Introduction to several effective methods for treating rectal cancer

Rectal cancer is a tumor disease that is extremely harmful to the human body. Patients often experience symptoms such as blood in the stool and increased bowel movements. If rectal cancer is not treated in time, it may be life-threatening. What are the effective methods for treating rectal cancer ? The following will tell you about the effective methods for treating rectal cancer.

Generally, the most effective treatments for colorectal cancer are:

1. Chemotherapy: It is mostly used as an adjuvant therapy before and after rectal cancer surgery. This method of treating rectal cancer is used before rectal cancer surgery. Although it cannot improve the patient's survival rate, it can reduce the tumor to a certain extent, which is conducive to surgical resection and preservation of sphincter function and can reduce the chance of tumor spread during and after surgery. Many studies have shown that the use of sufficient combined chemotherapy after surgery can improve the patient's survival rate. However, since most patients are weak after surgery and cannot tolerate the toxic side effects of chemotherapy, it is often combined with biological immunotherapy in clinical practice to reduce its toxic side effects.

2. Surgical treatment: It is the first choice for early-stage rectal cancer treatment, and the treatment effect is obvious. Surgical treatment of rectal cancer can also be used for patients in the middle and late stages who do not have surgical contraindications. It can remove the metastatic lesions of rectal cancer, but the effect is not ideal. Whether it is early or late-stage rectal cancer, surgical treatment is prone to recurrence and metastasis. Postoperative combined biological immunotherapy, using autoimmune cells for anti-cancer treatment, can effectively consolidate the surgical effect and effectively prevent cancer metastasis and recurrence. This is one of the effective methods for treating rectal cancer.

3. Radiotherapy: This method of treating rectal cancer should be used with caution. Not only should its efficacy on the cancer lesions be considered, but also its damage to the adjacent organs around the rectum should be considered. It is generally used only as an adjuvant treatment for rectal cancer surgery. It has certain contraindications and should be used with caution by patients with poor physical conditions. It is often combined with biological immunotherapy in clinical practice to reduce its toxic side effects.

The above is an introduction to the effective methods of treating rectal cancer. I believe everyone should have some understanding of this. These methods of treating rectal cancer are all optional. Patients should choose the appropriate method of treating rectal cancer according to their actual condition and must be cautious.
