Patient's question:
I used to have stomach problems, and I was diagnosed with pelvic cancer last month. I heard that targeted drug therapy is effective for this condition. Could you please tell me what targeted drugs are available for pelvic cancer?Doctor's answer:
The preferred approach is not surgical resection but first-line adjuvant chemotherapy. Preoperative chemotherapy can effectively reduce tumor lesions and microscopic cancer cells, facilitating the surgery 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.
