Intermediate stage of bowel cancer at the age of 60 has a short survival period if left untreated. After standardized treatment, the survival period can be extended appropriately, and generally can survive for 3-5 years, the exact time is closely related to the pathological type of bowel cancer, the presence of metastasis, and whether or not the patient can tolerate surgery, chemotherapy, and so on. Bowel cancer includes colon cancer and rectal cancer. After diagnosis of bowel cancer, doctors will assess the patient as a whole and choose the appropriate treatment plan based on the comprehensive consideration of the patient’s age, basic physical condition, pathological type of tumor, presence or absence of lymph node metastasis, and so on. Generally, surgical treatment is feasible until there is no metastasis to distant organs. If the patient cannot achieve radical cure through surgery, simple resection of intestinal segments can be used to solve the patient’s problem of defecation difficulties, and the surgery is supplemented with chemotherapy-based comprehensive treatment. Intermediate stage of bowel cancer means that the depth of invasion of bowel cancer has reached the plasma layer or beyond the plasma layer, and combined with lymph node metastasis, which requires 12 cycles or half a year of chemotherapy after surgery, and the patient’s physical condition needs to be able to tolerate chemotherapy. Therefore, the survival period of 60-year-old intermediate stage bowel cancer is usually 3-5 years, depending on whether radical surgical resection can be done and whether the patient can tolerate postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
