[Reporter Cai Shuyuan/Taichung Report]Ms. Lin, 54, went to the doctor for abdominal pain and bloody stools more than 5 years ago. She was found to have stage 4 colorectal cancer and liver metastases. Last year, the recurrence of 2 th degree and metastases to the peritoneum caused intestinal obstruction. The small intestine swelled like a large intestine. I was unable to defecate or eat, which caused an ammonia coma for some time. April this year, I received intraperitoneal high pressure aerosol chemotherapy and immune cell therapy. The cancer cells could not be seen, and the cancer index decreased. I was able to eat, defecate, and live well. I was optimistic and actively treated and have successfully passed 5 years of survival.
Zhang Shenji, director of peritoneal cancer treatment center and director of colorectal surgery at China Medical University Affiliated Hospital, said colorectal cancer ranked first among the top ten cancers in China. with about 15,000 new cases each year and 30% of them are in an advanced stage. Ms. Lin’s colorectal cancer For stage 4 cancer, the 5-year survival rate is only 5% to 10%, and the average survival rate is between 25 and 35 months. Ms. Lin is optimistic and actively cooperates with the treatment, and the survival period is more than 5 years.
Zhang Shenji pointed out that colorectal cancer is more likely to occur in people over the age of 50, with an average age of about 67. Nowadays, the younger population is not only related to the westernized diet, diet high in fat and sugar, many patients have no family history, and half of the patients are asymptomatic in the initial stage, and it is not uncommon to get cancer in the 20s and 30s. It is believed that it may be related to genes. It is recommended that at least one colonoscopy should be performed if you are over 45 years old. The survival rate of early diagnosis is more than 90%, and early treatment can be performed.
Zhang Shenji said colorectal cancer is more likely to go to the liver, lungs and peritoneum. Ms. Lin met them. When she was diagnosed, the tumor in her sigmoid colon had metastasized to her liver. The liver tumor was 10 cm in size. The lesion was resected, but she recurred and she metastasized to her lungs 2 years later. After further treatment and surgery, I felt abdominal distension and discomfort in October of last year. The examination found that there was a recurrence and the cancer cells had metastasized to multiple places in the peritoneum. Conventional intravenous chemotherapy did not work well.

Ms. Lin’s cancer cells diffusely metastasized to the peritoneum, causing intestinal obstruction, unable to defecate or eat. The small intestine with a diameter of 1 to 2cm swelled into a large intestine with a diameter of 5cm. Due to of the long-term inability to pass stool, she was sent to the emergency room in an ammonia coma. In April this year Receiving intraperitoneal high-pressure aerosol chemotherapy, through laparoscopic surgery, use a high-pressure nebulizer to spray the nanometer of the chemotherapy drug into the peritoneum, so that the drug can enter the peritoneal tissue more evenly and deeply to kill cancer cells, relieve intestinal obstruction, peritoneal cancer cells I can’t see, I can finally eat and taste the happiness.
Ms. Lin said she knew she was seriously ill, but the doctor encouraged her not to be pessimistic. To watch her children grow up and accompany her aging parents, she bravely battled cancer. She thanked the medical team and family for their support, and she also urged patients to be optimistic and cooperate with the treatment It’s the only way to fight cancer.
