Question
My 51-year-old uncle has recently become pale and lost his appetite, possibly suffering from advanced colon cancer. What is the expected survival time for patients with advanced colon cancer?
Answer
The expected survival time for patients with advanced colon cancer depends on many factors, including the condition of the disease, the treatment situation, and the patient’s physical condition. Surgery is a good option, and chemotherapy may be considered after surgery. However, due to the significant side effects of chemotherapy and the potential harm to the body, it may be considered to combine traditional Chinese medicine for symptomatic treatment during chemotherapy, which may have a good effect.
