    For colon cancer, the most complete ** is surgical resection, supplemented by radiotherapy or chemotherapy after surgery, in order to completely kill the cancer cells in the body.

    Successful surgical resection of colon cancer is only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles, and postoperative prevention of infection, complications, and metastasis are all arduous journeys in the process of fighting cancer, and must not be paralyzed.

    There are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of colon cancer, and once found, most of them are intermediate and advanced. The need for chemotherapy after surgery depends on your specific situation. If the treating doctor recommends chemotherapy, it is best to listen to the doctor's advice to ensure the continuity and thoroughness of the anti-cancer**.

    The human body has too much blood circulation and lymphatic circulation, and it is not easy to kill all the cancer cells that slip through the net. There is no essential difference between the consequences of only one course of chemotherapy and no chemotherapy. If possible, try to stick to **, and if you are not in good physical condition, you can take chemotherapy and conditioning at the same time.

    It is best to go to the hospital every 3 months for examination, and after 2 years, 6-12 months to check for the presence of ** or metastasis.

    Medical literature shows that the 5-year survival rate of colon cancer after surgery is more than 60%. Integrative medicine is recommended**.

    It is necessary to carry out chemotherapy, which is equivalent to saying, whether the house is built or not, whether to clean it, whether to drag the garbage away, the lump formed by cancer cells can be seen, while the free cancer cells are invisible, after surgery, the lump is removed, but there will be a lot of cancer cells around.

    In the blood, after cutting off the total source, any free cancer cells have a chance to become the source, so chemotherapy is needed, that is, these relatively small amounts of cancer cells can be eliminated, and the best effect can be achieved. Otherwise, the person's resistance will be weaker after surgery, and if the cancer cells are not eliminated in a larger number through radiotherapy and chemotherapy, any free cancer cells may resurge and become a new source of development, not only colon cancer, but also lung cancer, liver cancer, and kidney cancer, so chemotherapy is needed.

    Whether chemotherapy is chemotherapy or not depends on the pathological stage and personal preference. Moreover, the choice of chemotherapy method is generally decided by the attending director and the director of the oncology department, and the most suitable plan is selected. As for the survival time, it is still necessary to combine pathology, colon cancer is still a very friendly cancer, and it is generally operated immediately after discovery, and the survival rate is still very high, and the ** rate is also very high.

    I hope to maintain an optimistic attitude, actively cooperate**, timely review, the future must be healthy and long-lasting.

    Regardless of whether chemotherapy is needed or not, it is necessary to present real evidence of pathology and imaging, and it is not a doctor who casually says it and prescribes chemotherapy with a stroke of the pen. Therefore, this kind of professional matter still has to be decided by professional people, and only by trusting the doctor can you get the most suitable **.

    Just like the seeds in the ground, if they are not removed, any one will germinate, so after the cancer cells are removed through surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are also needed to eliminate the cancer cells throughout the body, so as to reduce the chance of the first and achieve the best effect. On the contrary, after surgery, the chances of metastasis are high.

    Generally, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are required for consolidation** after cancer surgery to prevent residual lesions** from metastasizing, but chemoradiotherapy is very harmful to patients and often causes patients to be so weak that they cannot complete the whole course of treatment. It is recommended to use intervention, which directly acts on the lesion and quickly destroys cancer cells, and the toxicity is minimal.
