Traditional Chinese medicine hospital for colorectal cancer treatment

After a disease like colorectal cancer occurs, how should our patients receive treatment? I believe this is a question that many people are concerned about. In order to help patients with colorectal cancer to better treat the disease, the editor will introduce what are the relevant treatment methods for colorectal cancer. Let’s take a look at the editor’s detailed introduction.

1. Surgical treatment

The surgical method depends on the location of the cancer in the large intestine. There are two systems of submucosal lymphatic plexus and intermuscular lymphatic plexus in the large intestine wall. It is rare for cancer cells to metastasize to the lymphatic system in the intestinal wall. Once cancer cells penetrate the intestinal wall, they spread to the lymphatic system outside the intestinal wall. Once cancer cells spread, doctors will perform surgery to remove the lymphatic tissue adjacent to the cancer and above this plane, so as to achieve the purpose of "radical cure". However, this "radical cure" has a wide range of trauma and great damage to normal body tissues.

(ii) Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is a treatment method that uses chemical drugs to kill tumor cells, inhibit the growth and reproduction of tumor cells, and promote the differentiation of tumor cells. It is a systemic treatment method that has a therapeutic effect on primary lesions, metastatic lesions, and subclinical metastatic lesions. However, chemotherapy kills normal cells and immune (resistance) cells while killing tumor cells. Therefore, chemotherapy is a "burn everything down" treatment method. However, chemotherapy itself has strong toxic side effects, so patients will experience various physical discomforts after receiving treatment. The most common symptoms are malignancy, vomiting, hair loss, loss of appetite, and decreased immunity.

3. Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy has been increasingly valued in the treatment of colorectal cancer. It is divided into two types: comprehensive treatment combined with surgery and simple radiotherapy. ① Preoperative radiotherapy can control the primary lesion, control lymph node metastasis, improve the resection rate and reduce local recurrence. ② Postoperative radiotherapy is suitable for pathological examination to confirm lymph node metastasis, the tumor has obviously infiltrated outside the intestinal wall, and there are residual lesions in the pelvic cavity that cannot be removed.

(IV) Tumor biological immunotherapy

Tumor biological immunotherapy (autologous cell immunotherapy) is a new breakthrough in the treatment of cancer in the medical field in the 21st century. It is the fourth treatment mode after traditional surgery and radiotherapy. Its main treatment principle is that autologous cell immunotherapy refers to the mononuclear cells separated from the patient's peripheral blood, which are activated and amplified in vitro and then injected into the patient's body to directly kill tumor cells or virus-infected cells, regulate and enhance the body's immune function.

We have learned about the treatment methods related to colorectal cancer by reading the article. It is very important to understand the treatment methods related to colorectal cancer, which can help our patients to remove moles and care for the disease more correctly, recover earlier and avoid too much harm caused by the disease, and strive to stay away from such diseases effectively. Due to the different sites of colorectal cancer and the different conditions, patients choose different hospitals, and the cost of surgery is also different. For the sake of their own health, patients should try to choose a tertiary hospital or above when choosing a hospital.
