It is not possible to generalize the maximum number of years of life after early surgery for rectal cancer, but clinically it is shown that most of them can survive for a longer period of time, and the 5-year survival rate is close to 90%. If you find symptoms such as blood in stool or change in bowel habit in daily life, you need to be alert to the possibility of rectal cancer. It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and let the professional doctor improve the colonoscopy, abdominal and pelvic CT, MRI and other related examinations to make a comprehensive judgment. Generally speaking, if detected as early as possible and treated with early surgery, the 5-year survival rate after surgery can be as high as more than 90%. After early surgery for rectal cancer, if there are symptoms of distant metastasis or pathological biopsy shows low differentiation of cancer cells, it means that the degree of malignancy of the rectal cancer is high, the prognosis is relatively poor, and the survival period will be greatly reduced. It is suggested that after early surgery for rectal cancer, patients should actively follow the doctor’s instructions and cooperate with the treatment to improve the quality of survival and achieve the expected results.
