According to statistics from World Health Organization(WHO), in 2012, 8553 new cases of colorectal cancer were newly enlarged in the Philippines, the mortality rate ranked second with 6576 dead cases. Minimally invasive targeted therapy can help prevent colorectal cancer patients from colon and anus resection and suffering from the artificial anus.
Colorectal cancer includes rectal cancer and colon cancer. According to histology, most colorectal cancer are called adenocarcinoma (adenocarcinoma make up 98% of all colorectal cancer cases), fluid adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma; according to the form can be divided into mass type, invasive type and ulcerative.
• What is colon adenocarcinoma (or rectal adenocarcinoma)?
• What is the TNM staging of colorectal cancer?
Colorectal Cancer Stage I: 85%--95%;
Colorectal Cancer Stage II: 60%--80%;
Colorectal Cancer Stage III: 30%--60%;
Colorectal Cancer Stage IV: below 5%.
Torturous Traditional Treatment Technology
Operation:Big Trauma and High Risk; some of the patient may suffer great inconvenience and psychological disorder because operation cannot maintain their anal function.
Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy: unbearable toxic side effects, like hair loss, vomiting and etc.
Minimally Invasive Therapy: 2-3mm incision, few side effects, little pain
Interventional Therapy: With 1-2 mm incision, local administration of drug, the drug concentration of interventional therapy is 2-8 times higher than the systemic chemotherapy, few toxic side effects and kills cancer cells more effectively.
Gene Targeted Therapy: Killing cancer cells from their roots, gene-targeted therapy is the most radical anticancer treatment. Compared with traditional therapies, gene-targeted therapies is more accurate, more effective and safer.
TCM & Western Medicine: Combining with advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, tumor cells will be directly wiped out and killed accurately and powerfully. It also maximally reduces patient’s physical hurt.
Green Chemotherapy: Improves from traditional chemotherapy, by winning reasonable profit and avoiding loss, which greatly improves therapeutic effect and reduces side effects, being new chemical weapons to kill tumor.
