Palliative surgery is helpful in treating rectal cancer

Rectal cancer is a disease caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. There are many ways to treat rectal cancer . Today, experts will introduce two methods of treating rectal cancer: local tumor electrocoagulation and palliative surgery.

1. Local electrocoagulation of rectal tumors is a method for treating rectal cancer. It does not negate the therapeutic effect of other radical surgeries. It mainly selects the corresponding surgical method based on the location, size, infiltration and metastasis of the rectal tumor. The prognosis of the tumor is mainly related to whether local lymph node metastasis occurs. The main shortcoming of local electrocoagulation of tumors in treating rectal cancer is the lack of understanding and knowledge of whether distant metastasis of lymph nodes occurs.

2. Palliative surgery for rectal cancer is suitable for patients whose rectal cancer can be removed, but who are not suitable for radical surgery due to old age, frailty, severe cardiovascular disease, liver or abdominal distant metastasis, deep local infiltration of rectal tumor or wide metastasis. Palliative treatment can be performed to improve the patient's quality of life and relieve obstruction. Currently, the clinical practice is to selectively remove the intestinal segment with tumors, especially for patients with intestinal obstruction, colostomy can be performed when necessary. This is also a method for treating rectal cancer.
