Can mid- to late-stage colorectal cancer be cured?

Can mid- to late-stage colorectal cancer be cured? Colorectal cancer is caused by the malignant transformation of intestinal tissue cells and is a common malignant tumor in the digestive system. Because the early symptoms are not obvious, many people will ignore them, which delays the best time for treatment. The cure rate in the mid- to late-stage is low, but the treatment effect is still inseparable from the choice of treatment method.

For patients with mid- to late-stage colorectal cancer, improving their condition mainly depends on whether the treatment method is appropriate and the patient's physical condition. The main methods for treating advanced colorectal cancer clinically are chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and biological therapy. Arterial chemotherapy is the main chemotherapy method for advanced rectal cancer, which can shrink the tumor to a certain extent, but it will also increase toxic and side effects as the treatment time increases. Therefore, advanced colorectal cancer is often treated with comprehensive treatment.
For patients with advanced rectal cancer who have a wide range of metastasis, weak physical functions, and can no longer tolerate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, comprehensive treatment, although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, has good long-term effects and plays a significant role in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.
On the other hand, the improvement of the patient's physical function is also an important factor affecting the condition of patients with mid-to-late stage rectal cancer. Only with good physical function and strong immunity can one resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, it is extremely important for patients to improve immune function and enhance resistance to tumors. In terms of diet, try to reduce the intake of fat, increase the intake of fiber in the diet, and respond to the invasion of tumors with an optimistic and positive attitude.
