Classification and Stages of Colorectal Cancer
Understanding the classification and stages of colorectal cancer is essential to developing an effective treatment plan.
Classification:
Location classification: Depending on the location of the tumor in the colon or rectum, colorectal cancer can be divided into right colon cancer, left colon cancer, and rectal cancer.
Pathological classification: According to the histological characteristics of the tumor, colorectal cancer can be divided into adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell carcinoma, etc.
Stages:
The stage of colorectal cancer is based on the size of the tumor, the depth of invasion, lymph node metastases, and distant metastases. It’s usually divided into stage I, II, III, and IV.
How long can a patient with colorectal cancer live?
Colorectal cancer
Five-year survival rate
about 90%
Early stage (stage I)
about 50% to 78%
Mid-stage (stage II-III)
about 5% to 15%
Late stage (stage IV)
Interventional Treatment X Colorectal Cancer
Minimally invasive treatment guided by imaging technologies only requires an incision of 1-2 mm, puncture under the guidance of imaging technologies, and special catheters, guidewires, and other precision instruments are directly introduced into the human body to diagnose the lesion, or extract its tissue and choose to carry out local treatment at the same time or electively.
- 1.Less trauma and faster recovery: Compared with traditional surgery, interventional therapy has less trauma, less pain, and shorter recovery time, allowing patients to return to normal life faster.
- 2. High accuracy and remarkable effect: Under the guidance of imaging equipment, interventional therapy can accurately reach the lesion area, carry out precise treatment, and improve the treatment effect.
- 3. Less side effects and high safety: Due to small trauma, there are relatively few side effects and complications for interventional patients, and the safety is higher.
- 4. Conducive to preserving intestinal function: Interventional therapy can preserve the patient's intestinal function to the greatest extent and improve the patient's quality of life.
- 5. Improve the quality of life: Interventional therapy not only effectively treats colorectal cancer, but also alleviates the symptoms of patients, improves the quality of life, and prolongs the survival period.

Integrated Minimally Invasive Treatment VS Traditional Treatment
St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou mainly uses the new integrated anti-cancer model of "integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, minimally invasive targeting" to treat cancer, such as interventional therapy, seed implantation therapy, combined knife, microwave ablation, nanoknife, cryotherapy, etc., combined with each cancer patient's specific condition and personal needs, to develop a personalized integrated minimally invasive treatment plan.
Integrated Minimally Invasive Treatment
1. No need for excision and few complications: Minimally invasive treatment can greatly preserve the intestine and enter the body through a small incision, which greatly reduces complications such as postoperative infection.
2. Small trauma, fewer side effects, fewer complications, and fast recovery: Minimally invasive treatment is a minimally invasive non-open surgery, which has less postoperative pain and fast recovery, which can greatly improve the life quality of patients.
3. Short treatment time: The minimally invasive treatment cycle is about one week, the recovery cycle is short, and the effect is fast, helping patients return to normal life faster.
4. Patients do not need to wait for an appointment and are admitted to the hospital for immediate treatment.
5. One-on-one individual consultation to ensure the privacy and security of patients to a great extent.
- Surgical Resection:
1. There are many complications of resection: surgical resection of part of the intestine, intestinal anastomosis is not ideal, such as anastomotic leakage will cause fecal secretion in the intestinal tract to cause peritonitis, resulting in sepsis affecting life.
2. Affect bowel function: It’s easy to change bowel habits and increase the frequency of bowel movements.
3. Long recovery cycle: patients need to undergo a long period of dietary adjustment and rehabilitation training after surgery.
- Radiotherapy:
1. Serious side effects: radiotherapy is often accompanied by side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and mouth ulcers, which greatly affect the quality of life of patients.
2. Long treatment cycle: It usually lasts for many weeks or even months, affecting the patient's life and work.
3. Large trauma: If the number of radiotherapy is relatively high, it may lead to serious damage to the intestinal wall, and intestinal perforation is prone to occur.
- Chemotherapy:
1. Serious side effects: Often accompanied by obvious side effects such as hair loss, anemia, vomiting, immunosuppression, etc., which greatly affect the life quality of patients.
2. Unstable treatment effect: Patients are prone to problems such as drug resistance and immunosuppression to chemotherapy drugs, resulting in a decrease in treatment effect, an increase in complications, and treatment difficulty.
3. Long treatment cycle: Usually 8-24 times, affecting the patient's life and work.
