer. In terms of diet, the intake of fat in the diet should be reduced; the intake of cellulose in the diet should be increased; strong alcohol, spicy, hot, and irritating foods should be avoided. In addition, Chinese medicine that has the effect of strengthening the spleen and kidney can also be taken to improve immunity.

Through the above introduction, now everyone knows how long you can live with colon cancer. It is recommended that everyone can increase the prevention and treatment of this disease in daily life. For patients who have already suffered from this disease, they can also receive symptomatic treatment based on the cause, thereby speeding up their recovery and allowing themselves to return to a healthy life as soon as possible.
