Two major factors affecting the survival of patients with advanced colon cancer

How long can patients with advanced colon cancer live? I believe this is the issue that patients and their families are most concerned about. There are many factors that affect this issue, such as the method of advanced treatment and the patient's own physical fitness. Only active treatment can effectively prolong the survival of patients with advanced colon cancer.

Important factor 1: Choice of treatment method

An important factor affecting how long patients with advanced colon cancer can live is the choice of treatment. The main clinical treatments for advanced colon cancer are radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are one of the most commonly used treatments for advanced colon cancer. They can shrink tumors and improve symptoms. They are usually used in combination and are more effective than radiotherapy or chemotherapy alone. However, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are more harmful to the body and should be used with caution in patients with advanced colon cancer who have poor physical function.

In view of the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy on the human body, the treatment of advanced colon cancer can be combined with the treatment of ginsenoside Rh2 of traditional Chinese medicine to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity, reduce toxic and side effects, and achieve good therapeutic effects. For patients with advanced colon cancer with a wide range of metastasis, weak physical functions, and difficulty in tolerating chemotherapy and radiotherapy, conservative treatment with ginsenoside Rh2 of traditional Chinese medicine can be used. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the long-term effect is good and has a significant effect in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.

Important factor 2: physical fitness

The patient's physical fitness is also an important factor affecting how long a patient can live in the late stage of colon cancer. Only when the patient's own immunity is improved can the patient resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, improving immune function and enhancing resistance to tumors is extremely important for patients with advanced rectal cancer.
