The survival rate of advanced rectal cancer patients after surgery (how long they live) cannot be generalized, the specific survival time is closely related to the treatment plan, pathological type and the patient’s own physical condition. Generally speaking, early diagnosis, early discovery and early treatment are conducive to the prolongation of the survival time of the patients after surgery, and the five-year survival rate after radical resection is about 50-60%. The five-year survival rate of rectal cancer patients after radical resection is about 50-60%, among which the five-year survival rate of stage I rectal cancer is more than 90%, and the five-year survival rate is often used in clinic to roughly assess the survival of tumor patients. It should be noted that rectal cancer patients can reduce the adverse effects of the disease through “early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment”, and many of them may survive for a long time, so it is recommended that patients establish confidence in treatment.
