Core Tip
Core Tip: Colorectal rectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignant tumor in gastroenterology, ranking the third in the global incidence rate of malignant tumors, second only to lung cancer and breast cancer, with a mortality rate of about 8% of all malignant tumors. Like other malignant tumors, the etiology of CRC is still unclear. It may occur in the colon or anywhere in the rectum, but it is most common in the rectum and sigmoid colon, and the rest are in the cecum, ascending colon, descending colon and transverse colon in turn. So far, the radical treatment of CRC is still surgical treatment. The definition of radical cancer resection is to remove tumors visible to the naked eye, including primary and drainage lymph nodes. Although lesions can be removed during surgery, complete removal is still not easy for patients with extensive local diseases. For patients with advanced CRC, the tumor size is relatively large, there are many vascular variations, the field of vision of laparotomy is poor, and the operation is difficult.
