Can colorectal cancer be treated with chemotherapy during pregnancy?

Colorectal cancer is indeed a serious malignant tumor disease with a relatively high mortality rate after the disease occurs. Therefore, we cannot ignore the treatment of such a disease and need timely treatment and care when we are sick. Now let’s introduce whether chemotherapy can be performed during pregnancy for colorectal cancer!

What are the traditional Chinese medicine treatments for colorectal cancer?
1. Chinese medicine preparations Due to the continuous improvement and enhancement of traditional Chinese medicine and the scientific maturity of the Chinese medicine industry, Chinese medicine is no longer limited to decoctions. The emergence of more new types of Chinese medicine preparations has brought good news to more patients.
2. Cryotherapy Nowadays, cryotherapy is the most effective treatment method. It usually uses liquid nitrogen as a refrigerant. After fully exposing the tumor through an anoscope, a shell-shaped cryotherapy head of varying sizes is used to contact the tumor tissue, which can effectively kill and destroy the tumor tissue. It is also suitable for patients in the middle and late stages who cannot undergo surgery, and can reduce the pain of patients.
3. Surgical treatment Early removal of the tumor is the only radical cure for the disease. However, if cancer metastasis has been found but the diseased intestinal curve is still free, the colorectal cancer should be removed in principle to avoid intestinal obstruction in the future; on the other hand, the tumor is often eroded, bleeding or accompanied by secondary infection, and resection can improve the general condition. For patients with extensive cancer metastasis, if the diseased intestinal segment can no longer be removed, palliative surgery such as fistula or shortcut should be performed.
What are the advantages of TCM in treating colorectal cancer? Tumors are local manifestations of systemic diseases. Single surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are far from enough to suppress tumors. Moreover, these methods have great side effects. Only by combining TCM with Chinese medicine can we improve the patient's immunity, eliminate the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, enhance the efficacy, inhibit tumor growth, and promote the gradual shrinkage of tumors. The survival rate is closely related to the early or late treatment. The earlier the treatment, the greater the hope.
Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the main treatment methods for advanced colorectal cancer. The treatment concept of traditional Chinese medicine is consistent with the treatment principles of advanced malignant tumors. Most patients with advanced colorectal cancer have metastatic disease, and conservative treatment can achieve better results.
TCM treatment of advanced colorectal cancer is an important part of the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer, especially for colorectal cancer patients with weak physical functions who cannot tolerate Western medicine or for whom Western medicine has no effect. It can significantly improve symptoms, improve the quality of life of patients, and prolong survival time. Moreover, TCM treatment of advanced colorectal cancer is not only effective, but also low in cost compared to expensive Western medicine treatment, which will not cause financial burden to the patient's family, and is more easily accepted by patients and their families.
I believe we have learned through the editor’s narration how to treat colorectal cancer during pregnancy. We hope to learn about these treatments for colorectal cancer so that when colorectal cancer occurs in the future, people can receive correct treatment and care, and not miss the best time for treatment, so as to avoid too many health impacts caused by diseases such as colorectal cancer, and strive to stay away from the disease as soon as possible and get rid of the troubles of the disease.
