Different treatments for different stages of colorectal cancer

Intestinal cancer seriously threatens the health of patients and friends. Once you are sick, you must receive timely treatment, but the treatment methods at different stages are also different. According to the different stages of the cancer, taking appropriate treatment methods can achieve the best cure.

Treatment methods for colorectal cancer at different stages:

1. Early stage of colorectal cancer:

When colorectal cancer first develops, the lesions are localized and can be removed surgically. The best treatment for this type of patient is chemotherapy in the short term to verify sensitivity and evaluate effectiveness before surgery. After surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy is performed again according to the same regimen. Chinese medicine can be used in combination with chemotherapy to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and reduce the harm of chemotherapy.

2. Development stage of colorectal cancer

As the colorectal cancer gradually worsens, cancer cells will continue to spread and metastasize. If it metastasizes to the liver or lungs and the lesions are extensive, surgical resection cannot be performed. The target tumor for treatment at this stage should be to shrink the tumor to the extent that it can be surgically removed. The choice of chemotherapy regimen is extremely important. Once it becomes a resectable case, surgery should be performed. If it is a radical surgery, auxiliary treatment of the same regimen should be carried out for another four months after the operation. The side effects of chemotherapy should be treated with Chinese medicine according to the symptoms.

3. Advanced stage of colorectal cancer

Generally speaking, most patients with advanced colorectal cancer cannot undergo resection surgery. At this time, the patients usually have no hope of recovery and need palliative treatment, which is usually a combination of chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.

In short, the treatment methods are different for different stages of colorectal cancer development. However, no matter what stage of colorectal cancer, patients must actively cooperate with the treatment in order to effectively prolong life and improve the quality of life.
