Colon cancer treatment Surgery is the most effective treatment for colon cancer. The patient must undergo all tests and follow a diet. Surgical intervention is performed using general anesthesia by performing an incision in the abdominal wall. The affected area is removed along with a part of healthy tissue and lymph nodes. The patient can have a colostomy on the anterior abdominal wall, but bowel function can also be restored by connecting two stumps without removing the colostomy.

After surgery, the patient is given chemotherapy and radiation to prevent metastases.. In the KATES medical module, chemotherapy drugs are selected strictly individually, and the patient is under the strict supervision of the attending physicians.

Sometimes, after taking these drugs, side effects appear, such as loss of appetite, hair loss, vomiting, weakness.

Prognosis for bowel cancer Treatment success depends on the stage of the disease. With early detection of a malignant intestinal tumor, the five-year survival rate reaches 99%. But at later stages, when the tumor has managed to grow into other organs and give metastases, the survival rate reaches only 30%. But, in general, treatment almost always gives a positive effect..
