Can colorectal cancer be cured?

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, with a high mortality rate, second only to gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. Because many colorectal cancer patients are not diagnosed until the middle or late stages, mainly because the early symptoms are not obvious. So, can colorectal cancer be cured? Let's take a closer look.

1. Colorectal cancer can be cured in the early stages. After surgical removal of the tumor, combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, it can achieve a cure and the survival rate is relatively high.
2. The treatment of patients with mid- to late-stage colorectal cancer is aimed at controlling tumor development and prolonging the patient's life. Patients in this period live with cancer. Surgery reduces the burden of the tumor, and postoperative radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine are used to control the development of cancer cells. If the cancer cells are controlled ideally, the patient can survive for a long time.
However, clinically, many colorectal cancer patients cannot tolerate surgical removal of the tumor due to poor physical fitness or some specific reasons. Therefore, they can only rely on radiotherapy and chemotherapy to eliminate the tumor in the traditional way. The technology currently being promoted in clinical practice is new tumor elimination technology such as cryotherapy. For example, the advantage of cryotherapy is that the harm to the human body is basically negligible, the targeted effect is strong, and after relieving the patient's tumor burden, it is more effective in combination with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment than using radiotherapy alone, with a higher survival rate and higher quality of life.
