The terminal stage lasts about a year on average. In this case, the general condition of the patient is aggravated. With hepatitis, cholesterol levels decrease, but ascites and edema may develop. The terminal stage proceeds with episodes of hepatic encephalopathy, with extensive bleeding from the veins of the esophagus, which are varicose.
Death often occurs as a result of infection or sepsis.
Colon cancer. The etiology of colon cancer is currently not fully understood. But there are a number of factors that contribute to its occurrence. The risk of colon cancer is higher in people who eat red meat daily, and it also matters how the food is processed and whether carcinogens are used.
Polyps in the colon increase the risk of developing cancer. Another risk factor is heredity. If there were cases of cancer in the family, then it is worth being examined once a year by qualified doctors.
Signs. Signs of colon cancer include: violation of the stool, bleeding in thebowel, abdominal pain, false urge to defecate.
Intestinal bleeding is present in all patients diagnosed with cancer. At the initial stage, all these signs may not be noted. The terminal stage of cancer is accompanied by anemia, pale skin, fatigue.
Also, the terminal stage is accompanied by difficult defecation due to intestinal obstruction, so it is not uncommon for patients to complain of a feeling of incomplete emptying.
Diagnosis and treatment.
Diagnosing colon cancer is not difficult, now there are many ways to determine this type of disease. Such methods make it possible to detect cancer in more than 60% of patients, which makes it possible to start treatment on time.
With malignant tumors, drug treatment will not help, in this case only surgery. Sometimes an emergency operation is required when the life of the patient is threatened, for example, when diffuse bleeding has opened.
In addition to surgery, cancer is being fought with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Moreover, all types of treatment can be carried out in a combined form.
Future.
The future of a cancer patient depends on the stage. In the first stages, the patient can live at least 5 years after treatment. As the stage of the cancer increases, the results worsen.
