How long can patients with advanced colon cancer live after surgery

Although there are many treatments for colon cancer, this disease can be avoided if everyone can pay more attention to disease prevention. In the process of treating the disease, many patients are very concerned about how long they can live. In fact, the answer to this question cannot be generalized.

The main clinical treatments for advanced colon cancer include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and biological therapy. Arterial chemotherapy is the main chemotherapy for advanced colon cancer, which can shrink the tumor to a certain extent, but it will also increase toxicity and side effects as the treatment time increases. Therefore, chemotherapy drugs and chemotherapy time should be determined based on tumor relief, symptom relief, and treatment-related toxicity.

Radiotherapy is also one of the most commonly used treatments for advanced colon cancer. 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 very harmful to the body and should be used with caution in patients with advanced colon cancer who have poor physical function. In addition, in view of the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the human body, traditional Chinese medicine can be combined with treatment in the treatment of advanced colon cancer to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. It can be used in conjunction with chemotherapy to reduce toxic and side effects and achieve good results.

Treatment methods such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy can reduce the tumor cell load locally or systemically and are effective quickly, but they cannot eradicate tumor cell tissue. They have great systemic toxic side effects and are very likely to cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and hair loss, which can damage the body's immune function, aggravate the patient's condition, and have an adverse effect on the patient's later treatment. The treatment of colon cancer requires a more active and effective method.

The current incidence of colon cancer is very high, so we cannot ignore the prevention measures of the disease. To prevent the disease, we should pay more attention to the details of our lives. If we find changes around us, we should go to the hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible, and do not let our neglect cause the disease to worsen.
