Patient's question:
My uncle used to be a truck driver who transported goods when he was young. He sat in the cab for long periods and eventually developed a mole, which they say is common among drivers—nine out of ten have moles. It started off mild and wasn't taken seriously. Last year, however, it had spread to colon cancer, and he needed surgery. How many types of colon cancer surgery are there?Doctor's answer:
Surgery for colorectal cancer mainly includes traditional open surgery, also known as laparotomy, as well as laparoscopic surgery, which causes relatively less psychological trauma. The choice can be based on the patient's condition and financial circumstances. Colorectal cancer is a common type of malignant tumor in the digestive tract. Some patients may experience significant changes in bowel habits and regularity. Early diagnosis can be achieved through colonoscopy, and surgery is the primary treatment method.
