Patient's question:
Consult how to supplement after pelvic cancer surgery. What should pelvic cancer patients eat after surgery and how to recover? I would like to ask how to adjust the diet of cancer patients after surgery and what to eat to help with treatment.Doctor's answer:
The pelvic cavity involves multiple organs, and a general term like "pelvic cancer" is incorrect. If the cancer has metastasized to the pelvis, regardless of the type of cancer, the first choice is not surgical resection but rather initial adjuvant chemotherapy. Preoperative chemotherapy can effectively reduce tumor lesions and microscopic cancer cells, facilitating surgical procedures and prolonging the disease-free survival period post-surgery. Two to four cycles of chemotherapy are typically sufficient for surgical resection. Subsequently, consolidation chemotherapy should be continued to further extend the survival period of patients after treatment.
