What to do in late stage of intestinal cancer

What should I do if I have advanced colorectal cancer? Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract. Although it is located low, it is not easy to perform a thorough surgery because it is located deep in the pelvic cavity and has a complex anatomical position. Moreover, it is easy to relapse after surgery. In my country, the main population suffering from colorectal cancer is middle-aged people around 45 years old. However, in recent years, the incidence rate among young people has been increasing, and the situation is very serious. The symptoms of advanced colorectal cancer are mainly changes in bowel habits, bloody stools, bloody stools, and sometimes constipation and diarrhea.

In the late stage of colorectal cancer, the stool will gradually become thinner, defecation will become difficult, the whole person will lose weight, and even cachexia may occur. Since colorectal cancer is a relatively serious disease, it is not easy to treat and often recurs, so in the late stage of colorectal cancer, surgical treatment is often used. Surgery is divided into radical surgery and palliative surgery. Different physical conditions can choose different surgical methods, which requires reasonable selection based on their specific circumstances. In the late stage of colorectal cancer, some people will choose radiotherapy. Radiotherapy occupies an important position in the treatment of colorectal cancer. In the late stage of colorectal cancer, there is also a treatment called chemotherapy, which takes a relatively long time and may last up to half a year.

In the late stage of colorectal cancer, local recurrence can be treated. If the local recurrence is limited in scope and there is no recurrence or metastasis in other parts, surgical exploration can be performed to try to remove it. In the late stage of colorectal cancer, doctors recommend surgical treatment. At this time, you should follow the doctor's advice, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and take appropriate medications, which can increase the possibility of recovery.

Finally, patients must have confidence. "Late stage" does not mean "incurable", and late stage does not mean "lack of life". As long as the treatment is regular, there is hope that late stage colorectal cancer can be cured!
