Recurrence of colon cancer after operation

First of all: the treatment of primary cancer should be thorough, and follow-up anti recurrence treatment should be carried out after recovery. The recurrence of early cancer can be prevented by radical operation, reasonable radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and comprehensive treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. However, it is difficult to completely remove the residual cancer cells in the body through one-time or surprise treatment for advanced cancer. Therefore, after the regular treatment, we must pay close attention to the anti recurrence treatment, and inhibit the further development of the cancer that has not been found. Generally speaking, after the clinical symptoms of cancer disappear after treatment, we still need to adhere to more than 5 years of anti recurrence treatment.

Secondly, we should eliminate or avoid various factors that promote cancer recurrence and actively treat chronic diseases related to cancer. We should pay special attention to some intrinsic carcinogenic factors. All cancer patients should keep a happy mood and avoid long-term and excessive mental stress and adverse stimulation. For chronic diseases that may induce cancer, it will reduce the immune function of the body and affect the local or systemic disease prevention ability of patients, so active treatment should be given.

Finally: to often self-examination and regular inspection to the hospital. Patients should pay attention to observe whether there are new tumors, nodules, ulcers, etc. in the original lesion location and nearby, and whether there are new pain feelings. In addition, we should also pay attention to the changes of the whole body, whether there is gradually aggravating fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, anemia and other manifestations. Once the above situation occurs, we should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time and take remedial measures as soon as possible.
