How should colon cancer be treated?

Surgical treatment is the main measure of colon cancer. Although the elderly are over 70-80 years old, as long as their general condition is acceptable, they must strive for surgical resection of the lesions, and the complications and mortality are not necessarily higher than those of young adults. Five years after eradication operation, the cure rate can reach 50%~60%.

Chemotherapy uses anticancer drugs such as 5- fluorouracil plus methyl CCNu as postoperative adjuvant therapy, or for patients with postoperative recurrence who cannot be reoperated. For patients with ascites or metastasis (such as liver), chemotherapy can sometimes delay the disease or temporarily relieve it, but most of them have poor results.

Percutaneous arterial catheterization for interventional therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. Can be treated according to the condition of Chinese medicine.
