So what are the common treatment methods for colorectal cancer ? The following will tell you about the common treatment methods for colorectal cancer.

In general, common treatments for bowel cancer include:

1. Medical treatment: This type of colorectal cancer is mainly treated with chemotherapy. When colorectal cancer patients are diagnosed, about 30%-40% have metastasis, and even in the early stage, 50% have postoperative recurrence. Therefore, it is very difficult to improve the treatment effect by surgical techniques alone. Systemic chemotherapy is the main means of postoperative adjuvant treatment for early and mid-stage colon cancer, and also a means of palliative treatment for advanced colorectal cancer.

2. Radiotherapy: For patients with advanced colorectal cancer whose tumors are discovered late, have a large area of ​​infiltration, and are difficult to treat with surgery, radiotherapy can be used instead of surgery to shrink the cancerous lesions to improve symptoms, relieve obstruction, etc. It is also a good treatment for colorectal cancer.

3. Rectal resection and sigmoid colostomy: After the rectal cancer lesion is removed through the abdomen, the distal rectal stump is closed and the sigmoid colostomy is made in the left lower abdomen. It is suitable for cases where the systemic or local conditions after palliative resection of colorectal cancer or lesion resection do not allow colorectal anastomosis. After observation, if the colorectal cancer patient survives for more than 2 years without signs of recurrence, colorectal anastomosis can also be considered to eliminate the stoma to improve the quality of life. This is a better treatment method for colorectal cancer.

The above are the common treatments for colorectal cancer. I believe everyone should have a certain understanding of this. These treatments for colorectal cancer are beneficial to patients. Here is a reminder that the treatment of colorectal cancer must be carried out in a professional large hospital to avoid adverse effects on the condition.
