Prevention of colon cancer start from now

One of the large intestine is the body's digestive system, colorectal cancer originate from malignant colorectal epithelial tissue, including colon, rectum and anal canal cancer, is one of the most common malignant tumor.

The main reason for colorectal cancer and its prevention

The incidence of colorectal cancer is not known yet entirely clear, the main reasons include:

(1) eating habits: such as high-protein, high fat, low-fiber diet high incidence of colorectal carcinoma.

(2) precancerous lesions: such as adenoma, schistosomiasis colitis and ulcerative colitis patients susceptible to colorectal cancer and so on.

(3) family history: Family members of someone who had suffered from colon cancer, immediate family members a higher risk of colorectal cancer patients.

Prevention of colorectal cancer is most important is to change the high-fat, high-protein, low-fiber diet, as well as early detection of colorectal adenomas and other pre-cancerous lesions, through active intervention, blocking the process of carcinogenesis. High-risk groups for colorectal cancer should be regular colonoscopy examination.

How early detection of colorectal cancer

Early detection of colorectal cancer screening depend on a reasonable, rather than waiting for symptoms and then to be checked. Population can be divided into three different groups receiving different screening programs.

(1) the general population: 45 years old can begin to accept after the screening of colorectal cancer, with an average carry out a check every 5-10 years.

(2) high-risk groups: There were gastrointestinal symptoms (especially blood in the stool, stool frequency, mucus and abdominal pain who would), we recommend the 40-year-old starts colorectal cancer screening, the average receive a check every 3-5 years.

(3) family history of the people: We recommend early treatment to a large oncology centers, by experienced clinicians to conduct careful collection of family history and some of the necessary checks, including genetic testing, to determine whether the population genetic tendencies. If there is genetic predisposition, by the clinician in accordance with a specific genetic program of close follow-up follow-up of tumors. If there is no obvious genetic predisposition, then the high-risk groups according to follow-up screening program.

Inspection of means of colorectal cancer

(1) refers to anal inspections

(2) fecal occult blood test can be used to discover a small amount of stool in the implicit (hidden) blood. This check is very cheap, not what the patient would not apply. If the test result is positive, further examination will be carried out to identify the exact cause of bleeding.

(3) fiber colonoscopy

(4) barium enema

(5) CT

(6) NMR

(7) PET

Common symptoms of colorectal cancer

(1) blood in the stool, stool shape change, change in bowel habits

(2), abdominal pain and abdominal discomfort

(3) abdominal mass

(4) acute or chronic intestinal obstruction symptoms:

For example, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, anal stop exhaust, defecation and so on.

(5) acute perforation or peritonitis symptoms: The patient, such as sudden severe abdominal pain, the whole abdominal tenderness, rebound tenderness, board-like abdomen, fever and systemic poisoning symptoms at this time should consider a merger of the perforation may be.

Colorectal cancer can be cured

Malignant tumors in various parts of the body, especially digestive tract tumors, colorectal cancer was the cancer treatment, one of the best.

Over the past 10 years, with the cancer treatment program progresses, the lives of patients with colorectal cancer continue to be extended, and the early stage patients can be cured. Contains Eloxatin treatment programs in the past 10 years, making more than 40,000 colorectal cancer patients to be cured.

Fudan University Cancer Hospital, summed up the 1999 -2004 year admitted 844 cases of surgical anterior resection of rectal cancer patients receiving survival, the overall 5-year survival rate as high as 75%, of which I view to 94.25%, II period of 84.46%, III Phase 62.90 percent, reached the international advanced level. That is 100 rectal cancer patients have 75 to fully cure for colorectal cancer was found earlier (I phase), 90% or more to fully cure.

So, come colorectal cancer patients do not become discouraged, do not give up treatment or delayed treatment, be sure to go to regular hospitals, especially cancer specialist hospital for standard treatment, by patients and doctors to join hands to conquer the large intestine.
