The cure rate of colorectal cancer in young people

What is the cure rate of colorectal cancer? The occurrence of many diseases will have a great impact on the body, especially some malignant diseases. The occurrence of colorectal cancer has no age limit. It used to be more common in the middle-aged and elderly, but now it is getting younger and younger, so treatment is imminent. So what is the cure rate of this disease?

What is the cure rate of colorectal cancer? For patients with early colorectal tumors, it mainly depends on whether appropriate treatment methods are taken in time. Generally speaking, early colorectal tumors are small and have not spread or metastasized. The most effective treatment method is surgical resection. The 5-year survival rate after resection of early colorectal tumors can reach more than 60%. After surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other treatments can be used for a certain period of time to prevent recurrence.
For patients with advanced intestinal tumors, whether they can be cured depends mainly on whether the treatment method is appropriate and the patient's physical condition. Can advanced intestinal tumors be cured? The main clinical treatment methods for advanced intestinal tumors are chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Arterial chemotherapy is the main chemotherapy method for advanced intestinal tumors. It 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 based on tumor relief, symptom relief, and treatment-related toxicity. Radiotherapy is also one of the most clinically used treatment methods for advanced intestinal tumors. 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 more harmful to the body and should be used with caution in patients with advanced intestinal tumors with poor physical function.
In addition, in view of the toxic side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the human body, traditional Chinese medicine can be combined with treatment in the treatment of advanced intestinal tumors to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. For patients with advanced intestinal tumors with a wide range of metastasis, weak physical functions, and difficulty in tolerating 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 has a significant effect in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.
