Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is also known as bowel or colon
cancer. It is formed in the rectum or colon. The
colon or rectum is infected with polyps which are
formed. These when detected early can be treated
with various treatments like radiation and
chemotherapy or surgery.
While there are numerous ways to avoid this
disease there are certain risk factors that cannot
be controlled. This is essentially formed in the GI
or the gastrointestinal tract.
The rectum helps in excretion
of waste products from the
body and hence people
afflicted with this disease have
a high risk factor. In case of
bowel cancer the tissues in the
colon are infected and polyps
are formed.
Though the polyps are removed
via surgery and radiation, the
risk of reoccurrence is always
there. Cancer cells grow in an
unrestricted way and hence it is
important to detect it in the
early stages.
Colorectal Cancer Symptoms
Cancer is a progressive disease but with research and timely
detection it is possible to provide treatment for the same
• Drastic change in bowel habits
• Blood in stools
• Tiredness and exhaustion
• Fever and chills
• Pain during excretion
• Cramps and strain in the colon area
Age too is a factor here and men are more prone than women
to get colon cancer.
Cancer Screening
• Blood works
• Ultrasound processes
• Biopsy
• computed tomography or CT scan.
The scan procedure is highlighted with the use of a contrast or a
dye via intravenous procedure and the scan indicated if the
tissues are spread in the other areas. Blood works peculiarly
related to cancer testing is worked and a study of antigen or
carcinoembryonic test is done to know the presence of cancer
cells in the body. Once the biopsy confirms that the cells or
tissues are malignant, further treatment can be started.
Risk Factors Of Colorectal Cancer
The study of cancer has revealed that certain factors allow the
tissues or cells to be formed in the body and thus result in
cancer
Basically they are of two types:
• Controlled risk factors
• Uncontrolled risk factors
