Whether bowel cancer retroperitoneal lymphatic metastasis can be cured depends on the site of lymphatic metastasis, as well as the specific condition of the patient. Some patients with retroperitoneal lymphatic metastasis of bowel cancer can be cured, but most of them cannot be cured. As the condition changes, the tissues and organs around the retroperitoneum also undergo corresponding lesions, thus leading to systemic damage, at this time, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be adopted to slow down the development of the condition and appropriately increase the survival rate of patients. For retroperitoneal lymphatic metastasis of intestinal cancer, if the metastatic lymph nodes belong to distant metastasis, the hope of cure may be relatively small. If the lymphatic metastasis is to the lymph nodes around the intestines or the lymph nodes in the root of the mesentery, basically it can be cured. After surgery, according to the stage of pathology, active postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy will be adopted. Whether the retroperitoneal lymphatic metastasis of intestinal cancer can be cured or not depends on the site of lymphatic metastasis as well as the specific conditions of patients. It is suggested that patients with intestinal cancer should go to the hospital regularly for follow-up examination after operation, so as to achieve early detection and early treatment.
