The liver is the most common distant metastasis site of colorectal cancer. Among patients who have failed radical surgery for colorectal cancer, liver metastasis is the main cause. The incidence of colorectal cancer metastasis to the liver is generally between 10% and 25%. The liver is one of the organs most commonly metastasized by malignant tumors, and there are also many patients who die from colorectal cancer liver metastasis. The effective treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastasis is particularly important. What are the treatment options for colorectal cancer liver metastasis? Let's hear what the experts say. The long-term efficacy of surgical resection of rectal cancer metastasis to the liver is not satisfactory. One of the main reasons is postoperative recurrence and metastasis. In fact, smaller tumors may not be detected by preoperative and intraoperative imaging examinations. It is considered a "radical cure" during surgery, and it is not uncommon for recurrence to occur 2 to 3 months after surgery. Therefore, although surgical treatment is the main means, comprehensive postoperative treatment measures are still indispensable, especially for traditional Chinese medicine. The specific effects of TCM's "status therapy": The first is to increase efficacy and reduce toxicity: that is, to improve the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, improve the quality of life, reduce pain, prolong life, enhance immunity, stabilize lesions, and inhibit the development and metastasis of lesions. The second is to enhance efficacy and sensitivity: it can not only further improve the efficacy, but also increase the sensitivity of the tumor to the drug, use a lower dose of the drug to produce the same effect, and make the tumor that was originally insensitive to radio and chemotherapy effective after the application of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine causes relatively little damage to healthy cells and generally does not cause new damage to physical strength due to the treatment itself. As cancer improves, physical strength will gradually recover and immunity will gradually increase. |
