左、右半结肠癌的差异

The differences between the left-side and the right-sided colon cancer

目前认为左、右半结肠癌是两种不同的疾病,二者在临床特征、流行病学、组织学、分子生物学、靶向药物治疗、预后等方面存在明显差异,因此二者的治疗理念也不尽相同。对于左、右半结肠癌差异的深入认识,可以指导临床医生在精准医疗时代对患者做出准确的个体化评价和精准化治疗。

Recent researches discovered that the left and right colon cancer are two different diseases, which differ significantly in clinical features, epidemiology, histology, molecular biology, targeted drug treatment and prognosis. So the treatments for the left and right colon cancer are different. Further understanding of the differences between the left and right colon cancers can guide clinicians to make accurate individual evaluations and precise treatments for patients in the era of accurate medical treatment.
