What should you do if you have colon cancer? First of all, we must detect it as early as possible. Regular physical examination is a good habit, which can help you find potential problems. If you have abdominal pain and other conditions, you should also go for a physical examination in time, don't delay.
Once colon cancer is diagnosed, treatment is an inseparable part. The treatment principle is simple: treat early and go all out. However, treatment plans vary from person to person and must be customized according to the condition.
The first option is to treat colon cancer through surgical resection. With surgical resection, the tumor is removed along with the surrounding affected tissue. For colon cancer detected early, surgery can usually cure the disease and the patient has a higher survival rate.
Chemotherapy is usually given before or after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence and spread.
For advanced colon cancer, chemotherapy can also extend a patient's survival.
Radiation therapy is usually used together with chemotherapy and has certain effects on patients with larger tumors or those that have spread to other parts of the body. Moreover, when faced with colon cancer, the treatment methods and prognosis will vary according to the different stages of the cancer (early, intermediate, late).
