For patients with this disease should be treated as soon as possible, now let's talk about colon cancer treatment.

How long can you live after colon cancer resection

Treatment 1: immunotherapy. It can improve the anti-tumor ability of patients. It has developed rapidly in recent years, such as interferon, interleukin, transfer factor, tumor necrosis factor, etc. it has been gradually widely used. It can not only improve the immune ability of patients, but also cooperate with chemotherapy.

Treatment 2: Traditional Chinese medicine can improve symptoms, enhance the body's disease resistance, and reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Some traditional Chinese medicine has direct anti-cancer effects, such as Hedyotis diffusa, Scutellaria barbata, Sagittaria, Solanum nigrum, etc. Ganoderma lucidum preparations can significantly improve the patient's immune function. At present, there is only one kind of Ganoderma lucidum drug "shuanglingguben powder" on the market The drugs can be used for syndrome differentiation and disease differentiation, such as clearing away heat and toxin, promoting blood circulation, nourishing yin and blood, eliminating phlegm and dispersing stasis, and tonifying spleen and stomach.

Treatment 3: chemical drug therapy. Chemotherapy for patients after operation can be used for 2-3 courses within one to one and a half years. The commonly used drugs are 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), or mitomycin, cyclophosphamide, etc. each course of 5-FU can be used for 7-10 grams. It can be given orally or intravenously. It is better to add it into glucose solution, 250 mg each time, once a day or every other day. If the reaction is large, such as nausea, loss of appetite, weakness, decreased white blood cell and platelet count, the dosage can be reduced or the interval can be increased. When bone marrow suppression is obvious, the drug can be stopped in time. The gastrointestinal reaction of oral administration was greater than that of intravenous administration, but the myelosuppression reaction was less. It is necessary to pay attention to supportive treatment and use drugs to reduce side effects.

matters needing attention

Chemotherapy for patients with unresectable cancer can relieve symptoms and control tumor growth to a certain extent, but the effect is poor and the maintenance time is short. If the patient's general condition is poor, the side effect is significant, but it aggravates the disease, so it is not suitable for application.
