Is Rectal Cancer Getting More Severe Nowadays?

Update Date: Source: Network

Whether rectal cancer has worsened needs to be judged based on specific conditions.

If the patient is in the early stage and undergoes active treatment, the condition may not worsen. However, if the patient's condition is severe and no timely treatment is given, it may lead to further aggravation of the disease.

Rectal cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the epithelial cells of the rectal mucosa, usually related to diet, genetics, and other factors. If the patient can actively cooperate with the doctor in the early stage of the disease and remove the lesion through surgery, and follow the doctor's advice to undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery to assist in controlling the development of the disease, the purpose of cure can generally be achieved, so there will be no worsening phenomenon at this time.

However, if the patient's condition is severe, with obvious symptoms of discomfort such as abdominal pain, bloody stool, and even if it has reached the middle or late stage, and no timely and effective treatment is given, it may lead to the spread or metastasis of cancer cells, causing damage to other parts of the body. This situation will gradually aggravate the condition, leading to its worsening.

It is recommended that patients regularly undergo hospital re-examination to understand the development of their condition and their own recovery. At the same time, they should also pay attention to a reasonable diet, appropriately eating foods rich in high-quality protein, such as eggs and milk, which is conducive to enhancing physical fitness and promoting the recovery of the disease.
