How is chemotherapy for colorectal cancer performed?

Chemotherapy for colorectal cancer requires oral medication or intravenous infusion of medication, and standardized medication use under the guidance of a professional doctor.

Intestinal cancer is a malignant tumor of the intestine, which is caused by genetic factors. Long-term exposure to chemical carcinogens can also lead to the disease. Under the influence of these factors, the intestinal mucosal epithelial cells will proliferate abnormally, which can easily cause patients to have diarrhea, constipation, blood in the stool, mucus in the stool, abdominal pain, anemia, and weight loss.

Since the disease has the characteristics of infiltration and metastasis, chemotherapy needs to be treated in time after the disease occurs. Oral chemotherapy drugs such as capecitabine tablets, Tegafur capsules, and Tegafur tablets can be taken according to the doctor's advice. Oral administration of such drugs can control the spread of cancer cells and help improve the condition. If necessary, it can also be treated by intravenous drip. The drugs used include cisplatin injection, carboplatin injection, vincristine sulfate injection, etc. After using chemotherapy drugs, tumor cells can be killed and the development of the disease can be controlled.

Some patients may experience adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and weight loss after using chemotherapy drugs. After stopping the drug, this phenomenon will gradually ease, so there is no need to be overly anxious. During chemotherapy, you should eat more nutritious foods, such as eggs, lean meat, etc., which will help your body recover.
