Can peritoneal and lymph node metastasis after colon cancer surgery be treated?

Generally speaking, if patients have peritoneal and lymph node metastasis after colon cancer surgery, they can generally be treated. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Cause: Colon cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs between the junction of the rectum and the sigmoid colon and the dentate line. Its cause is still unclear, and it may be related to genetic factors, environmental factors, and dietary habits. When the disease develops to the late stage, it may cause the spread of cancer cells or the invasive growth of distant organ tissues, thus causing the above situation;

2. Symptoms: Since cancer cells have metastasized extensively, multiple parts of the body will be affected and will have a serious impact on physical health. Therefore, it is necessary to actively cooperate with doctors to take appropriate treatment measures to improve the condition, control the development of the disease, and avoid further aggravation;

3. Treatment methods: For patients in the early or middle stages, surgical removal of the lesions can be used for treatment, and radiotherapy or chemotherapy is also needed as an auxiliary treatment to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the body and prolong the patient's survival time. For patients in the middle and late stages, surgery alone cannot achieve a radical cure, but can only relieve the disease. At this time, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice to take targeted drug therapy, immunotherapy and other methods to help improve the quality of life and extend the life cycle as much as possible.

In daily life, you should maintain an optimistic attitude, actively cooperate with the doctor's medication, and go to the hospital for regular check-ups to understand the specific situation of recovery. You should also pay attention to rest more and ensure adequate sleep time. You should not stay up late for a long time to avoid affecting your health.
