Is sigmoid colon tumor resection a good treatment?

Sigmoid colon tumors are relatively harmful, especially in the late stage and if there are malignant lesions, it will directly threaten life, so it is necessary to perform surgical resection and regular check-ups after the operation to avoid recurrence.

1. We know that colon cancer is a very harmful disease and can be said to be a ferocious terminator of people's lives. And once discovered, it is often in the middle or late stages. So what is the prognosis of mid-to-late stage colon cancer? This issue is of great concern to patients and their families. We know that the prognosis of colon cancer is not only related to the specific stage of the patient's colon cancer, but also to the patient's treatment method and the effectiveness of various aspects of treatment. Patients should not avoid treatment simply because the disease is in the advanced stage.

2. Sigmoid colon cancer cannot be cured by surgery. Because colon cancer, like other cancers, cannot be cured, surgery actually plays a role in control. But there is no doubt that if early-stage colon cancer undergoes surgery, the prognosis will be much better than that of mid- and late-stage cancer.

3. Even if radical surgery is performed for sigmoid colon cancer, 25% of colon cancer patients will have symptoms of metastasis, and 35% of rectal cancer patients may have recurrence. It is recommended that in order to have a good prognosis, colon cancer should be detected as early as possible and treated in a regular hospital.

4. Surgery for sigmoid colon cancer can control the disease, but colon cancer may recur even after surgical resection. Therefore, after the operation, several courses of chemotherapy are needed, and when necessary, even multiple treatment methods can be used in combination with the treatment. Can be fully controlled.

5. Surgery for sigmoid colon cancer can control the disease, but in order to reduce the recurrence of colon cancer, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital regularly to receive blood tests and other examinations within 5 years after surgery.
