Ascites, organ failure, complete intestinal obstruction, bleeding and other signs are the most feared signs of advanced colon cancer.
1. Ascites, advanced colon cancer is in malnutrition state for a long time, and the body is extremely weak, which will cause hypoproteinemia and thus generalized edema, ascites and so on, accompanied by generalized fatigue and emaciation, which need to be punctured and drained in time, or take diuretic drugs.
2. Organ failure, advanced cancer cells have spread and metastasized all over the body, affecting the lungs, kidneys and other functions of the patient, so that the functions will gradually fail and finally die, such as respiratory failure, renal failure and so on.
3. Complete intestinal obstruction, the size of tumor at the primary site is too large, which completely occupies the original pathway of intestinal tract and causes complete obstruction, and in serious cases, deformed perforation and diffuse peritonitis may occur, which may endanger the life of the patient.
4. Bleeding, ulcers on tumor surface or invasion of surrounding blood vessels may cause gastrointestinal bleeding, and in serious cases, hemorrhagic shock may occur, which is life-threatening.
It is recommended to consult doctor in time for individualized treatment under doctor’s guidance to reduce pain and improve quality of life in advanced stage of colon cancer.
