Immunological examination to predict the prognosis of rectal cancer

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, people's living standards have been continuously improved, health work has achieved results, and the prognosis of colorectal cancer has gradually become similar to that of developed countries. However, in the past 50 years, the development of medical resources has been slower than the increase in cancer patients, and the cost of treating cancer is very expensive.

For some cancer patients in the later stages of treatment, the treatment effect is still unsatisfactory. If the whole society pays attention to prevention work, smoking ban alone is related to one-third of the total number of cancers, and 200,000 to 300,000 cancer patients may be reduced each year. Therefore, we should advocate early treatment when there is a disease, prevent disease when there is no disease, protect physical health, reduce the torture of disease, save a lot of money, and enter a well-off society with a healthy body.
