Common Effects of Colorectal
Cancer Prognostic Factors Are:
1. Age – In China, the median
of outbreak of colorectal cancer occurs around age 45, ten
years earlier than the United States and Europe. Because in
young people, colorectal cancer is more common to be
manifested as poorly differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma;
tumors easily grow toward outside the intestinal wall and
spread distantly. The majority of patients at the time of
diagnosis are mostly in the Dukes C, D phase, so young
people have poor prognosis in colorectal cancer. Fudan
University AffiliatedTumor Hospital’s information shows that
a youth group (age= < 30 years old) with colorectal cancer
has a 5-year survival rate of 21.83%, was significantly
lower when compared with a middle-aged group’s survival rate
of 52.97%. But in a lymph node metastasis, Stage I, Stage II
youthful patients with age > 30 years old show no big
difference (respectively 81.98% and 85.01%). However, 5-year
survival rate in patients with lymph node metastasis in
Stages III was significantly decreased in the youth group.
(The two groups after radical surgery show 5-year survival
rates of 49.27% and 73.06%).
2.Clinical Stage -- As
mentioned earlier, at the later stages of the disease, the
lower the 5-year survival rate.
3.Lesion sites -- Almost all of
the data have shown that colorectal cancer is worse than the
prognosis of patients with colon cancer. In colorectal
cancer, the middle and lower 1/3 of the local recurrence
rate is higher and has poor prognosis than upper middle
third of the local recurrence rate of colorectal cancer.
4.Pathological features --
Include pathological type, tissue differentiation,
lymphatic, vascular invasion, fibrotic conditions, and the
extent of tumor tissue infiltration of lymphocytes. The
tubular adenocarcinoma 5-year survival rate was 60%, while
mucinous carcinoma was 40%; high score differential of 5
year survival rate was 71%, the middle score differential
was 60%. Lower score differential was only 30%; Extensive
fibrosis of cancer 5-year survival rate was 45%; less
extensive fibrosis of cancer 5-year survival rate was 75%;
Lymphocytes cells with less invasion show 5-year survival
rate of 40%; more obvious invasion show 95%.
5.As previously mentioned, the
properties of surgery, radical surgery, palliative surgery
and shortcuts surgery, have obvious differences in their
5-year survival rates.
6.Adjuvant therapy,
radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and application of adjuvant
therapy can all reduce the local recurrence rate of
colorectal cancer, metastasis, and the local and distant
recurrence rate, and increase patients’ 5-year survival
rate.
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (also known
as colon cancer) is a common gastrointestinal tumors, can
occur in any part of the colon. In North America, West
Europe has a higher incidence, United States colon cancer
deaths accounted rank the second, compared with other cancer
death. In China, most provinces and cities, compared with
total mortality rate of cancer mortality rate is between 5-6
positions. In recent years there is an upward trend. Its
incidence increases with age, starting from 40 years old
increase, 60-75 years old reach peaked. Colorectal cancer
has obvious geographical distribution, family genetic
factors have been reported. Due to slow cancer growth, it
will take a long time before showing symptoms and bodily
evidence.

1 Symptoms Reflect
I.Disease History
Detailed illness history can
lead to a diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Wherever there is
an unexplained reason such as weight loss at middle-aged
plus, anemia, change of pattern of defecation, mucus, blood
stools, obstruction embolism, one should consider the
possibility of colorectal cancer, for the early detection of
colorectal cancer. For some with no obvious symptoms, but
have other colorectal cancer risk factors such as any family
history of colorectal cancer, or one who suffered multiple
colonic polyps, ulcerative colitis, crohn disease, chronic
schistosomiasis, or received pelvic radiotherapy, or has a
removed gallbladder, all should have regular follow-ups and
review.
II. Physical Check up
A comprehensive physical
examination not only will help correct diagnosis of
colorectal cancer, but also can estimate the severity of the
disease, cancer invasion and metastasis status, and help
formulate a reasonable treatment plan as a reference. Such
physical examination should pay particular attention to
localized signs of intestinal obstruction, signs of
abdominal mass and abdominal tenderness. Since the vast
majority of colorectal cancer happen in the rectum and
sigmoid, therefore a digital rectal examination should be
essential. Whenever there is a patient with blood in the
stool, whenever stool habits change, or when the stool is
deformed, and, or other symptoms, a digital rectal
examination should be carried out. Check and learn anal or
rectal examination with or without stenosis. If finger glove
is stained with blood, or if feel a bump, one should clarify
its parts, shape, focus, range, or activities at the base of
its relationship with the two neighboring organs.
III.Evaluation of early
diagnosis of colorectal cancer and its population census.
As previously mentioned, the
incidence of colorectal cancer increases year after year,
its high mortality and 5-year survival rate is closely
related with the Dukes stages. Because the cause of
colorectal cancer is unknown, increasing the patient’s
survival rate depends on secondary preventions, that is
early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Early detection
including two area contents: first early detection, and
second, early diagnosis. At present, due to the widespread
use of colonoscopy, endoscopic biopsy, histopathology,
tissue is very easily obtained, therefore, early diagnosis
of precancerous lesions or cancer is not very difficult. The
early detection of colorectal cancer is still facing many
obstacles. The main symptom of early colorectal cancer is
often hidden, and cancer patient often come to treatment
sessions too late. Currently, there is a lack of specificity
of early cancer diagnosis laboratory methods.
Throughout the asymptomatic
population, a census, or a family history of colorectal
cancers, or a diagnosis of precancerous lesions in patients
with monitoring are all important way to find early cancer.
Because cancer diagnosis often depends on colonoscopy and
biopsy, as such, any form of census workload must be
considered. Barring economic costs and social tolerance,
conducted screening tests to reduce high-risk groups can
make up for lack of colonoscopy. Even if considered purely
from the screening efficiency, screening tests can also
improve the detection effectiveness of colonoscopy. For
example, in a census of over ten thousand people, we
compared the observed sigmoidoscopy alone and with immune
occult blood, colonoscopy sequential census results, found
by screening test, sigmoidoscopy allows for the detection of
cancer rate from 0.14% to 0.43%.
As colorectal cancer screening
test not only requires sensitive, special methods, and must
be simple to operate, economical and practical, so far,
there has been a variety of methods to try in the laboratory
to diagnosis of colorectal cancer, but most difficult is to
comply with the above requirements. This is because most of
the diagnostic criteria compare with the differences in the
mean between patients and control patients with colorectal
cancer, but they are not specific for, and are difficult to
establish the diagnosis of cancer of the threshold. Early
cancer is often not sensitive, and colorectal cancer
screening data is taken from a worldwide perspective.
Screening tests are currently used mainly for fecal occult
blood screening test and rectal mucus T-antigen test
developed in recent years. Fuller applications of monoclonal
antibodies for detection of colorectal cancer in stool
solution or associated antigen within the scope of the
census small population are currently on trial.
There are more fecal occult
blood test methods. Chemical occult blood test methods are
simple and easy, but are vulnerable to a variety of factors
and false positive result, (such as eating meat, fresh
fruit, vegetable, iron, aspirin and other) and false
negative (such as prolonged fecal retention, hemoglobin
decomposition in the intestine, taking antioxidants such as
vitamin C, etc.). An immunoassay follow-up chemical occult
blood test is performed after the second generation of
colorectal cancer screening test. Its advantage is its
strong specificity, not affected by food and drugs. Early
research is an agar immunediffusion, however, we found that
the specificity of the method was good in the application.
But for cancer detection, its sensitivity is not superior to
the chemical method, therefore, we have compared the RIHA,
(Reverse/Indirect, hemagglutination), immune latex
agglutination test, and the SPA synergy test. The principle
is the human hemoglobin antibody coated on the carrier. It
was found that the immune SPA occult blood test can greatly
improve the sensitivity and specificity of detection of
occult blood. Our census, in 8233 cases, 934 cases of
patients were found positive, which detected four cases of
colorectal cancer, 3 cases of early cancer. It is note
worthy that the test is an SPA, which includes a
staphylococcal protein as carrier and a flag antibody
without purification and complex processing. During the
test, one just needs one drop of manure at the site mix with
SPA reagent. Stable results can occur within 1-3 minutes;
therefore, it is very suitable for the general population.
It is worth noting that, the
fecal occult blood test is based on the detection of
intestinal bleeding and detect colorectal cancer. Therefore,
observing no bleeding, or only intermittent bleeding in
patients with colorectal cancer may be missed. Many
non-tumor intestinal bleeding can be false-positive results.
We have 3,000 cases of age over 40 plus of endoscopic
screening and have detected 5 cases of colorectal cancer.
There are two cases in which the early cancer occult blood
test was negative. In the occult blood test, positive
patients show more than 97% of non-tumor hemorrhage. In
addition, occult blood immune reaction in the reaction of
the appropriate amount may be a problem. Liquid manure with
excess blood, and hemoglobin molecules may occur false
negative results. This is the so-called &Idquo former with &rdquo
phenomenon.
In recent years, to overcome
the lack of an occult blood test, the United States
Shamsuddin test uses the colorectal cancer and precancerous
colon mucosa showing similar features expression as T
antigen. To express this specific feature, proposed rectal
mucus galactose oxidase test the feasibility of screening
for colorectal cancer (the shams test). In China, this is
our first time we use this method with the effect of
colorectal cancer screening and we validated the method for
improvements, so that it can be used for large-scale
population screening. The results show that its clinical
detection of colorectal cancer positive rate is 89.6%. We
are using over 3,820 cases of age 40 plus census using the
Shams test with SPA immune occult blood test to compare. The
results show a former positive rate of 9.1%, and a lesion
detection rate of 12.7%, including two cases of early cancer
and 28 cases of adenoma. For lesion detection and SPA test,
it plays a significant and complementary role.
Looking for a more sensitive
and specific method for colorectal cancer screening test is
one of the important topics of colorectal cancer prevention.
Recently reported ras oncogene mutations can be detected in
the liquid manure from colorectal cancer. However, it is too
early to use the result of this gene level study for
clinical tests. The current study is the use of the existing
screening test and optimization of screening programs.
Future colorectal cancer screening may no longer be a simple
colonoscopy or occult blood-sequential screening
colonoscopy. The various experiments are based on the
sensitivity, specificity, economic cost, and social
subjects’ acceptance and affordability. Comprehensive and
complementary experimental trial census is needed to enhance
the effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening selection.
Early colorectal cancer
symptoms are not obvious, maybe a symptomatic or only
vaguely unsuitable, such as indigestion, occult blood, etc.
With cancer tumor progression, symptoms become clearer, such
as, performance change in bowel habits, blood in stool,
stomach ache, abdominal mass, obstruction and fever, anemia
and weight loss, and other symptoms of systemic toxicity.
Due to tumor invasion and metastasis can still cause
corresponding organ change, Colorectal cancer according to
their different primary site and show different clinical
signs and symptoms.
(1)Right Colon Cancer
Prominent symptoms of abdominal
mass, stomach ache, anemia, partially mucus or bloody mucus,
urinate frequently, bloating, belly swollen, obstruction
embolism. But far rarer than in the left colon, appearance
in the right colon large intestine commonly show ulcer
lumps. Many patients may have palpable mass in the right
abdomen and tumor mass. Unless the cancer directly involves
the ilecocecal valve, it generally shows less intestinal
obstruction because stool in the right colon still show
semifluid thin paste. Therefore bleeding caused by fecal
friction foci are less. Most bleeding due to cancer tumor
going deadly bad are caused by necrotic ulcers. Due to
missing blood and liquid manure evenly and difficult to
detect chronic blood loss can cause. Patients are often
hospitalized due to anemia. Abdominal pain is also common,
often pain, mostly caused by multiple tumors invadingthe
intestinal wall. Secondary infection of cancerous tumor
ulcers can cause local tenderness and systemic toxemia etc.
(2)Left Colon Cancer
Prominent symptoms of stool
habits change such as: bloody mucus or bloody stools,
intestinal obstruction, etc., narrow left colon lumen,
primary cancer growth mostly infiltrative circular growth
ring, prone to cause luminal narrowing of the upper
intestine, increased fluid, intestinal creep movement,
hyperthyroidism. That’s why after constipation, diarrhea can
occur, often two alternating. Because the stool go into the
left colon change from paste to slug, thus from stool
friction lesions are caused. Commonly, one can visually see
stool blood, and patients often seek medical treatment
earlier. Anemia due to chronic blood loss does not as stand
out as in right colon cancer. Intestinal cancer invasion
obstruction caused by narrowing intestinal stenosis from
intestinal obstruction mostly are chronically incomplete.
Patients often have a longer term discomfort pool stool, and
experience paroxysmal abdominal pain. Due to the low
obstruction, vomiting is not obvious.
(3)Colorectal Cancer
Prominent symptoms are blood in
the stool, change in bowel habits, and due to advanced
cancer caused by infiltration, original cancer area position
lower, fecal material harder, cancer susceptible to fecal
friction can easily cause bleeding, mostly bright red or
dark red. Do not mix with the forming stool or feces column
attached to the surface and misdiagnosed & idquo hemorrhoids
& rdquo bleeding, stimulation of tumor lesions and ulcers
due to secondary infections, constantly causing defecation
reflex, easily misdiagnosed as & ldquo dysentery & rdquo or
& ldquo enteritis & rdquo, growth leads to narrowing of the
intestine cancer ring, early performance of deformation
tapering column manure, late manifestation of incomplete
obstruction syndrome.
(4)Tumor Invasion and
Metastasis Disease
Local extension is the most
common invasive colorectal form, carcinoma invading, the
surrounding tissues often cause the corresponding symptoms,
such as colorectal cancer invasion and sacral nerve caused
persistent pain from abdominal and lumbosacral, anus
incontinence, etc. Because cancer cells grow off, rectal
examination in the rectum can find palpable and block
material in the bladder rectal fossa, or in the uterus
rectal fossa, There may be widely disseminated ascites.
Early stage of cancer tumor can spread along the intestinal
perineural lymphatic diffusion gap. Later it moves from the
lymphatic metastasis to lymph nodes. When cancer metastasis
move to the para-aortic lymph nodes into the celiac pool,
through the thoracic duct and left supraclavicular lymph
node metastasis, it causes that area’s lymph nodes to become
swollen. There are a small number of patients which have
upward lymphatic blockage of tumor thrombus leaving
retrograde spread of cancer cell. In the perineum, it
appears as numerous diffuse small nodules. In female
patients, tumors can be transferred to both ovaries and
cause Kruken-berg’s disease. Advances colorectal cancer can
be transferred through the blood to the liver, lung, and
bone, etc.
2Drug Treatment
Chemical Treatment of
Colorectal Cancer
(1)Indications and
Contra-indications:
1)Indications:
a.Preoperative, Intraoperative
Chemotherapy
b.Transfer greater danger of
Stage II and Stage III patients (its main purpose is to
improve the survival rate. Combined overall randomized study
found, postoperative chemotherapy increases Stage III
patients’ 5-year survival rate by about 5%).
c.Patients with advanced cancer
surgery who failed to remove tumors, or who are unable to
undergo surgery, and radiotherapy patients.
d.Post operative, recurrence
after radiotherapy, transferred but cannot re-operate
patient (Its purpose is to alleviate the suffering of and/or
to prolong life. Previous studies showed that chemotherapy
can make complete tumor disappearance in 20%-40% of these
patients. Reduce or stabilize, but relief time generally
only 2.5 months. Long-Term relief patients are rare).
e.KPS score 50-60 points and
above patients.
f.Expected survival time is
greater than 3 months.
2)Contra-indications:
a.Bone Marrow dysfunction white
blood cell count at 3.5 x 109/L or less, plates 80 x 109/L
or less.
b.Patients with Cachexia state.
c.Liver, kidney, heart and
other major organs functionally or severely impaired
patients.
d.Patients with more severe
infections.
(2)Monotherapy: Previous
chemotherapy more effective treatment of colorectal cancer
include fluorouracil, nitrosourea, mitomycin (MMC),
cisplatin class (DDP), and anthracycline antibiotics, etc. ,
however, the efficacy of these drugs still have some
limitations.
Among them, chemotherapy using
fluorouracil for colorectal cancer haveover 40-years
history. So far it is still the main drug. However, the use
of the method has been improved.
1)5-Fu for Anti-metabolite
chemotherapy drugs, function in the cell cycle of the
sensitive S period of cancer cells, while other periods are
not sensitive. If intravenous injection is used as a method
of administration, isonly effective for about 10% of the
cells in the S period. However, if the full course of
medication with 120 h (5 days and nights) continuous
infusion therapy methods (now make more use of intravenous
micro pumps). An effective concentration of 5-FU is always
maintained during that period. All cancer cells in the S
period are all affected by 5- FU effects, therefore, the
effects of chemotherapy is improved. The bone marrow
toxicity and gastrointestinal reactions are reduced, but
chemical phlebitis is increased at the venous injection
site.
2) CF (Leucovorin, Leucovorin
or folinic acid) which took nearly 20 years to discover, can
improve the anti-tumor effect of 5-FU, so treat patients
with colorectal cancer whose remission rates doubled. CF
venous injection into tumor cells in vivo 2h reached its
peak. At this point best give 5-FU (5-FU as intravenous
injection, peak plasma lasted only 10 minutes. So if at the
time of intravenous injection, immediately bolus 5-FU. If
the 5-FU peak has not yet been reached its peak or is over,
then CF’s chemotherapeutic role is bound to be adversely
affected). For a drug such as 5-FU, preclude continuous
giving the drug by day and by night. For CF, oral
administration is better. Oral intake 15 mg every two hours.
For better sleep quality at night, can change to 30 mg
before going to sleep first time.
In recent years, there are
three kinds of new drugs used in clinical treatment of
colorectal cancer, they are: Oxaliplatin (Trade names are:
Eloxatin, L-OHP, Grass platinum, Oxaliplatin etc.), CPT (Irinotecan,
CPT-11), Xeloda. According to research, the traditional CF +
5 – FU program allows Stage III patients after surgery, a
better 5-year survival rate compared with plain surgery
alone. This group’s 5-year survival rate is higher about 5%.
Now a new drug application is expected to make the 5-year
survival rate increase about 10%, but, its price is more
expensive.
(3)Combination Chemotherapy:
Combination Chemotherapy with improved efficacy, with
decreased or not increased toxicity. Due to various
excellent herbs which can reduce or delay, there has been a
lot of Combination Chemotherapy used for treatment of
colorectal cancer. Clinically often preclude the use of a
variety of cytotoxic agents or cytotoxic drugs, and
biochemical use in combination with bioregulators, usually
5-FU or its derivatives as a basic medication. Its reported
efficient range is around 10%-52%. but mostly are in the 20%
or so, effective range.
Chemotherapy Methods commonly
used for Colorectal Cancer:
1)FM Program: The total
effective rate of 21%, FM Program was considered to be an
effective and safe adjuvant chemotherapy program methodfor
use after surgery. It can significantly increase the
five-year survival rate, currently due to MMC bone marrow
suppression and renal toxicity with each decreasing
application. 5-FU, 1,000 mg/ml, infusion, the first 1-4
days, repeat every four (4) weeks. MMC, 15-20 mg/ml,
intravenous, first day, repeat every eight (8) weeks.
2)5-FU/CF Program: This program
is currently the most basic treatment of colorectal cancer.
It has been reported that the treatment of advance
colorectal cancer effective rate of 23%, can reduce the
recurrence rate of 35% after surgery, and the mortality rate
by 22%. But most of the results don’t reach this level.
Usage is: CF, 100 – 200 mg, add 5% glucose solution or
saline infusion 250 ml, after 2h drops, drop to half, add
5-FU 370-400 mg/ml infusion, 1 time/day, continue for 5 days
for one treatment, repeat for four weeks. This can be used
in conjunction with six treatments.
3)5-FU/LV (Levamisole is a
medication available for treatment of parasitic worm
infections and certain cancer. Levamisole interferes with
the growth of cancer.) Program has been reported to use the
program as adjuvant chemotherapy. Reduces the recurrence
rate of Dukes C stage colon cancer post-surgery
patients’recurrent rate by 40%. Reduces mortality rate by
33%. But because most of the results didn’t reach this good
level, it has rarely been used in recent years. Usage is: 28
days after surgery, 5-FU 450 mg/ml infusion, once per day,
continue for 5 days. Afterwards, once per week, continue for
48 weeks. 28 days after surgery, start use oral LV 50 mg
once every 8 hours, continue for 3 days, repeat once every 2
weeks, total use one year.
4)5-FU/CF/LV Program: This
program was also effective for Stage II-III Level colorectal
cancer adjuvant chemotherapy. This scenario has been
reportedly compared with 5-FU/CF and 5-FU/LV program with a
higher effective rate, CF and LV can enhance the role of
5-FU, but with different mechanisms of action, so using CF
and LV with double adjustment can further enhance the
efficacy of 5-FU. But with the same effect as majority
treatments showing poor results, in recent years, there were
fewer applications. Usage is : CF 20 mg/ml, 5-FU 370 mg/ml,
infusion, once per day, continue for 5 days as one
treatment, repeat for four weeks, total use6 Treatments. LV
50 mg at a time, 3 times per day, repeat once every 2 weeks,
total usehalf a year. Other Programs also include FAM
program (5-FU + ADM + MMC), FAP program (5-FU + ADM + DDP),
FP program (5-FU + DDP) etc. Because traditional of CF plus
5-FU treatment of colorectal cancer, most efficient around
20% (CR + PR). The recent application of oxaliplatin, cape
expansion, and new drugssuch asXeloda have an effective rate
of 25% - 40%. Chemotherapy is bringing new hot spots for
colorectal cancer research. Common scenarios and doses are:
a)L-OHP + 5-FU/CF program: CF,
100-200 mg infusion forthe first 1-5 days. 5-FU, 375-425
mg/ml infusion for the first 1-5 days. Eloxatin, 130 mg/ml,
infusion to maintain for 2 hours, for the first day. Repeat
every 4 weeks. In the above mentioned 5-FU infusion for 5
days dose, a micro pump can also be used intravenously for 5
days and nights, with CF Infusion Oral instead.
b)CPT-11+5-FU/CF program: CF,
200 mg infusion for the first 1-5 days. 5-FU, 300 mg/ml
infusion for the first 1-5 days. CPT-11,125 mg/ml, infusion
to maintain 90 minutes, once every week, for a total 4
times. Repeat every 6 weeks. Above 5-FU intravenous dose for
5 days with micro pump can also be used intravenously for 5
days and nights, with CF intravenous, oral instead.
c)In the above scheme, 5-FU can
use Xeloda instead (1,500 mg, 2 times/day, orally for 14-15
days), Xeloda may be used alone Chemotherapy, Usage is:
Xeloda 2,000 mg oral, 2 times per day, continue for 2 weeks,
stop one week and repeat the next treatment. Regarding 5-FU,
oxaliplatin, CFT-11, joint applications Xelola several drugs
(including Oxalilatin + CPT-11, Xeloda + Oxaliplatin, Xeloda
+ CVT-11, etc.) as well as the efficacy of adjuvant
Chemotherapy after surgery, and it continues to be under
further study.
(4)Precautions:
1)Chemotherapy drugs can cause
decreased bone marrow function and organ dysfunction, and
one should therefore periodically check the normality of
blood, liver and kidney function during chemotherapy, in
order to detect and deal with.
2)Severe stomatitis during
chemotherapy, diarrhea, or liver and renal dysfunction,
chemotherapy should be deactivated, and the symptoms
treated. During oxaliplatin treatment avoid contact with
cold objects (cold water,cold food, cold wind) should be
avoided. During CPT-11, treatment should pay attention to
deal with diarrhea (after medication within 24 hours may use
atropine, medication after 24 hours take “Imodium”, 1 pill
every 2 hours. Also taken orfloxacin or ofloxacin, need to
pay attention to rehydration, until the diarrhea stops after
2 hours). Improper handling can cause dehydration,
electrolytic disorders and even shock.
3)No improvement, or worsen
condition in 2-3 cycles of illness after treatment.
Chemotherapy drugs should be discontinued or replaced. In
summary, in the recent 30 years in the field of colorectal
cancer chemotherapy, 5-FU still maintains its dominant
position. As with transforming acid platinum, CPT and other
new drug combination use also reducesthe recurrence and
relocation and continues to improve the survival rate with
new forward movement.

Western Medicine Treatment of
Colorectal Cancer:
(1)Surgical Treatment of
Colorectal Cancer. Surgical Principles: With increasing
incidence of colorectal cancer year after year, all kind of
new technologies and new treatments continue to emerge.
However, based on the current situation, surgical treatment
of colorectal cancer is still the most effective method. The
basic principle of colorectal cancer surgery is also
consistent with the basic principle of tumor surgery
operation. Overall, the three principles are radical,
safety, and functionality, among them, in the case of when
the tumor can be ressected. The first principle requires
respect through radical. Secondly, take into account
security, and finally, try to consider the functional
principle of surgery:
1)Colorectal Surgical Approach:
a)Local Excision: Local
resection refers to resection part of intestinal in the area
of tumor, suitable for early colon cancer and benign tumor,
confined to the mucosa or muscularis mucosa. Section located
in the muscle is mucosa, and if located in the submucosa,
malignant tumors can be found. In a few cases, there may be
the presence of regional lymph node micrometastases and
metastasis. If you only perform local excision, it may not
cure root requirements, such cases should be cautious to
preclude the use of local excision. Local excision range may
include intestinal full thickness, cut fate range from the
tumor no less than 2 cm. Can make endoscopic mucosal
resection, or by anal mucosal layer, submucosa, and partial
resection of the muscle.
b)Intestinal Resection:
Intestinal resection refers to the removal of a certain
length, including the cancerous tumor of the intestine.
General requirements on the bottom cut range from the tumor
should not be less than 5.0 cm. Bowel tumor resection should
include appropriate mesorectal excision, namely the
requirement to achieve the DL. Suitable for large benign
tumors, and some limited submucosal, superficial muscle
cancer, also including non-lymph node affected metastasis
cancer.
c)Radical Mastectomy: Radical
mastectomy or absolute mastectomy means absolutely complete
surgical resection of the tumor and clearing the regional
lymph nodes, and includes the histological examination of
the various cut ranges, in all tissue without residual
cancer.
d)Joint Exenteration: Combined
colon cancer and joint exenteration in cases of invasion of
adjacent organs cases, often use as a radical surgical
application. However, in some cases, such as when cancer
invades other organs, it may occur as an obstruction or a
perforation, or fistula formation, and for the expected
survival time is longer patient, even if distant spread has
occurred, can still use palliative resection combined with
organ excision.
e)Palliative Tumor Resection:
Absolute palliative tumor resection refers to the ability of
the naked eye to see residual tumors in patients. If it
already exists in the peritoneum, liver metastasis and
distant non-regional lymph nodes, then metastases cannot be
resected in the full spectrum of cases. Perform relative
palliative tumor resection (or relative radical mastectomy),
although the radical surgical mastectomy may be required.
During surgery, visually determine if tumor resection has
been exhausted. But after histologically confirmed at the
tissue margin, even base residual tumor or lymph node
removal at the highest level have metastasis.
(2)Radiation Treatment of
Colorectal Cancer:
1)Therapeutic Class: Depending
on the nature and purpose of treatment, Radiation Therapy
can be divided into Radical Radiotherapy and Palliative
Radiotherapy.
2)Radiotherapy:
a) Preoperative radiotherapy:
Preoperative radiotherapy in the treatment of colorectal
cancer overall position has been gradually affirmed.
b) Post-operative radiotherapy:
In patients with colorectal cancer operation after five
years about half died of local recurrence. This is true for
colorectal cancer after pelvic surgery, and for anastomotic,
perineum and other local recurrence. In Stage II patients
after surgery, the recurrence death rate can go up to
20%-40%; in Stage III patients, the recurrence death rate
can be as high as 40%-70%. Therefore, how to prevent and
treat local recurrence of colorectal cancer is still the
focus of the study. Currently, although the efficacy of
post-operative radiotherapy of various reports is also
inconsistent, but after colorectal cancer surgery combined
with chemoradiotherapy, it is still the standard adjuvant
therapy. General believed, after surgery, those that begin
early postoperative radiotherapy fared better. Start
treatment within two months after surgery for better
results. Due to the low rate of postoperative local
recurrence in Stage I patients, it is therefore not
necessary to do radiotherapy. In Stage II, and Stage III
patients, especially those with obvious foreign lesion
invasion, thereare more regional lymph node metastasis,
after surgery with residues localized, which often need post
operative radiotherapy.
c) “Sandwich” type of radiation
therapy: Before the day of surgery, or during the morning of
surgery shoot 5 Gy, to decrease cancer cell activity. Then
perform surgery. If after surgery, pathological examination
show Dukes B, or C stages, then use postoperative
radiotherapy with 45 Gy/5 weeks. Can also use before surgery
15 Gy/5 times; Postoperative Dukes B or C Stage patients
again give 40 Gy/20 times. Mohiuddin report “Sandwich” type
treatment of patients with 5-year survival rate was 78%,
there are significant differences with the pure surgery
groups of 34%. In recent years, due to longer intervals
before and after treatment, and lack of integrity, the
radiation dose is not easy to grasp, thus, this method, has
decreasing usage tendency.
3)Anal Cancer Chemotherapy:
Anal cancer is about 85% of squamous cell carcinoma, and
squamous cell carcinoma are more sensitive to radiotherapy
and chemotherapy. Chemotherapeutic drugs such as 5-FU,
Mitomycin (MMC) and Cislatin (DDP), etc. have confirmed
radiosensitization. In view of this, currently in the United
States and Europe “chemotherapy” has become the preferred
treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal, and
has achieved good results.
4)Radiation reaction and
treatment: After radiotherapy, follow-up once every 2-3
months, perform routine inspection, in order to understand
the reaction after radiotherapy, and for any complications,
and handle in a timely manner. Preoperative radiotherapy
dose >= 40Gy perineal can significantly delay wound healing
time. However, there is no change in the quality of healing.
The results of a randomized trial, Wassif reported that a
group considered operative mortality and that complications
of preoperative radiotherapy are equal to zero. If
radiotherapy can fully comply, split dose, the basic
principle of dose volume effects such as radiation biology,
preoperative radiotherapy has almost no complications. At
the same time, it will not increase complications in
patients after surgery due to preoperative radiotherapy.
Postoperative radiotherapy can cause perineal scar
sclerosis, or a mild enteritis, or cystitis, which can
usually be relieved after symptomatic treatment.
(3)Treatment of Recurrence of
Colorectal Cancer and Metastasis. After colorectal cancer
radical surgery, about 40% of patients had tumor recurrence
and metastasis. Recurrence in these patients have 20%-30% of
local recurrence, 50%-80% are distant metastases. Usually
those prone to colon cancer have distant recurrence of colon
cancer, and colorectal cancer patients can easy have local
recurrence colorectal cancer. Approximately 80% of patients
with distant metastases have lesions confined to the
abdomen, the most common site of distant metastasis are the
liver, followed by the lung, the bone, and the brain. Less
than 15% of patients have single site of tumor recurrence
and metastasis, and there is the possibility of radical
resection again. Depending on local recurrence range of
lesions, choose if surgery is needed again, and decide which
type of surgery and scope. For patients with liver
metastases, such as no other parts except liver for
recurrence or metastasis, for patient with lung metastases,
such as no other parts except lung for recurrence or
metastasis. Depending on the number and scope of metastases,
determine whether to perform surgery, and combined treatment
with chemotherapy plus. Under normal circumstances 20%-30%
of liver metastases and 10%-20% of lung metastases can be
resected. In most reports, the resection overall 5-year
survival rate is 20%-30%. Therefore, follow-up found in the
liver and lung metastases, depending on the case, should
strive for surgery. For patients who can’t have resection if
chemotherapy is effective, some patients may still be
eligible for resection will have opportunities for cure.
1)Treatment of local regional
recurrence: as reported in the literature. For general
colorectal cancer after radical surgery, the local regional
recurrence rate is about 1/3.
2)Treatment of liver
metastases: In colorectal cancer, the liver is the most
common site of metastases, Reported 40%-50% of colorectal
liver metastases can happen at the same time or at different
time, within 20%-25% of the lesions confined to the liver
shift. Although previously reported in the literature, after
liver metastasis, the prognosis is poor and the average
survival period not exceeding 18 months. But in recent years
due to the development of applications, and comprehensive
treatment of chemotherapy drugs, after aggressive treatment
of colorectal liver metastases can still get about 35% of
the 5-year survival rate.
3)Treatment of Lung Metastases:
Abdominal lung metastasis is one of the most common
colorectal cancer, in all colorectal cancer, Lung metastases
account for 10%-20%. Lung Metastases are often accompanied
by full-body (systemic) metastases. X-ray examination in the
diagnosis of lung metastases may provide valuable
information. CT examination can accurately estimate the
number and location of lung disease. Fiber bronchoscopy
brush or needle biopsy can clearly determine pathological
type. Sputum cytology check can also provide a reference,
however, the positive dectection rate is low.
4)Treatment of Ovarian
Metastases: Women with ovarian metastasis of colorectal
cancer patients is also a more common problem, and are
generalized as a Krukenberg tumor. As reported in the
literature, colorectal surgery and postoperative follow-up
of ovarian metastases found opportunities to 3%-25%, Within
surgery, visual observation of post-surgery pathological
examination revealed ovarian metastases each take 2%-5%, and
metachronous ovarian metastases take 3%-8%. Half of the
primary tumor is located in the sigmoid colon, and the
rectum accounted for 25%. B Ultrasound, CT, MRI examination
can follow-up preoperative and postoperative ovarian
metastases, but still can miss diagnosis of smaller or older
metastases mass. Final diagnosis depends on
histopathological examination.
3 Dietary Health
1. Dietary Principles
(1) Colon cancer and colorectal
cancer patients have recurrent outbreak, delayed healing of
diarrhea, and weak digestion. Therefore, one should eat food
that is easy to digest and absorb.
(2) Colorectal cancer patients
mostly have blood in the stool. Advanced patients often have
a lot of blood in the stool, that’s why they should eat less
or don’t eat irritating and spicy food.
(3) Diarrhea or terminally ill
patients with prolonged fever, sweating, and damaged fluid
flow, should drink more water or soup liquid. The main
course can include staple porridge, noodles and other
semi-liquid diet.
(4) Patients mostly have a poor
appetite, nausea and even vomiting. It is appropriate to
have an intake of light food, and avoid greasy foods.
(5) Colorectal cancer patients
at advanced stage have chronic diarrhea, blood in stool,
fever, and a lot of nutrient and water loss, body weight
loss, and loss to both Qi blood. Serve a nutritious fluid
juice and a medicinal diet.
Also Can Take:
(1) Mushroom Porridge: Fresh
mushrooms 30g (or dry goods 9g), red sticky rice 30g, add
salt, oil, and appropriate amount of MSG. Take in an empty
stomach, process a healthy and effectiveness balance stomach
function. Use for colorectal cancer prevention and early
treatment of colorectal treatment, or for after-surgery
rehabilitation.
(2) Bamboo Leaves Green Bean
Dumplings: Fresh Bamboo leaves, Green Bean 500g, Sticky
Rice. Clean and drain bamboo leaves. Soak green beans in
cold water for half an hour. Wash and drain together with
sticky rice, and hammerevenly. Use 4 pieces bamboo leaves,
green bean, and stick rice 30-40g. Pack into a triangular
dumplings or quadrangular dumplings. Use thread to tie up.
Then, put the dumplings in the pot, immerse in cold
water,and use high fire to cook for 3-4 hours, until the
soup thickens, and until sticky rice and green beans are
cooked. Twice daily, drink the dumplings soup in one small
bowl each time, and eat 2 pieces of dumpling. Has a
detoxifying effect, especially to cure colorectal cancer.
4Preventive Care
Colorectal cancer is a serious
threat to human life and health , dueto the ferociousness of
the tumors. Throughout the world, epidemiological data
indicate that colorectal cancer ranks number three (3), with
regard to all kinds of ferocious tumors. In recent years,
with economic development, China’s living standards have
improved, and incidence of colorectal cancer are showing an
increasing trend year by year, so the significance of
colorectal cancer prevention are becoming more meaningful
and more important.
I. Primary Prevention
Reduce, eliminate pathogenic
factors for colorectal cancer, and inhibit normal cells
change to cancer cells process,
(1) Dietary Modification
Although colorectal cancer has
a certain genetic predisposition, but the vast majority of
colorectal cancer is sporadic due to environmental factors.
Particularly, it is closely related to dietary factors.
Dietary intervention can reduce the incidence of Colorectal
Cancer,
1)Energy Intake: Most studies
show that energy intake and colorectal cancer occurrence
havean association. The total energy intake and colorectal
cancer risk relationship, whether the energy intake is
protein, fat, or carbohydrates, it is shown that less energy
intake may reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer.
2)Fat and Red Meat: Colorectal
cancer is closely associated with animal fat and meat,
Studies that compared high-fat women and low-fat women
injection have shown to increase colorectal cancer risk by
32%. Among meat intake, red meat is a strong risk factor for
colorectal cancer occurrence. Reducing the amount of dietary
fat, especially after trying to eat less grilled brown meat,
will help to prevent the incidence of colorectal cancer.
3)Fruits, Vegetables and
Dietary Fiber: Cellulose can increase the amount of manure,
and help dilute carcinogens in the colon. Absorption of bile
sour salts can reduce incidence of colorectal cancer.
Therefore, in the usual diet, one should intake vegetables,
fruits, and dietary fiber as much as possible. Proper diet,
will aid in reducing the incidence of colorectal cancer.
4)Vitamins and Trace elements:
Studies have shown that Vitamin A, C, E can make adenoma
patients with colonic epithelial hyperplasia convert to
normal. Current study of the relationship of antioxidant
vitamins to prevent colorectal cancer, trace elements and
colorectal cancer are not known in detail. Folic acid can
reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer, but current data
do not support the use of. Because the exact mechanism is
unclear.
5)Dietary Anti-Carcinogen: Diet
includes Garlic, Onions, leeks, scallion contain sulfide
citrus containing Terpene grape, strawberries, apples
contain phenol, plants, as well as carrots, yams category,
watermelon contains carotene, are considered to be capable
of inhibiting mutation, and are therefore, anti-cancer.
Especially garlic, studies have shown that garlic is the
strongest protective effect of leaving people suffering from
distant (metastasis) colon cancer.
(2) Change Lifestyle
1) Obesity and Exercise:
Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, is an independent
risk factor for colorectal cancer. Too little physical
activity is a risk factor for colorectal cancer. Physical
activity can affect peristalsis knot feces, so as to achieve
the role of prevention of colorectal cancer,
2) Smoke: Relationship between
smoking and colorectal cancer is not very sure, but smoking
is a risk factor for colorectal cancer tumor has been
confirmed. Present studies suggest that smoking is a
stimulating factor for producing/inducing colorectal cancer
genes, but that it needs about 40 years of time to manifest
itself.
3) Drinking: There is an
alcohol intake and colorectal cancer relationship. Alcohol
is also a risk factor for colorectal adenomas. But the exact
cause is unclear. Reducing alcohol intake is conducive to
the prevention of colorectal cancer.
4) Reproductive Factors:
Hormonal and reproductive factors may affect the incidence
of colorectal cancer. American studies show a higher
incidence of colorectal cancer among single women than
married women. Some people think that reproductive hormone
scan affect bile acid metabolism.
(3) Drug
Many epidemiological studies
have shown that long-term use of non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs can reduce the incidence of
Colorectal Cancer. Every month taking a low dose of asprin
for 10-15 times can reduce the relative risk of colorectal
cancer by 40%-50%, but there are also studies do not support
this assertion. Also, regarding the dosage and the
administration times of taking non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs, side effects caused by long-term
use also needs further study.
(4) Treatment of precancerous
lesions, pathological changes
For patients with colorectal
adenomas and ulcerative colitis, the incidence of colorectal
cancer is significantly increased. Through census, and
follow-up, and early excision of adenoma, and treatment of
colitis, can reduce the mortality rate of colorectal cancer.
Especially those who have a family history, through genetic
testing, and screening of high risk populations, and
undergoing a thorough colonoscopy, is an important aspect of
the work of colorectal cancer prevention.
II. Secondary Prevention
Secondary Prevention of cancer
tumor, namely early detection, includes early diagnosis and
early treatment to prevent or reduce death-causing tumors.
The progress and development of colorectal cancer is a
relatively long process, from pre-cancerous lesions to
invasive cancer. It is estimated that after 10-15 years, a
census provides an opportunity to detect early lesions, and
the census is an important means of secondary prevention.
III.Tertiary Prevention
Tertiary Prevention as an
active treatment for cancer patients. To improve the quality
of life and to prolong patient survival, it is being taken
to the surgical treatment of colorectal cancer patients.
This is supported by appropriate chemotherapy, Chinese
medicine treatment, immunotherapy treatment, all of which
improves the treatment of colorectal cancer.
5. Pathogenesis
The incidence of colorectal
cancer in colon mucosa epithelium is caused by a variety of
genetic and environmental factors which lead to changes in
the results of the expression of multiple genes.
6. Disease Diagnosis
Diagnosis is based on:
1.Changes in bowel habits and
stool mucus, or in failed drug therapy resulting in blood
and pus. Inaccuracies in diagnosing sustained abdominal
pains.
2.Loss weight, anemia, acute
and chronic obstruction performance.
3.Palpable tumors, abdomen has
hard, less smooth surface, poor activity or can have mass
activities.
4.Continuous positive fecal
occult blood test. Carcino-embryonic antigen is increased.
5.See ulcers in fiber
colonscopy, tumor pump, stenosis. Tissue biopsy confirms
cancer.
6.See barium enema colon
filling defects, mucosal damage, and intestinal obstruction
signs of stiffness or luminal stenosis.
7 Inspection Methods
1. Changes in bowel habits and
stool often are the first showing symptoms. Stool can
increase, and there may be diarrhea, constipation, and stool
filled with mucus, pus and blood. There may be positioning
inaccuracies, abdominal pain, or abdominal discomfort,
flatulence, etc. In the mid and advanced stage, there is
weight loss, anemia, and acute and chronic obstruction.
2. When palpitating abdomen,
the texture ishard, the surface is not smooth,and not much
stool mass activity. (In horizontal, B colon cancer activity
range may be greater).
3. Intestinal obstruction is
obvious and peristaltic waves are visible. Occasionally,
there is acute bowel obstruction, cancer perforation, or
tumor ulceration, inheavily bleeding patients.
8 Complications
I. Colorectal Cancer
(Intestinal Obstruction)
(1) Intestinal Swelling
(2) Fluid Loss
(3) Electrolyte Imbalance
(4) Infection and Toxemia
II. Obstruction Colon Cancer
III. Colon Perforation
IV. Anocrectal Tumor Hemorrhage
