Patients with sigmoid colon cancer should choose different treatment options according to the actual condition, and surgery is the only curative method for sigmoid colon cancer.
For early-stage sigmoid colon cancer, endoscopic resection can be performed after a comprehensive assessment of the risk of metastasis, and additional surgical treatment can be selected based on the presence of tumor infiltration at the surgical margins, which has the advantages of less trauma, faster recovery, lower cost, and can preserve the structure and function of the gastrointestinal tract
For patients with progressive sigmoid colon cancer, surgical treatment should be performed.
For patients with progressive sigmoid colon cancer, surgery should be performed and supplemented with radiotherapy or chemotherapy to reduce the possibility of tumor recurrence and prolong survival time.
For patients with advanced tumors such as multiple metastases, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy should be actively administered, and nutritional support should be ensured.
In summary, sigmoid colon cancer is mainly treated with surgery, and different treatment modalities are chosen according to the condition
Sigmoid colon cancer is not obvious in early symptoms, and the opportunity for endoscopic treatment is often lost when it is detected. A healthy and regular lifestyle and regular medical checkups, especially gastroscopy, are the keys to early detection and treatment of colon cancer.
