Can rectal cancer in the middle and late stages be cured?

The occurrence of rectal cancer has seriously affected our daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to treat it as soon as possible after the disease. There are many ways to treat this disease. Generally, patients will choose surgery, plus radiotherapy and chemotherapy. So, can rectal cancer in the middle and late stages be cured? Let's take a look at the detailed explanation of relevant experts.

1. For patients with mid- to late-stage rectal cancer, the cancer cells have already spread and metastasized. If surgery is chosen for treatment, the radical cure is not very ideal. Moreover, only palliative local resection can be chosen, which is not very effective for comprehensive treatment. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine can be considered for the treatment of the disease, with the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine as the treatment principle.

2. Chemotherapy is a very common treatment method in clinical practice. While it can kill cancer cells, it also has a certain destructive effect on normal cells in the human body, thus having a counterproductive effect. Therefore, during the treatment process, the dosage and concentration of the drug should be carefully measured according to the patient's condition to avoid abnormal digestion and bone marrow hematopoietic function, as well as various toxic side effects.

3. During radiotherapy, if combined with traditional Chinese medicine, it can not only replenish qi and blood, but also increase the number of white blood cells, and at the same time greatly help increase the body's immune ability. Maintaining a normal body's immunity is very effective for recovery from illness.

Experts remind: When people experience severe abdominal pain, blood in the stool, diarrhea and other abnormal conditions, it is very likely that rectal cancer has developed into the late stage. However, patients at this time should not be too scared and lose confidence in treatment. They must be courageous and actively cooperate with doctors for diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, family members should also cheer them up by their side, which can still increase their survival time.

Colorectal cancer is a lifestyle disease. Currently, it has jumped to the second place in the cancer rankings. In Beijing, the incidence rate of colorectal cancer is getting higher and higher, and its mortality rate has also jumped to the front.

The occurrence of rectal cancer is mainly related to a high-fat, low-fiber diet and lack of exercise. This diet is particularly common among white-collar workers. Many white-collar workers do not care about not having a bowel movement for one or two days, thinking it is no big deal. However, when the stool is stuck in the intestine, it becomes increasingly dry and difficult, which damages the intestinal wall over time, leading to toxin accumulation and cell degeneration, and causing rectal cancer.

Since rectal cancer is closely related to diet and exercise, the cure rate of rectal cancer is quite high as long as it is discovered early. Because rectal cancer is a glandular tumor, early surgical resection is generally not a big deal! We will make a revolution in these two aspects to block the enemy's attack and turn danger into safety.
