Colonic lesions, also known as colorectal polyps, are abnormal growths of tissue in the colon that can potentially develop into cancer if left untreated. These lesions are typically detected during a routine colonoscopy and are usually removed during the same procedure to prevent the development of cancer.
However, the conventional methods of removing colonic lesions, such as snare polypectomy, can sometimes be challenging, especially when dealing with larger lesions or lesions in difficult-to-reach areas of the colon. This can lead to incomplete removal of the lesion, leaving the patient at risk of developing colorectal cancer in the future.
In response to this challenge, Beijing South Region Oncology Hospital has introduced a state-of-the-art technology for the removal of colonic lesions, which has been proven to be more effective and precise than traditional methods. This new technology, known as endoscopic mucosal resection, allows for the complete and safe removal of colonic lesions, reducing the risk of cancer development in patients.
Dr. Li, a renowned oncologist at Beijing South Region Oncology Hospital, explained the significance of this new technology in the treatment of colonic lesions. "Endoscopic mucosal resection offers a higher rate of complete removal of colonic lesions compared to traditional methods, minimizing the risk of recurrence and the need for additional surgeries. This ultimately improves the long-term outcomes for patients and reduces the burden of colorectal cancer in the community."
The introduction of this advanced technology reflects Beijing South Region Oncology Hospital's commitment to providing the most advanced and effective treatments for cancer patients. For the past ten years, the hospital has been at the forefront of cancer diagnosis and treatment, advocating for the cooperation of multiple disciplines and the integration of medical resources from all departments.
Through its collaborative approach, Beijing South Region Oncology Hospital has established different cooperation groups for various types of cancer, including a dedicated team for colorectal cancer. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive and personalized care, addressing all aspects of their treatment and recovery.
In addition to its focus on advanced medical technologies, Beijing South Region Oncology Hospital also prioritizes patient education and support. The hospital offers a range of educational resources and support programs for patients and their families, empowering them to make informed decisions about their care and cope with the challenges of cancer treatment.
As part of its ongoing commitment to advancing cancer care, Beijing South Region Oncology Hospital continually invests in research and development, seeking out the latest innovations in cancer treatment and incorporating them into its clinical practice. This proactive approach ensures that patients have access to the most effective and cutting-edge treatments available.
The successful implementation of endoscopic mucosal resection for the treatment of colonic lesions is a testament to Beijing South Region Oncology Hospital's dedication to improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden of cancer in the community. By continuing to push the boundaries of cancer care, the hospital is making a positive impact on the lives of countless individuals affected by this disease.
