What Chinese medicine can be used to treat advanced rectal cancer

Rectal cancer has a high incidence in my country, especially in the middle and late stages, where patients suffer from severe pain due to the severity of the disease. To relieve the pain of patients in the middle and late stages, they can take symptomatic Chinese medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

The most common form of infiltration of rectal cancer is local invasion, where the tumor invades surrounding tissues or organs, causing corresponding clinical symptoms. Anal incontinence and persistent pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region are caused by rectal cancer invading the sacral plexus. Tumor cells implant and metastasize to the abdominal and pelvic cavity, forming corresponding symptoms and signs. Rectal examination can palpate lumps in the bladder-rectal pouch or the uterine-rectal pouch. The tumor implants and metastasizes extensively in the abdominal and pelvic cavity, forming peritoneal effusion. There are two main ways for distant metastasis of colorectal cancer: lymphatic metastasis and hematogenous metastasis. Tumor cells metastasize to lymph nodes through lymphatic vessels, and can also metastasize to the liver, lungs, bones and other parts through the bloodstream.
