How to choose a western hospital to treat colorectal cancer

Intestinal cancer is a general term for colon cancer and rectal cancer. Intestinal cancer refers to malignant lesions of the large intestinal mucosal epithelium caused by multiple carcinogenic factors such as the environment or genetics. It has a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the large intestinal mucosal epithelium. It is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract. So how do you choose a western hospital to treat colorectal cancer?

1. Look at the nature of the hospital. Generally speaking, hospitals affiliated to medical schools are stronger. With the support of medical schools, good teacher-student relationships, and the fact that doctors are responsible for lecturing and guiding interns, their knowledge is updated quickly, and they are relatively experienced in treating difficult and complicated diseases. The human resources of doctors in these hospitals are absolutely superior.

2. Look at the reputation of the hospital. A good hospital will always leave a good impression among local patients, that is, it has a good reputation. Before going to see a doctor, you may want to search the Internet or ask more people to get a preliminary understanding of the hospital.

3. General hospitals and specialized hospitals Compared with general hospitals, specialized hospitals have simpler department settings and more thorough research on certain diseases, such as cancer hospitals and obstetrics and gynecology hospitals. Of course, if the disease is not limited to a certain system, it is better to go to a general hospital, which can organize multi-department consultations and have more comprehensive examination methods and equipment.

4. Choose a "famous" department. Although some hospitals are famous, if the department you visit is weak, it is still not ideal. Therefore, it is very important to compare the settings and levels of the departments in various hospitals. At present, there is no specific ranking list of various departments in China, but the national key disciplines announced by the review can be used for reference, of course, only the top few with the strongest comprehensive strength in the country are included. In addition, ask the doctor who first consults, search on the Internet, and listen to the opinions and suggestions of other patients.
