Colon cancer occurs in the large intestine (colon) or the end of the large intestine (rectum) that functions to digest food and waste. It was the third highest cancer affects the world’s population also causes more than half a million people died.
Most colon cancer starts with the presence of polyps (growths) in the colon or rectum. Polyps grow from as small as a pin head up to the size of golf balls.
A few polyps are harmless, while others tend to be more severe and dangerous. Polyps takes six to eight years to become cancerous. Polyps can be removed before becoming cancerous.

Anyone can get colon cancer, regardless of gender. The disease is common among those aged 50 and over, and the risk increased with increasing age. If it is diagnosed early, prevention is possible, thus improving patient increase the chance of cure or prolong their life.

Colon cancer is divided into four stages. The first stage, the tumor that begins in the colon or rectum, the second stage, it spreads through the wall of the intestine and rectum, the third stage, lymph nodes and spreads approaching the fourth stage, the cancer continued to spread to other parts of the body such as liver and lungs.

Stages of colon cancer progression and the percentage of five-year survival chance

A) the tumor is only in the intestinal wall – 95 to 100 percent
B) tumor to penetrate the intestinal wall – 65 to 75 percent
C) causes swelling of the lymphatic spread – 30 to 40 percent
D) spread to other areas – less than five percent

The high risk group:

1) You or a family member had colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer

2) pain during defecation, such as inflammation of the colon (which causes diarrhea, sometimes with bloody mucus, and abdominal pain at the bottom) or Crohn’s disease (causing partial bowel obstruction and pain, and diarrhea) in a few years

3) Having a genetic syndromes such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Hereditary nonpolyposis cancer colorektal (HNCC)

Symptoms of Colon Cancer

1) rectal bleeding
2) diarrhea or constipation or alternating
3) stools black or bloody stools
4) Pain in abdomen
5) Weight loss
6) Anemia (anemia)

Cause of Colon Cancer

1) high-fat foods and low in fiber
l is rampant in the West
l is less common in the Far East
l practice is increasing in developing countries
2) Smoking and consuming alcohol
3) Obesity
l risk for obese women get colon cancer 50 percent higher than women of normal weight
l risk for obese men is 80 percent
4) Lack of physical activity

Three out of every 100 people have the disease due to hereditary factors. About 50 percent may survive five years after having colon cancer. Patients who have symptoms of this disease have to do the examination or barium enema as kolonoscopi.

Diagnosis of colon cancer

Kolonoscopi – therapeutic procedures such as removing polyps in the colon or rectum

examination of how best
sensitive and accurate test

It is recommended to do a colonoscopy if:

recurrent rectal bleeding
changes in routine bowel
weight loss or anemia
more than 40 years old
have family members suffering from colon cancer

Barium enema – colon included material contains barium (a tube inserted through the anus). X-ray and barium enema done after

As we know, many food coloring using chemically enhanced caramel food. One of the food product is cola drink. A US consumer advocacy group persuade Food and Drug Administration to banned the product. Pure caramel has been made from melted sugar but the other caramel that has been approved for coloring food product contain chemical such as ammonia and it will cause various cancers. Center for Science in the Public Interest has make studies into animals and found it effect their animals. The chemical reaction between ammonia and sugar have cause thousand of cancers in US population.

Serious stages of kidney cancer or renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurs when the kidney cells grew more severe and growing out of control.In most cases of kidney cancer, a tumor will start to look at the delicate lining of the kidney.Common signs seen in RCC include blood in the urine (haematuria), fatigue, weight loss, anemia, and pain or any group on the side or on the lower back.In most cases of this cancer, it is not easily detected during a physical examination. These factors cause the patient did not know they had cancer at an early stage. Many cases only be detected after the cancert up to a serious stage (stage three and four). In fact, it was detected after the patient has a variety of health symptoms. Although this type of cancer is not popular as breast or prostate cancer, the number of patients is increasing in elderly men aged 60 to 69 years. It is currently categorized as 10 major cancers that cause death. It is among the most difficult to treat tumors, with a five-year survival rate of about 68.9 percent.

Normally, those who practice unhealthy lifestyles, like smoking, high blood pressure and kidney disease are those most at risk of developing RCC.The main treatment for early stage RCC is doing surgery to remove cancer from the body. However, the patients who were diagnosed with RCC, about 25 percent to 30 percent patient will get cancer back after surgery and further treatment through surgery.

However, the last few years, RCC has targeted therapeutic pathways and specific molecular processes that affect cell growth, such as mTOR. It is a protein found in cells of the body for growth and cell division.The presence of Torisel (temsirolimus), an intravenous medication (IV) approved a new targeted treatment for advanced kidney cancer (also known as advanced kidney cells cancerous tumor) to bring hope to people with RCC who had a low survival rate. Patients to be treated with Torisel will through the careful assessment of their suitability to medication and risk factors for their prognosis will be evaluated by their current health situation, especially their liver.
It is a treatment once a week is given intravenously so the drugs can enter the blood drains directly. Thirty minutes before the patients received this treatment, your doctor will probably give them an intravenous antihistamine to help reduce the chance of possible allergic reactions. Full treatment is expected to take between 30 to 60 minutes. If antihistamines are given first, full treatment will take 60 to 90 minutes.

There’s another research from scientiest to detect cancer. In British Journal of Cancer, researchers sensors could distinguish whether a patient had breast, prostate cancer or bowel,irrespective of lifestyle, gender or age.
During the research at Technion Israel Institute of Technology, there’s a large distinguish between the breath of cancer patient and the breath of healthy patients. The sensors use uses gold nanoparticles to detect levels of so-called volatile organic compounds – measured in a few parts per billion – that become more elevated in cancer patients. The device could provide an early warning system that flags the disease before tumours become visible in X-rays.

The study involved 177 volunteers healthy people and cancer suffer.As a cancer grows, the surface of cells emits chemicals. The research found that sensors could be used to detect these chemicals in the breath.

Have you heard about herpes virus? Herpes viruses are a leading cause of human viral disease.The virus name come from Latin words means to creep.

There’s a news from Institure of Cancer Research in London found that the virus can treat patient that have neck and head cancer.
The method work using the virus that killing the cancer cells from inside and boost the immune system.
From the studies, the treatment were effective but there’s many things to look before using it as a primary method. This concept were testing to treat skin cancer patient but it not really work .

1. Chemotherapy: – This is also known as chemo. It is a treatment by which cancer cells are destroyed with the help of drugs. Chemotherapy helps to stop the development of cancer cells. These cancer cells are very dreadful, as they damage healthy cells very rapidly. This damage may bring different types of side effects. This cancer therapy treatment can cure cancer from the root, by destroying cancer cells or by slowing down the growth of caner cells.
2. Radiation Therapy: – This type of therapy is done by ionizing radiation that kills cancer tumors and cancer cells. Mostly cancer patients are given treatment with radiation therapy. This type of treatment can be given alone or with some other kind of cancer treatments. Well, radiation therapy is basically divided into two ways, internal and external.
3. Cryosurgery: – In cryosurgery abnormal cell are being killed with freezing. This is an internal and external surgical method. For liver cancer, this type of surgery is an alternative surgery. Cryosurgery is an inexpensive surgery and has no side effects.
