Colon Cancer, Avoid the Early Detection

Colon or Colorectal cancer is a disease that moves slowly. It is estimated that it is time for the formation of colorectal cancer is 15 to 20 years.
"If the person a long time been exposed and do not do things to protect, as if to prevent, do not smoke, do not eat too much, exercise, and so on, so the cancer," said cancer specialist.
 
Explains Aru, similar to other types of cancer requires a long time to develop cancer, about 10 to 25 years. This was caused by an uncontrolled growth due to the exposure (exposure) carcinogenic substances in the environment. In the initial state is in the "correction" or the "elimination" of the monitoring system and "repair" of the body. If the cells are constantly exposed, usually in the long run, it will eventually lose the body and damage to the growth of "awesome" it is rampant, so the cancer.
Therefore, people are encouraged by early examination of existing blood in the stool and colonoscopy do because if there is a time to prevent actual, careful consideration to avoid high-stage cancer. "Early detection of colorectal cancer to those who will tread the age of 50 years recommended," said a specialist in internal medicine (internists), and as a consultant cancer.
However, Ronald suggested for those who have a family history of ovarian cancer, colon and lung cancer had to be, early diagnosis is recommended before the age of 50 years. So should the early diagnosis since the age of 40 years for those who will do a history of cancer in the family carried out. A simple way is to check at regular intervals dirt or feces, blood look weak, may indicate that the presence of these cancers of the colon.
"Recommended for persons aged 50 years undergoing colonoscopy and repeated every year ten," he advised.
 
For those who already have symptoms such as bleeding during bowel movements and closing roads or bowel obstruction, early detection is highly recommended. To colon cancer, surgical therapy is the main way and the most effective, especially if a disease is still localized enough.
But if it happens, metastasis (spread), the handling is difficult. With the development of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at the moment, allows people with advanced stages or relapse on adjuvant therapy. Adjuvant therapy is chemotherapy after surgery in patients with cancer in stage III ordered to kill the remaining cancer cells.
 
"Usually in the form of drug delivery sitostatica (cancer) with various combinations, sometimes with oral tablets or certain mixed," he said.
In accordance with the circumstances at the time the tumor is found, cancer in 4 steps or phases will be divided based on depth location in the intestine, whether the lymph nodes outside the colon, and whether the existing deployment in remote locations such as liver and lung (metastasis ). have steps or stages, the difference in life expectancy and other therapeutic modalities.
Cancer has been slow and it is feared will happen in a sudden someone with an already chronic situation. To this end, avoid risk factors that protect health, maintain a healthy lifestyle into action, which is highly recommended to avoid this disease.
