The patients with advanced stage of bowel cancer have obvious spreading and metastasis of cancer cells, which is not suitable for surgical treatment anymore. The patients with advanced stage of bowel cancer are generally physically weak, and can't tolerate the treatment of high toxicity and side-effects of radiotherapy. As long as patients choose appropriate methods and active treatment, they can improve the quality of life, reduce the symptoms and prolong the life. Patients with advanced intestinal cancer should keep optimism, actively cooperate with the treatment, and accept regular and professional treatment as soon as possible, which is the key to prolonging life.
How long a person can live with advanced bowel cancer still depends on the severity of the patient's condition and the sensitivity of the body to drugs, as well as the reasonable treatment plan. Everyone is different.
How long a patient can live with advanced bowel cancer can not be generalized, the specific time mainly depends on the patient's late treatment effect and daily life care, it is recommended that patients diagnosed with advanced stage should be actively treated, and cooperate with the appropriate care, in order to maximize the extension of the life of the period.
Advanced symptoms of rectal cancer

2. In anal finger examination, most of the lumps can be touched. In addition to the common systemic symptoms such as weight loss, loss of appetite, anemia, etc., patients with advanced stage of rectal cancer may also have regional *** symptoms such as increased frequency of defecation, incomplete defecation, frequent bowel movements, urgency, and heaviness of the cancerous tumor.
3. If the cancer invades the surrounding tissues and organs, symptoms such as difficulty in urination, frequent urination and pain in urination may appear; if the malignant tumor invades the presacral plexus, symptoms of sacrococcygeal and lumbar pain may appear; when it metastasizes to the liver, it will cause hepatomegaly, ascites and jaundice, and even malignant fluid and other manifestations of the patient. This is a common late stage symptom of rectal cancer.
4. The mucous membrane of intestinal tract will be stimulated and secretion will be increased, while small amount of mucous secretion will be discharged with stool. Sometimes constipation symptoms may also appear, but it is not caused by narrowing of intestinal lumen. When the cancer tumor continues to develop and stimulates the rectal mucosa more, the patient starts to feel mild discomfort in the rectum, or often has a feeling of no bowel movement, meanwhile, the mucus secretion increases, and streaks of mucus can be seen on the surface of stool. In the early stage of ulceration, the patient often has diarrhea, and the stool contains more mucus. When the surface of cancerous tumor is ulcerated, the stools are more thin and may be like watery and mixed with mucus and blood.

Rectal cancer, the most serious malignant tumor disease, will take away the patients' precious life when it develops to the late stage, and every year there are some rectal cancer patients died of the deterioration of rectal cancer. Rectal cancer is a very serious disease when it develops to the late stage, we all want to know what are the signs of rectal cancer before death, and we hope that we can alleviate the suffering of the patients in the late stage of rectal cancer at the last moment.
Rectum is at the end of digestive tract, there is no significant manifestation in the early stage, and some patients do not pay attention to the early manifestation, which often delay to the late stage. So, what are the pre-mortem manifestations of rectal cancer in late stage? Today, experts are invited to talk about the pre-mortem manifestations of rectal cancer in the late stage for us.
The pre-mortem signs of advanced rectal cancer mainly include anal finger examination, in which lumps can be touched, and in addition to general manifestations such as loss of appetite, weight loss and anemia which are usually seen in patients with advanced rectal cancer, there are also manifestations of partial influence of cancer such as increased frequency of defecation, incomplete defecation, frequent bowel movements, and acute and severe bowel movements. Enlargement of cancer tumor may lead to narrowing of intestinal lumen and intestinal obstruction. When the cancer invades the peripheral arrangement, it may cause difficult urination, frequent urination, painful urination and other manifestations; when it invades the presacral plexus, it may present sacrococcygeal and lumbar pain; and when it transfers to the liver, it may cause hepatomegaly, ascites and jaundice, and even malignant fluid and other manifestations. When metastasized to liver, it will lead to hepatomegaly, ascites, jaundice and even malaise, etc. Clinical manifestations of rectal cancer in advanced stage of ante-mortem embodiment are comparatively significant, and large swelling is often presented on rectal mucosa, which can be palpated during rectal diagnosis. The other arrangements of the body show failure of rectal cancer late pre-mortem manifestations!
In addition to the general manifestations such as loss of appetite, weight loss and anemia, patients with advanced rectal cancer also have the manifestations of partial influence of cancer such as increased frequency of defecation, incomplete defecation, frequent bowel movement and heaviness. Enlargement of cancer tumor may lead to narrowing of intestinal lumen and intestinal obstruction. When the cancer invades the peripheral arrangement, it can cause difficult urination, frequent urination, painful urination and other manifestations; when it invades the presacral plexus, it will present sacrococcygeal and lumbar pain; when it transfers to the liver, it will cause hepatomegaly, ascites and jaundice, and even malignant fluid and other manifestations.
Diet of patients with advanced rectal cancer
1. Patients with rectal cancer mostly have recurrent and prolonged diarrhea, and their digestive ability is weak, so they should be given food that is easy to digest and absorb.
2. Patients with advanced rectal cancer have prolonged diarrhea, blood in stool, fever, large amount of nutrients and water loss, emaciation, weight loss, and deficiency of gas and blood, so it is appropriate to take nutritious nourishing and flowing medicinal diet. According to the above suggestions of dietary contraindications of rectal cancer and doctors' treatment, rectal cancer patients can have better treatment of the disease.

Many researches have confirmed that the fiber in food can dilute the possible carcinogenic substances in fats and oils, and also accelerate the speed of carcinogenic substances to be discharged out of the body through the digestive system. You should also reduce the intake of fats and oils in your diet: excess fats and oils, especially animal fats, can *** bile acid secretion in the small intestine. When the amount of bile acid in the intestines is too high, it is easy to become carcinogenic, and promote the growth of cancer cells. Thus, high-fat diet and rectal cancer *** very closely.
