Colorectal Cancer Treatment
Colorectal Cancer Treatment depends on the stage of cancer, patient’s health, and treatment approach. The main treatment options include surgery (colectomy), chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Early-stage colorectal cancer is often treated with surgery alone, while advanced stages may require a combination of chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies.
Colectomy (Partial / Total) - Removal of part or all of the colon, depending on the location and extent of the cancer. In case of total colectomy, an alternative way for waste to leave the body (colostomy) is created.
Proctectomy - Removal of part or all of the rectum, which may include creating a colostomy or ileostomy for waste elimination.
Abdominoperineal Resection (APR) - Removal of the anus, rectum, and part of the sigmoid colon, often resulting in a permanent colostomy.
Low Anterior Resection (LAR) - Removal of the rectum and part of the colon, with reconnection of the remaining colon to the anus or a temporary colostomy if necessary.
Chemotherapy - Uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing, often administered intravenously or orally.
Radiation Therapy - Uses high-energy radiation to target and kill cancer cells, commonly used for rectal cancer and to shrink tumors before surgery.
Targeted Therapy - Targets specific molecules involved in cancer cell growth and survival, typically used for advanced cancer or when chemotherapy isn't effective.
Immunotherapy - Stimulates the body's immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells, used for specific genetic types of colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer is diagnosed through tests such as colonoscopy, biopsy, PET scan, and blood tests (CEA test). These tests help detect cancerous growths, determine the stage, and guide treatment planning.
