How much does mid-term radiotherapy for rectal cancer cost

Rectal cancer is a type of cancer that grows from the rectum to the dentate line. It is one of the most common cancers in the digestive tract. However, because rectal cancer occurs at a relatively low location, it is often misdiagnosed as rectal digital examination or sigmoidoscopy. However, because rectal cancer occurs deep in the pelvic cavity and has a very complex anatomical relationship, it is generally difficult to completely remove the tumor tissue in clinical surgery, and the recurrence rate after surgery is very high.

At present, from the analysis of clinical cases and related research investigations, the cause of rectal cancer is still not very clear, but based on experience, the incidence of rectal cancer is related to the patient's living environment, eating habits and family genetic factors. In addition, rectal polyps are also an important factor in the incidence of rectal cancer. At present, a more adult cause from the scientific and medical perspective is the excessive intake of animal fat and protein, and insufficient intake of dietary fiber.

The treatment of rectal cancer generally includes surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The course of treatment and the cost of treatment vary according to the patient's condition. Generally, patients with stage II and III pathological staging after rectal cancer surgery need chemotherapy for half a year. According to the specific situation of the disease, the cost of 3-4 courses of chemotherapy is about 5,000-10,000 yuan (including hospitalization costs). However, this depends on the severity of the patient. It is necessary to go to the hospital for detailed examination and follow the doctor's advice.

The current radical surgeries include anterior rectal cancer resection and abdominal perineal resection. The former is suitable for lower rectal cancer that is less than 7CM away from the anus, and the latter is tried for upper rectal cancer that is less than 12CM away from the anus. In addition, there is also anal sphincter-preserving rectal cancer resection, which is suitable for early rectal cancer that is 7-11CM away from the anus. I hope patients can follow the doctor's advice.

Note: This disease is not easy to treat. Early detection, early treatment and timely control of the disease are the most important. In addition, patients should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, not worry too much, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan. There is still great hope of recovery.
