The main treatment for colorectal cancer is surgery

As long as it is discovered in time and treated correctly, colon cancer is relatively easy to cure completely. The treatment of early colon cancer is also one of the key focuses of our experts. Generally speaking, the treatment methods of colon cancer are mainly the following two aspects.

1. Surgical treatment

The only radical cure for colorectal cancer is early removal of the tumor. If cancer metastasis is found during exploration, but the diseased intestinal curve is still free, the colorectal cancer should be removed in principle to avoid intestinal obstruction in the future; on the other hand, the tumor is often eroded, bleeding or accompanied by secondary infection, and resection can improve the overall condition. For patients with extensive cancer metastasis, if the diseased intestinal segment can no longer be removed, palliative surgery such as fistula or shortcut should be used to treat colorectal cancer.

2. Cryotherapy

This treatment method for intestinal cancer uses liquid nitrogen as a refrigerant. After fully exposing the tumor through an anoscope, a shell-shaped cryotherapy head of varying sizes is used to contact the tumor tissue, which can effectively kill and destroy the tumor tissue. When patients in the middle and late stages cannot undergo surgery, it can be used as appropriate to reduce the patient's pain and avoid having an artificial anus. It can also achieve satisfactory results when combined with chemotherapy.
