Treatment of early stage colon cancer

What are the treatments for early colon cancer? As we all know, many people have almost no obvious symptoms in the early stages of colon cancer. This is also the reason why people cannot discover their physical condition in time. For this reason, it is very necessary to understand the relevant information of colon cancer patients. The following editor will take you to learn about the early treatment of colon cancer patients.

Early treatment of colon cancer is very necessary for patients with colon cancer. Once colon cancer is found, it should be actively treated. Surgical resection should be the first choice for early treatment of colon cancer. Most patients can achieve long-term survival after surgical resection. Therefore, once early colon cancer is diagnosed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible, and the surgical method should be selected according to the different locations of the lesions.

Left hemicolectomy: Applicable to cancers of the descending colon and splenic flexure of the colon. The resection may include the left half of the transverse colon, the descending colon, part or all of the sigmoid colon, and the associated mesentery and lymph nodes. After resection, the colon is anastomosed end to end or the colon is anastomosed end to end with the rectum.

Right hemicolectomy is suitable for cancers of the cecum, ascending colon, and hepatic flexure of the colon. Cancers of the hepatic flexure also require removal of most of the transverse colon and lymph nodes of the right gastroepiploic artery. After resection, the ileus and colon are anastomosed end-to-end or end-to-side.

For the early treatment of colon cancer that is difficult to tolerate surgical resection, a comprehensive treatment model of radiotherapy and chemotherapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine can also be adopted. Chemotherapy is widely used in the early treatment of colon cancer, and the efficacy of combined chemotherapy is better than that of single-drug chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy is used in the early treatment of colon cancer, and its efficacy is better than chemotherapy alone or radiotherapy alone. In addition, in view of the harm of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy to the human body, traditional Chinese medicine can be combined with treatment in the early treatment of colon cancer to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity. After the early treatment of colon cancer, colon cancer patients should also carry out correct daily care to speed up the recovery of body functions.

In life, once you discover the existence of colon cancer, you must take it seriously. The earlier treatment measures are taken for colon cancer patients, the better the effect will be, and the patient's recovery will become more promising. I hope the information we provided above can help everyone.
