Colon cancer liver metastasis

We will meet many people, experience many things, and also encounter many diseases in our lives. Some diseases are caused by our own faults, some are caused by carelessness, and some diseases we are not even aware of when we are infected. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you are sick. The most important thing is to receive timely treatment. Only in this way can you ensure that your body can recover as soon as possible.

In fact, most diseases can be cured as long as they are discovered in time, including cancer. However, if some diseases are not discovered in time enough, and sometimes they have already metastasized, it will be very difficult to cure them at this time, such as liver metastasis of colon cancer. The following is a detailed introduction to colon cancer liver metastasis.

Colon cancer metastasis refers to the invasion of colon cancer tumor cells from the primary site into lymphatic vessels, blood vessels or other pathways and being carried to other locations where they continue to grow, forming a tumor of the same type as the primary tumor. This process is called metastasis, and the tumor formed is called a metastatic tumor or metastatic cancer. Metastasis is a hallmark of colon cancer progression. Scientific research shows that supplementing with the trace element selenium can effectively inhibit metastasis, especially selenium malt, which can block DNA damage induced by a variety of carcinogenic factors and play an anti-cancer role, that is, it plays an anti-cancer role.

The main distant metastasis of colon cancer is the liver, which is referred to here as colon cancer liver metastasis. Approximately 50% of patients will develop liver metastases before or after surgery. About 30% of patients have occult liver metastases that cannot be detected by ultrasound or CT before surgery. Colorectal cancer liver metastasis resection is safe and is currently a treatment that has the potential to improve long-term survival in patients with established metastases. However, only a small number (10%-20%) are suitable for surgical resection, and 70% of them recur after surgery.

The treatment of liver metastases from colon cancer requires comprehensive treatment based on the nature of the primary tumor. Local metastasis can be treated with minimally invasive argon-helium cryoablation. The advantage of local argon-helium cryoablation compared to surgical treatment is that it is less invasive and does not require any surgery or puncture. The treatment is effective and also needs to be combined with chemotherapy to achieve satisfactory results.

Through the above introduction, everyone probably has a certain degree of understanding of liver metastasis of colon cancer. At the same time, we must realize one thing, that is, the seriousness of liver metastasis of colon cancer. Although there are treatments, it is very difficult to treat. Therefore, we should strengthen physical exercise and enhance physical fitness in our daily life so as to stay away from the harm of the disease.
