Does early stage colorectal cancer require chemotherapy?

Is chemotherapy necessary for early stage colorectal cancer?

In the early stages of colorectal cancer, chemotherapy is generally not required. Maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

The cause of colorectal cancer is still unclear. It may be related to genetic factors or the stimulation of tobacco and alcohol. After the disease occurs, symptoms such as increased bowel movements and bloody stools may occur. Some patients may also experience anemia, weight loss and other symptoms. If it is in the early stages of the disease, the lesions are relatively limited and will not infiltrate, spread, or metastasize. If you can actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, clinical cure can usually be achieved. Under the guidance of a doctor, the lesions can be removed through laparoscopic surgery, laparotomy, etc., which can usually completely eliminate cancer cells in the body without the need for follow-up treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

In order to prevent the recurrence and metastasis of the disease, while actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment, you should also pay attention to strengthening your life management, ensure adequate sleep, and avoid overwork. But you should also strengthen your nutrition. Patients can eat more eggs, beef, lamb and other foods with high nutritional value, which will help promote physical recovery.
