If you contract colon cancer you will be treated by your oncologist with a variety of treatments including surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. At this point, this cancer is not curable, just manageable. But this cancer is one that responds well to early detection and that is the key to preventing illness and death. In the earliest stages of the cancer, small clusters of cells known as adenomatous polyps form in the lower intestine. If these polyps can be found and removed, the formation of cancer can be prevented.

There is an old saying – an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In the case of colon cancer this is certainly the case. Our intestinal tracts are responsible for moving hundreds of pounds of waste through our system and their flexible and supple composition is designed for just this purpose. Unfortunately, over time sludge can build up against the lining of our intestines. This sludge is made up of partially digested food, chemicals used in food processing, and the sticky residue of refined sugars. Not only does this ‘left behind’ matter provide a breeding ground for opportunistic bugs, but it can restrict the natural elimination cycle and provoke the creation of pre-cancerous polyps.

The colon is our waste disposal organ. Its job is to eliminate food wastes that our body can’t break down, absorb and utilize. This waste is full of bacteria…and when we don’t eliminate regularly, the waste is allowed to sit in the colon and can lead to cancer.

Risk factors for colon cancer are age, family history, other colon disorders such as IBS and Chron’s Disease. Diets high in fat, animal protein and refined carbohydrates seem to increase risk. You should eat foods high in fiber to help keep things moving along. Digestive enzymes will be a great help in breaking down the foods you eat so your body can utilize the nutrition.

Being diagnosed with colon rectal cancer is a stressful time for anyone. Colon rectal cancer occurs when there are malignant cancer cells that develop and grow in the tissues of the colon. The colon is part of human’s digestive system. Having a healthy digestive system is important to ensuring our overall sense of well-being. It is the hub where wastes are removed promptly out of our body and it is responsible for processing and absorbing all the crucial nutrients, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, water and minerals.

Not everybody falls into the high-risk group of patients who develop colon rectal cancer. Some people are more at risk than the others. The factors include someone who is at or over the age of fifty, someone who has a family medical history of colon cancer, a personal history of suffering from ovarian cancer, rectal cancer, endometrium or breast cancer, and a history of having polyps in the colon. Polyps are small pieces of bulging tissues in your colon. Continue reading ‘Colon Rectal Cancer Treatment’ »
