Does early colorectal cancer affect life expectancy?

Early rectal cancer usually does not affect life expectancy. Patients need to actively cooperate with doctors for treatment and do a good job of daily care.

Rectal cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the rectal mucosal epithelium. It may be caused by genetic factors, long-term poor diet, etc. Generally, there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of the disease. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as frequent bowel movements and weight loss may occur. In the early stage of the disease, it can be treated in the hospital through surgical methods such as anterior rectal resection and transabdominal rectal resection and anastomosis, and can be assisted by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Usually, after active and effective treatment, the effect of controlling the disease can be achieved.

During the treatment, if the patient has any uncomfortable symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the disease. Usually, you should maintain a regular schedule, avoid staying up late, and keep a relaxed and happy mood, avoid too many negative emotions, and watch some comedy movies to relax.
