Colon cancer must be treated early

The best time to treat a disease is in its early stages, so treatment of early colon cancer is very necessary. Generally, surgical resection is the preferred method, and most patients can survive long-term after surgical resection. Let's take a look at the treatment of early colon cancer.

Left hemicolectomy: Applicable to cancers of the descending colon and splenic flexure of the colon. The resection may include the left half of the transverse colon, the descending colon, part or all of the sigmoid colon, and the associated mesentery and lymph nodes. After resection, the colon is anastomosed end to end or the colon to the rectum. This is a treatment for early-stage colon cancer.

Right hemicolectomy is suitable for cancers of the cecum, ascending colon, and hepatic flexure of the colon. Cancers of the hepatic flexure also require resection of most of the transverse colon and lymph nodes of the right gastroepiploic artery. After resection, end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis of the ileum and colon is performed.
