Colon Cancer Overview

Global Incidence

Colon cancer has a high incidence worldwide, particularly common in developed Western countries. Changes in lifestyle and dietary patterns have led to an annual increase in the number of colon cancer patients. In Asia, countries such as Japan, South Korea, and parts of Southeast Asia are also showing rising incidence rates, making it an important public health challenge.

Main Hazards

1. Impaired Intestinal Function

The development of colon cancer severely affects normal intestinal function, leading to indigestion, constipation, or diarrhea, which significantly impacts daily life.

2. Risk of Tumor Metastasis

Cancer cells are prone to spreading to the lymphatic system and liver, forming distant metastases, which increase treatment difficulty and mortality risk.

3. Decline in Quality of Life

As the disease progresses, patients often experience anemia, weight loss, and fatigue, which seriously affect physical health and psychological state.

4. Increased Treatment Complexity

Treatment of advanced colon cancer is complex, lengthy, and costly, placing a heavy burden on patients and their families.

Emerging Treatment Methods

Immune Reconstruction Cell Therapy

Immune reconstruction cell therapy enhances the patient’s immune system’s ability to recognize and attack tumors, improving treatment efficacy. Its advantages include restoring immune function, reducing recurrence risk, enhancing sensitivity to conventional treatments, and having fewer side effects, making it suitable for combined therapeutic approaches.

In actual treatment, cancer patients undergoing surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy often face immune suppression, higher infection risks, and slow recovery. To help patients better tolerate treatment and improve quality of life, scientifically phased immune reconstruction strategies are needed.

● Short-term Plan: Rapidly improve immunity through immune cell transfusion to enhance anti-tumor treatment effects.

● Mid-term Plan: Reduce side effects of traditional treatments, promote physical recovery, and ensure treatment completion.

● Long-term Plan: Comprehensive improvement of immunity through immune cell reconstruction, intestinal immune rebuilding, elemental immune rebuilding, and immune nutrition reconstruction, improving quality of life and extending survival.

Traditional Treatment Methods

1. Radiation Therapy

High-energy radiation is used to precisely kill cancer cells and control local lesions. Modern radiotherapy techniques protect normal tissues and reduce side effects.

2. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy drugs inhibit tumor cell proliferation and are often combined with radiotherapy to improve overall treatment efficacy.

3. Surgical Resection

Surgery is a curative treatment option suitable for early-stage and some advanced cases. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, reduce surgical trauma and promote faster recovery.

4. Minimally Invasive Treatments

Endoscopic polyp removal and localized tumor excision are common minimally invasive approaches. These have small trauma, are suitable for early-stage lesions, and enable rapid recovery.

Conclusion

As a malignant tumor of the digestive system that seriously threatens health, early detection and comprehensive treatment of colon cancer are crucial. Experts from United Life International Medical Center emphasize that combining immune reconstruction cell therapy with traditional therapies offers patients more hope and better prognosis, advancing colon cancer treatment into a new stage.
