summary

I am a volunteer, specialized in taking care of some patients. Today, I was sent to take care of a patient with colon cancer. I learned that this patient had just been diagnosed with colon cancer. Because he had no children, his wife was alone and didn't know what to do, he asked volunteers to take care of him. I helped him consult the doctors I knew and got a lot of advice. Now let me tell you about colon cancer.

How does colon cancer do

First, the lumen of the left colon is thin and the feces are dry and hard. Left colon cancer is usually infiltrative type, which is easy to cause annular stenosis, mainly manifested as acute and chronic intestinal obstruction. The mass is small in size, without ulceration, bleeding and toxin absorption. Anemia, emaciation, cachexia and other symptoms are rare, and it is difficult to touch the mass. Colon cancer often has organ metastasis, distant metastasis is mainly liver. Lymph node metastasis generally spread from near to far, and there are also cross metastasis out of order. The probability of lymph node metastasis is higher after the cancer invades the muscular layer of intestinal wall.

The second is the principle that radical operation can not be performed. When the tumor has extensive invasion, or can not be removed by fixing with surrounding tissues and organs, the intestinal tube has been obstructed or may be obstructed, short circuit operation or colostomy can be performed. If distant organ metastasis and local tumor is still allowed to be removed, local palliative resection can be used to relieve the symptoms of obstruction, chronic blood loss, infection and poisoning.

matters needing attention

In fact, different patients have different physical conditions and different treatment methods. We should cooperate with the doctor's treatment according to the specific situation of the patients. I suggest that patients had better go to regular hospitals for treatment, to do a comprehensive examination, find the root cause, early treatment can control the disease as soon as possible.
