Can I live more than ten years after colon cancer surgery?

Can you live more than ten years after colorectal cancer surgery? Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor disease with a relatively high mortality rate. There are many patients with colorectal cancer in my country. Most patients are more concerned about the survival rate of colorectal cancer. So, what is the survival rate of colorectal cancer? Let me introduce it to you.

The survival rate of colorectal cancer is too general. We need to understand it from two different aspects, because there are too many factors that affect the survival rate. First, after colorectal cancer is discovered, the survival rate is very low if it is not treated. Second, when you find out that you have colorectal cancer, you receive treatment in time and recover after surgery. The total five-year survival rate after radical surgery can reach more than 50%. If it is an early-stage patient, the five-year survival rate can reach more than 80%, while it is only about 30% in the late stage.

Improving the patient's ability to fight tumors has developed rapidly in recent years. Interferon, interleukin, transfer factor, tumor necrosis factor, etc. have been gradually and widely used. They can not only improve the patient's immunity, but also cooperate with chemotherapy. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment enhances the body's disease resistance and reduces the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Some traditional Chinese medicines have direct anti-cancer effects.

Factors that affect the survival rate of colorectal cancer mainly include the patient's own condition, the effect of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, which are all important factors affecting the survival rate of colorectal cancer. However, among these factors, postoperative rehabilitation and conditioning occupy a very important position. First of all, postoperative care for colorectal cancer patients should gradually develop the habit of regular bowel movements. In addition, studies have shown that patients receiving colorectal cancer treatment can reduce the chance of cancer recurrence and increase their survival rate through regular exercise, such as walking.

If the surgical treatment is not well recovered, there will be many recurrence symptoms, and the effect is not very good. During the medication period, attention must be paid to supportive treatment and drugs that reduce side effects must be used. Chemotherapy for patients whose tumors cannot be removed has a certain effect of alleviating symptoms and controlling tumor growth, but the effect is poor and the duration is short. If the patient's general condition is poor, the side effects are significant, which will aggravate the condition and should not be used.
