Colorectal Cancer Part 2: medical treatment or herbal?
The primary treatment for colorectal cancer is surgery. In an initial stage, the care that surgery. But in most cases, doctors refer patients to doctors after the surgery. And doctors, from my life experience in the development of the country, will always ask patients to undergo chemotherapy, even when the cancer was caught, was "at an early stage. The rationale is that they occur, for example, provides" protection "against future problems.
The cytostatics,fluorouracil, commonly known as 5-FU is the gold standard for the substance used. These substances were discovered in 1957 by Dr. Charles Heidelberger of the University of Wisconsin. According to Joel Hardman et al. (based drug therapy), 5-FU produced a partial response to 10% to 30% of patients with metastatic breast and gastrointestinal tract. The cytotoxic activity of 5-FU is enhanced when combined with agents such as leucovorin, interferon, methotrexate, cisplatin,etc.
In 1975, Dr. Charles Moetel the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, United States, found that the survival of patients with Dukes C colon cancer could be longer if treated with a combination of 5-FU and levamisole. Levamisole is a drug used in sheep, pigs and cattle for the control of the stomach and intestinal worms. It is also commonly used to treat infections of nematode parasites.
In 1998 it was found that a combination of 5-FU and leucovorin improves survival for patients with five yearsDuke's B and C colon cancer Leucovorin is the active form of vitamin B-complex
In light of the above observations, chemotherapy, has been hailed as a necessary adjuvant therapy after surgery for colorectal cancer. It was argued that adjuvant chemotherapy prolongs survival for patients with cancer. Övrigt said to improve the quality of life of patients (for example, if you think that the revision chemotherapy have a pleasant experience!).
Caseswhere the 5-FU is not actually used other drugs. For example, etc., irinotecan (Camptosar, CPT-11), oxaliplatin in combination with 5-FU, A recent development is the use of oral chemotherapy drugs such as capecitabine (Xeloda) and UFT (a combination of tegafur + uracil).
From the foregoing it appears that state-of-art medical-treatment of colorectal cancer is well founded on solid scientific data. E 'perceptions of the medical community in the world wants to believe in
Urgeread one of the many stories that I have entered my ten years of working with alternative therapies for cancer and complementary. Give the story some serious thought. Form your own opinion about what will happen if you suffer from cancer of the colon-rectum.
Case Study: Colon cancer – Surgery – declined further medical treatment – a sauce over nine years and doing great.
It 'been a few years ago the last I spoke with Joan, aa lawyer friend of mine. Dan is a fine morning in January 2005, I had a surprise phone call from Joan had. As we talked, I was told that his uncle was doing so well after an operation in the sauce for the recall kolonkanker. To be honest, I had completely forgotten this case. After the interview, I decided to go to Bob, a sign of the Sun to search for patient information. It was really nice that Bob has been very cooperative and took time to answer my questions. The followinge-mail communications.
Dear Bob, can I register, I ask you some questions:
a) When your father's cancer, what was then his age?
Bob: A place in late June 1997. He was 67.
b) What is cancer? Colon or rectum?
B: colon cancer.
c) Have you had surgery?
B: "If the surgery at Singapore General Hospital on 4 July 1997.
d) After the operation, chemotherapy or notradiotherapy, or both?
B: He had no chemotherapy or radiotherapy, as instructed by me after reading your book.
e) After the operation he had, what did the doctor say about the stage of cancer?
B: E 'was the beginning and the middle of the stage. Fortunately, the cancer is diagnosed in time.
f) was limited to colon cancer, or has spread to other organs?
B: The cancer is confined to the colon, although there was a placeleft lung. Fortunately, the cancer had not spread to other organs.
g) Have the doctor to ask him to go for chemotherapy or radiotherapy?
B: The doctor asked him to go in both treatments, but I spoke with my father and we decided against it because it was rather weak.
h) I assume that when he refused all medical treatment, you (not your dad?) came to visit me in Penang? Sorry, I remember this case.
B: We did not get to see you in Penang, because my father was notill. We communicated via fax and phone most of the time. My aunt (Joan, a lawyer above) was the main coordinator at the time.
i) Since he started taking the herbs?
B: Yes! He herbs is looking down for the operation.
j) was to take something or do something else besides my salsa?
B: No other drugs or herbs taken.
k) Where is he now?
B: My father is in good health, had changed his life. Walkingpractices of food consumption and regular attention.
It is now almost nine years ago, Bob's father was diagnosed with kolonkanker. He was on the sauce and changed his lifestyle and diet. It's worth all the problems. I venture to say that a calculated risk for the father of Bob (I want to play some might say) has taken. This is because there was never a chance for patients to choose a different path for their healing. Or we could do the opposite? It could be that aGamble, if one has been established, popular, the path specified?
