What are the chemotherapy drugs for colon cancer

Chemotherapy drugs for colorectal cancer have certain side effects on patients, so patients should consider combining treatment with biological therapy, which can alleviate the condition, reduce damage, and improve the quality of life. Patients with weak bodies due to colon cancer need chemotherapy. However, chemotherapy drugs still have certain toxic side effects and can also cause damage to weak people.

Improving the patient's physical condition is the fundamental solution. It is recommended that patients can adopt a comprehensive treatment method combined with traditional Chinese medicine, such as taking ginsenosides, cordyceps sinensis, etc., which can enhance the body's tolerance, reduce the side effects of chemotherapy drugs, and improve the effect. The high content of ginsenosides in ginseng extract can improve the patient's physical fitness and improve immunity, achieving the effect of treating cancer. During chemotherapy and radiotherapy, while killing cancer cells, it will also kill normal cells indiscriminately, causing the body's immunity to decline and a series of side effects to occur. As an auxiliary treatment method, you can take some good Chinese medicine according to your own situation. On the one hand, it can reduce the harm caused to patients by the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and on the other hand, it can enhance the treatment effect, increase white blood cells, prevent recurrence and metastasis, and improve the quality of life.

How long you can live after cancer chemotherapy is mainly determined by the effectiveness of the treatment. If the treatment is ideal, it can generally effectively extend the patient's life span by several years. If the patient can consolidate the effects of the treatment in time in the later stages and control the tumor in the later stages to prevent it from worsening and metastasizing, there is a certain chance that the survival time will exceed a few years.

When squeezing the tumor and cutting the lymphatic and blood vessels during intraperitoneal chemotherapy for colorectal cancer surgery, it is possible that cancer cells will fall into the abdominal cavity or that cancer cells that have already spread to the peritoneum will form tiny lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy can directly increase the concentration of anticancer drugs in the abdominal cavity, increase the local cytotoxic effect of the lesion, and reduce systemic adverse reactions. However, the most effective chemotherapy drugs and their dosage and concentration need further research.
