Colon cancer is a cancer that starts in the large intestine (colon). The colon is the last section of the digestive system. Colon cancer most often affects older persons, although it may strike anybody at any age. Polyps, which are tiny, non-cancerous (benign) collections of cells that grow on the interior of the colon, are the most common starting point. Some of these polyps may develop into colon cancer over time.
Polyps may be tiny and cause few, if any, symptoms. As a result, physicians advise routine screening tests to help prevent colon cancer by detecting and eliminating polyps before they develop into cancer.
Many therapies are available to help manage colon cancer, including surgery, radiation therapy, and pharmacological treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Colon cancer is also known as colorectal cancer, which is a combination of colon cancer and rectal cancer, which starts in the rectum. The symptoms vary, but if you see any of the following, get expert medical attention right once.
Signs and Symptoms of Colon Cancer Include:
• A persistent change in your bowel habits, including diarrhoea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool
• Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool
• Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain
• A feeling that your bowel doesn’t empty completely
• Weakness or fatigue
• Unexplained weight loss
In the early stages of colon cancer, many patients have no symptoms. Symptoms will most likely differ depending on the size and location of the cancer in your large intestine. In general, colon cancer develops when healthy cells in the colon get DNA alterations. The DNA of a cell carries a collection of instructions that direct the cell what to do.
Healthy cells divide and expand in an ordered manner to keep your body running smoothly. When a cell’s DNA is broken and it becomes malignant, it continues to divide, even when new cells aren’t required. As the cells multiply, they create a tumour. Cancer cells may spread over time and infiltrate and kill normal tissue nearby. Furthermore, malignant cells might spread to other areas of the body and create deposits there metastasis.
There are a number of lifestyle choices that greatly reduce your chances of becoming ill, for example, cutting out processed meats, increasing your fibre intake and reducing the amount of alcohol you consume.
• Older age. Colon cancer can be diagnosed at any age, but a majority of people with colon cancer are older than 50.
• If you’ve already had colon cancer or non-cancerous colon polyps, you have a greater risk of colon cancer in the future.
• Inflammatory intestinal conditions. Chronic inflammatory diseases of the colon, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, can increase your risk of colon cancer.
• Low-fiber, High-fat diet. Colon cancer and rectal cancer may be associated with a typical Western diet, which is low in fiber and high in fat and calories. Increased risk of colon cancer in people who eat
diets high in processed meat.
• Diabetes. People with diabetes or insulin resistance have an increased risk of colon cancer.
• Obesity. People who are obese have an increased risk of colon cancer and an increased risk of dying of colon cancer when compared with people considered normal weight.
• Smoking and Alcohol. People who smoke may have an increased risk of colon cancer as do those that consume too much alcohol.
