What should I do if I have colorectal cancer and how long can the patient live? How long can this colon cancer live? It is already a cliché. How long can a patient live with colorectal cancer is actually a very complicated issue, which mainly depends on the specific condition of the patient, the patient’s physical quality, whether the patient receives effective treatment, whether there is better care and nursing, whether there is a good psychological state, whether there is a certain financial ability, etc. A good one can live for decades, while a bad one is a few months. How long can colorectal cancer live? It is the answer that bowel cancer patients want to know, whether they can live for one year, two years or more. Of course, the longer you can live, the better, because no one would like to leave their family and friends early in such a beautiful day. First of all, there are many questions to consider and many factors to determine how long we can live with colorectal cancer. There is really no perfect answer here for colorectal cancer patients. We can only have a little answer after years of doctors’ experience in contacting colorectal cancer patients, but it is not a generalized answer, as each patient’s body has different immune function and different ability to tolerate treatment methods. Moreover, the treatment of colorectal cancer is a systematic process involving many factors. In general, whether colorectal cancer will die or not needs to be considered from the patient’s own physical condition, treatment methods and effects. The choice of treatment method for advanced colon cancer is an important factor affecting the survival of advanced colon cancer. Clinically, the treatment methods for advanced colon cancer mainly include chemotherapy, radiotherapy and Chinese medicine. Arterial chemotherapy is the main form of chemotherapy for advanced colon cancer, which can shrink the cancer to a certain extent, but it will increase the toxic side effects as the treatment time increases.
Radiotherapy is also one of the most clinically used treatments for advanced bowel cancer, which can shrink the tumor and improve the symptoms, and is usually better than radiotherapy alone or chemotherapy alone when combined with chemotherapy. However, radiotherapy is more harmful to the body and should be used with caution for patients with poor physical function in advanced bowel cancer. In addition, in view of the toxic side effects of radiotherapy, Chinese medicine can be combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced intestinal cancer to increase the effectiveness and reduce the toxicity, so as to reduce the toxic side effects with the application of chemotherapy and achieve good curative effect.
For advanced bowel cancer patients with wide metastasis and weak body function, who can hardly tolerate radiotherapy, Chinese medicine can be used for conservative treatment. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, the long-term effect is good, and it has obvious effect in improving the quality of survival and prolonging the survival period. In addition, the improvement of patient’s physical function is also an important factor affecting the survival of advanced colorectal cancer. The patient’s own immunity can be improved to resist the development of cancer and tolerate various drug treatments. Therefore, it is extremely important for advanced colon cancer patients to improve their immune function and enhance their resistance to tumor. In terms of diet, the intake of fats and oils in the diet should be reduced; the intake of fiber in the diet should be increased; and strong alcohol, spicy, hot, dry and stimulating foods should be avoided. In addition, you can also take herbal medicines that have the effect of strengthening the spleen and kidney to improve immunity.
With the progress of scientific research, the survival period of advanced colorectal cancer has increased significantly. Most of the patients are trapped by the disease and have very negative emotions, which affects the enthusiasm and efficacy of treatment to a certain extent. Therefore, people around should comfort and encourage patients so that they can actively carry out treatment, which can effectively prolong the survival period of advanced colorectal cancer. Through the above answer to the question of how long can colorectal cancer live, I believe we have a certain understanding of how long the survival period of colorectal cancer patients is. From this, we can see that the survival period of colorectal cancer mainly depends on the patient’s mentality and treatment and care, so colorectal cancer patients must establish a good quality of mentality, which is conducive to prolonging life.
