Can surgery be performed if colon cancer metastasizes to the lungs?

Generally speaking, if a patient has colon cancer and has metastasized to the lungs, surgery is not recommended because the patient's condition is more serious and the tumor cells may spread and metastasize.

For people with colon cancer and lung metastasis, it is generally impossible to achieve a radical cure through surgery. This is mainly because these people are in poor physical condition, are older, or have other underlying diseases, and are not suitable for surgical resection of the lesions. Even if they can tolerate surgery, the recurrence rate after surgery is high, so this method is not suitable for improving symptoms.

At present, chemotherapy is the main treatment in clinic, and commonly used drugs include oxaliplatin injection, capecitabine tablets and bevacizumab injection. Radiotherapy can also be used to inhibit the development of local malignant tumors, thereby reducing the degree of damage to surrounding tissues and organs. In addition, targeted drugs such as furiquintinib capsules and regorafenib dispersible tablets can be used according to the doctor's advice to control the progression of the disease.

In daily life, we should maintain a good attitude, avoid being too excited or nervous, and pay attention to a reasonable diet. Try to choose light and easily digestible foods, such as millet porridge or soft noodles.
