Cost of chemotherapy for half a year after colon cancer surgery

Surgery and chemotherapy are now the common treatments for colon cancer. Many patients are very concerned about the cost of chemotherapy for colon cancer. The cost of chemotherapy is related to the chemotherapy drugs used and the dosage. The cost is determined by factors such as the drug, chemotherapy method, and whether adjuvant drugs are used. When some drugs exceed a certain dosage, the cost will also increase. Therefore, the cost of chemotherapy should be determined according to the specific treatment situation.

1. Arterial infusion: Arterial infusion chemotherapy is one of the important means of comprehensive treatment of malignant tumors. Arterial infusion is a precise targeted drug delivery, which allows high concentrations of anticancer drugs to be concentrated in the local tumor, effectively killing cancer cells, improving the results of surgical treatment, significantly improving clinical symptoms, with mild adverse reactions, and is simple and safe.
2. Intraluminal chemotherapy: During laparotomy, the intestinal tract is ligated about 8-10 cm away from both ends of the tumor. Then 30 mg/kg body weight of 5-fluorouracil and 50 ml of normal saline are injected into the intestinal cavity where the tumor is located. After 30 minutes, conventional surgery is performed to increase the 3-year, 5-year and 8-year survival rates.
3. Portal vein perfusion: 50% of colorectal cancer patients will develop liver metastasis after treatment of the primary lesion. To prevent the occurrence of liver metastasis after surgery, 5-fluorouracil is perfused into the portal vein after surgery, which has a good effect. However, its clinical efficacy needs to be further confirmed.
There is no fixed standard for the cost of chemotherapy for colon cancer, which is affected by some factors. Arterial perfusion is mainly a treatment method to inhibit and kill cancer cells. This treatment method has a good effect in inhibiting and killing cancer cells, and will not cause damage to normal tissues. The above is the relevant introduction. I hope that after reading it, everyone will have a direction for the treatment of colon cancer.

Experts remind that for patients with heavy family burdens, the earlier the disease is discovered and the earlier the treatment is, the more money will be saved. Delaying and hesitation will only make the disease more difficult to treat, and the cost will snowball.
