When I went to the hospital to see her, I was very distressed to see her face gradually haggard because of chemotherapy.

What is the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for colon cancer

First: advanced radiotherapy and chemotherapy is our preferred method, which can directly clear cancer cells, but it will also cause damage to normal cells, irreversible damage to organs, hair loss, nausea and leukopenia. Therefore, it is recommended to use tumor blood vessel inhibitors in combination to control the disease and reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Second: colon cancer is a common digestive tract tumor disease, colon cancer patients are more painful, not only to bear physical pain, but also suffering from mental torture. The clinical treatment of colon cancer is mainly surgical treatment, but the patients with advanced colon cancer are not suitable for surgical treatment, because the range of cancer in patients with advanced colon cancer is large, and most of them have spread and metastasized. Therefore, radiotherapy and chemotherapy has become the main way of advanced colon cancer treatment.

Third: chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy in the early treatment of colon cancer, the curative effect is better than chemotherapy or radiotherapy alone. However, in the middle and advanced stage of colon cancer, radiotherapy and chemotherapy has a big disadvantage, that is, it will produce serious toxic and side effects on patients, which makes the treatment of patients relatively painful. In the face of this situation, it is suggested that the treatment of colon cancer can be combined with biological immunotherapy for comprehensive treatment, which can play a role in enhancing efficiency and reducing toxicity. After the treatment of colon cancer, colon cancer patients should also carry out the correct daily care to speed up the recovery of body function.
