Adherence to postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy effectively prevents recurrence of colorectal cancer

As a common cancer, colorectal cancer can be temporarily cured if it is discovered in time and treated early. However, if postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and conditioning are ignored, it can easily cause colorectal cancer recurrence , thus affecting the prognosis of colorectal cancer.

After colorectal cancer surgery, patients believe that the tumor has been removed and no other treatment is necessary. Some patients are afraid of the side effects of chemotherapy and try not to undergo chemotherapy if possible. In fact, colorectal cancer is a systemic disease. Even with radical surgical resection, colorectal cancer often recurs due to the presence of undetectable micro-metastases at the time of surgery. Adjuvant chemotherapy is an effective means of treating colorectal cancer recurrence.

Therefore, it is not advisable for patients to give up adjuvant treatment due to fear of the toxic side effects of chemotherapy, which can easily cause recurrence of colorectal cancer. At present, chemotherapy models and chemotherapy drugs have made great progress. The emergence of biological immunotherapy has brought a new model for the treatment of colorectal cancer. Biological immunotherapy is aimed at preventing the recurrence of malignant tumors. Its main principle is to separate the monocytes (a type of immune cell) in the patient's peripheral blood in vitro, and through the action of specific antigens and laboratory culture, it has the ability to specifically kill tumors. At the same time, after the cells are expanded to a certain number in vitro, they are returned to the body to kill those tumor cells that are invisible to the naked eye, thereby preventing the recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer. To a certain extent, it solves the serious problems of poor immunity and low quality of life of patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In addition, since the mechanism of autologous cell immunotherapy can improve the immunity of patients, it can greatly delay the survival time of patients to a certain extent.

Therefore, patients cannot neglect treatment even after surgery. Only active and effective postoperative chemotherapy and examination can effectively prevent the recurrence of colorectal cancer and affect the patient's life and health.
