Can colon cancer be cured?

The late stage of colon cancer is a very painful period for patients. At this time, cancer cells will metastasize widely in the body, causing the patient's immunity to decline, or even death. Scientists have confirmed that distant metastasis of colon cancer is the most fundamental cause of death in patients. Is there any scientific treatment method to prevent this?

For a long time, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy have been the main treatments for tumors. They are also effective ways to quickly remove and kill cancer cells, and have become important means of treating tumors in modern medicine. However, for most patients with advanced colon cancer, it is far from enough to only take surgical resection or radiotherapy to control local lesions. Therefore, you must be cautious when choosing a treatment method. Do not treat for the sake of treatment. Choosing the right treatment is crucial.

Surgery causes great damage to the body

Due to the high efficiency and thoroughness of surgical treatment, many cancer patients have seen hope. However, surgical treatment has strict indications and limitations, which restrict its use in most cancer treatments. Moreover, surgical treatment can only target visible cancer cells and is powerless against hidden cancer cells.

Chemotherapy can severely damage normal immunity

The advantage of chemotherapy is that it can kill cancer cells throughout the body and quickly control the spread of cancer cells in the early stages. However, due to its drug resistance, great damage to the human immune system and significant side effects, it has been controversial in recent years.
