About chemotherapy of rectal cancer

The chemical composition of domestic chemotherapy drugs and imported chemotherapy drugs is the same, but the manufacturers are different and the technical level is different. Domestic chemotherapy drugs are imitations and should be imported, but there won't be much difference.

If FOLFOX regimen is used for rectal cancer chemotherapy, it is best to use 12 times, at least 6-8 times. You can calculate the total cost yourself. After comprehensive treatment, the median overall survival time of rectal cancer can reach more than 2 years, which is a cancer with good chemotherapy effect and should be actively treated.

It's true that you get what you pay for. Adding monoclonal antibody cetuximab or bevacizumab can obviously improve the curative effect, but the economic burden is also heavy.
