Description
Colorectal objectives refer to the goals of treating or preventing colorectal cancer and related conditions, which include early detection, complete tumor removal, and improving quality of life. For cancer treatment, objectives focus on cure, shrinking the tumor, symptom management, and preventing recurrence. For prevention, objectives emphasize reducing risk through lifestyle choices and adherence to screening recommendations.
Objectives
Early Detection and Screening:
Identifying precancerous polyps and early-stage colorectal cancer through screening tests like colonoscopies.
Complete Tumor Removal:
Surgical procedures aim to remove the entire tumor and any cancerous cells that may have spread to nearby tissues.
Symptom Management:
Treating symptoms like pain, eating problems, or bleeding caused by the cancer.
Quality of Life Enhancement:
Improving the overall well-being of patients, both during and after treatment.
Prevention of Recurrence:
Using adjuvant therapy or lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of the cancer returning.
Reducing Colorectal Cancer Death Rate:
Increasing screening rates, promoting healthy lifestyle choices, and accelerating research are key objectives.
Improving Survival Rates:
Raising the 5-year survival rate of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
