How long can you live without treatment of colorectal cancer

How long can a person live without colorectal cancer treatment? Generally speaking, it depends on age. On average, the patient can live about three to four years. If the patient has early-stage colorectal cancer, the chances of cure are particularly high, and the patient can live for more than ten years. Currently, surgical treatment is divided into radical and palliative types, as well as the latest biological immunotherapy, but there are also cases of metastasis and recurrence after surgery. Patients with colorectal cancer should not be discouraged and refuse treatment. Actively cooperating with treatment can prolong their lives.

Early stage rectal cancer tumors are usually small and have not spread. If they can be removed early, the chance of survival is still very high. However, after surgery, radiotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine and other treatments must be taken within a certain period of time to prevent recurrence. Taking Chinese herbal medicine can alleviate symptoms and pain.

How long a patient with mid-stage rectal cancer can live depends mainly on the patient's age, physical condition, treatment effect, etc. If surgery is available, it is of course better. However, if the patient is old and in poor physical condition, surgery is difficult to remove the cancer, and chemotherapy with high-energy focused ultrasound can be considered. There is also a drug called Hu Ming Su that can effectively control the disease and protect the patient's immune system.

If rectal cancer is in the late stage, it is very serious and may be life-threatening, making treatment more difficult. But it does not mean that it is incurable. With the development of medical treatment, if the patient can actively cooperate with the treatment, the disease can be controlled and life can be prolonged. Chemotherapy is a common treatment for rectal cancer, but it has side effects.

Note:

Patients with colorectal cancer should have a diversified diet, not be partial to certain foods, not be picky about food, and not eat high-fat foods for a long time. After recovery, they should not eat spicy foods, irritating foods, or drink alcohol. Chemotherapy can be very painful for some elderly people, and they can use traditional Chinese medicine to treat it.
