Analysis of the common methods of treating rectal cancer

Rectal cancer is a relatively common malignant tumor, and has become a major killer of many people's health. So what are the methods for treating rectal cancer ? Here are some common methods for treating rectal cancer.

In general, the common treatments for rectal cancer are:

1. Local electrocoagulation of tumors

The local electrocoagulation of rectal tumors does not negate the therapeutic effect of other radical surgeries. It mainly selects the corresponding surgical method according to the location, size, infiltration and metastasis of the rectal tumor to achieve the purpose of treating rectal cancer. The prognosis of the tumor is mainly related to whether local lymph node metastasis occurs. The main deficiency of the local electrocoagulation of tumors in the treatment of rectal cancer is the lack of understanding and knowledge of whether distant metastasis occurs in the lymph nodes.

2. Palliative surgery

It is suitable for patients with rectal cancer who can be resected, but are not suitable for radical surgery because of their old age, frailty, severe cardiovascular disease, liver or abdominal distant metastasis, deep local infiltration of the rectal tumor or wide metastasis. Palliative treatment of rectal cancer can be performed to improve the patient's quality of life and relieve obstruction. Currently, the clinical practice is to selectively resect the intestinal segment with tumors, especially for patients with intestinal obstruction, who can undergo colostomy when necessary.
