Colorectal cancer is a frequently diagnosed oncological condition in Romania and with high mortality, despite the fact that patients with this type of cancer can benefit from curative visa treatment, if the diagnosis had early.
For the early detection of colorectal cancer, screening is essential. It involves performing a test of occult hemorrhage in the blood and a colonoscopy, starting at the age of 50 or even earlier, if there are family risk or history factors.
Once the diagnosis is established, the next step is to indicate treatment. The most suitable treatment option for each case must be decided in the multidisciplinary oncological commission, in order to obtain the best long -term results.
The treatment for colon cancer is multimodal and may involve surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. When there is an indication for cancer surgery, it is important to know that operations can be performed both classically and minimally invasively, through laparoscopic or robotic surgery. In this sense, the patient must contact a specialized medical center, in which to have access to all the treatment methods and an experienced medical team.
It is also important to know that there are several types of surgery for the treatment of colorectal cancer. Thus, depending on the case, the surgeon may recommend performing a hemicolectomy, right or left, depending on the location of the tumor on the colon, rectummoid resection or resection, but also total pelvic extension. The latter is an extremely complex intervention, indicated in the advanced stages of pelvic cancer. Even if it is a radical operation, which involves the complete removal of pelvic organs and structures, with a fecal and urinary derivation, it is the only saving option in such cases.
