Cost of chemotherapy after colorectal cancer surgery

How much does chemotherapy cost after colorectal cancer surgery? This is a question that many patients are concerned about. Generally, a chemotherapy session costs 2,000 yuan, but due to different medications, there will be large differences. As the duration of chemotherapy for colorectal cancer increases, its treatment toxicity is gradually increasing, and it has no significant effect on prolonging the survival of colorectal cancer patients.

Chemotherapy drugs and chemotherapy time should be determined based on tumor relief, symptom relief, and treatment-related toxicity. Improvement of human body function also affects the survival of patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Good body function and strong immunity can resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, improving immune function and enhancing resistance to tumors are extremely important for prolonging the survival of patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

Generally, there are 4-6 courses of treatment. After surgery, the patient is in the postoperative recovery period. Treatment during the recovery period is also particularly important. Because the chances of recurrence and metastasis are very high, residual cancer cells after surgery will occasionally transfer to various parts. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen consolidation after surgery to prevent its recurrence and metastasis. Anti-cancer Chinese patent medicines can be used. Whether it is traditional surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy, interventional Chinese medicine treatment can play a short-term role in reducing toxicity and increasing efficacy, and can inhibit cancer cells in the long term, and control metastasis and recurrence. Chemotherapy is generally four to six times, and each time is three to four weeks. The chemotherapy plan is formulated according to the specific condition. However, chemotherapy has great side effects.
