The large intestine is about 1.5 meters long and is located at the end of the digestive tract. However, cancer occurring in this part ranks second in the number of new cancer cases in China. It is colorectal cancer (also known as colorectal cancer ), which is one of the most common malignant tumors in the human body and occurs in the large intestine cavity. 70-year-old Grandma Li (pseudonym) came to our hospital for treatment because of diarrhea. A colonoscopy was performed and masses were found in the ascending colon (pathological report showed "adenocarcinoma") and rectum (pathological report showed "high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia" - precancerous lesions). Grandma Li was a little worried. She came from another place, and her children were all in Tianjin. If she went back to her hometown for medical treatment, no one would take care of her. She was also worried that her medical insurance would not be reimbursed if she went to Tianjin for treatment! After understanding her concerns, the doctor explained to her the convenient policy of medical treatment in other places before she was admitted to the hospital. With the help of the medical insurance department, she successfully completed the registration, and Grandma Li was admitted to the hospital for treatment with peace of mind. After being hospitalized, the doctor considered the risk of rectal cancer and first performed ESD surgery for rectal polyps; a week later, Grandma Li, who had recovered well, underwent laparoscopic radical resection of right hemicolectomy. As a specialty treatment of the gastrointestinal and anorectal departments: endoscopic treatment of early gastrointestinal cancer and laparoscopic radical treatment of gastrointestinal cancer , the combination of two endoscopes solved the two "bombs" of Grandma Li! Most colorectal cancers have no symptoms in the early stages, and are already in the advanced stages when they are discovered or when symptoms appear. Studies have shown that if colorectal cancer is discovered and treated early , the 5-year survival rate is over 90% , while the 5-year survival rate for patients in the advanced stages is only 10% . 01 Over 40 years old, and has not undergone gastrointestinal endoscopy; 02 Unexplained weight loss, anemia, black stools or bloody stools, abdominal pain, abdominal mass, abnormal bowel movements, etc.; 03 Previous discovery of gastrointestinal polyps, especially adenomatous polyps, or familial polyposis, inflammatory bowel disease, etc.; 04 Family history of colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is a disease that is closely related to lifestyle . Smoking , drinking , and obesity are recognized as the three most carcinogenic factors. Therefore, it is necessary to quit smoking, quit drinking, lose weight, change eating habits (reduce the intake of red meat and processed meat; increase the intake of fruits and crude fiber), and increase exercise and sunlight! |
