What are the symptoms of rectal cancer metastasis?

Symptoms of rectal cancer metastasis generally include frequent urination, urgency, perineal pain, liver enlargement, etc., and generally require timely medical treatment and appropriate treatment.

Rectal cancer refers to cancer from the dentate line to the junction of the rectum and sigmoid colon, and is one of the common malignant tumors of the digestive tract. Rectal cancer is located low and can be easily diagnosed by rectal diagnosis and sigmoidoscopy. However, due to its deep location in the pelvic cavity and complex anatomical relationships, it is easy to metastasize if the treatment is not thorough. Since the rectum is close to the bladder, urethra, perineum and other parts, it is easy to metastasize to nearby areas. When it metastasizes to the bladder and urethra, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating will appear. When it metastasizes to the perineum, symptoms of perineal pain will appear. At the same time, the liver is the main target organ for blood metastasis of rectal cancer, so when it metastasizes to the liver, symptoms such as hepatomegaly and jaundice will appear.

After the patient becomes ill, he or she can generally be treated with surgery. Common surgical methods include abdominoperineal resection, anterior resection of rectal cancer, anal sphincter rectal cancer resection, etc. After surgery, auxiliary treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy are also required. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs include platinum injection, platinum injection, paclitaxel injection, etc.

In addition to the above-mentioned metastasis symptoms, there are other metastasis symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and vomiting, limb dysfunction, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time and receive targeted treatment or treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
