How long can you live after surgery for mid- to late-stage colorectal cancer

Intestinal cancer is a malignant lesion of the gastrointestinal mucosal epithelium caused by environmental and genetic factors. After this type of intestinal cancer occurs, it must be controlled by surgery. But how long can you live after intestinal cancer surgery? Many patients begin to worry. After all, the incidence of intestinal cancer is high and it is a malignant tumor disease. Let's take a look at the consequences of getting such a disease.

Because colorectal cancer in our body is very serious, how long you can live after colorectal cancer surgery can only be controlled after surgical treatment. However, if you do not pay attention to it, colorectal cancer will still recur and metastasize after surgery. This is the key research on how long you can live after colorectal cancer surgery.

Postoperative recurrence is caused by residual cancer cells in the body. Hidden metastases may also be caused by failure to completely remove the lesions during surgery. Therefore, before laparotomy, intra-intestinal chemotherapy for tumors or preoperative enema for rectal cancer can prevent the spread of cancer cells and kill and eliminate cancer cells. Continuing chemotherapy after surgery may increase the 5-year survival rate after colorectal cancer surgery. For patients who cannot be treated surgically or who need to prevent metastasis after surgery, chemotherapy is the only option, but the effect is generally not ideal.

The survival period of each colorectal cancer patient is different, and this issue often involves many factors. It can be said that the most important factor affecting how long a patient can live after colorectal cancer surgery is the treatment of colorectal cancer. At present, the treatment of colorectal cancer with traditional Chinese medicine has been clinically verified. As we all know, from diagnosis to surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, not only is the condition of colorectal cancer patients not under control, but widespread metastasis occurs throughout the body, endangering the patient's life. Because the surgery only removes the visible mass, the cancer cells are still in the body, so recurrence is inevitable. The side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are very large. In the end, the cancer cells are not killed, but the normal cells are killed. Therefore, colorectal cancer patients do not die from the cancer itself, but die from radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Because the occurrence of colorectal cancer has caused serious harm to people's health, many patients are worried about how long they can live after colorectal cancer surgery. In fact, we should not be too sad. After getting colorectal cancer, we just need to actively cooperate with the treatment of our physical illness. I believe that the disease can still be cured.
