Colon cancer, the definition, symptoms

hello friend, you are in good health right?

Colorectal cancer or colon cancer (colon cancer) ranks third in the type of cancer most often found globally. The frequency of this type of cancer cases varies in each hemisphere. Western countries have a high enough level cases but in the countries of Asia and Africa are less common. In countries where the population tends to adopt a style

and the western diet are likely to have an increase in cases of colon cancer.
Colon is also known as large intestine, the colon is the longest. The colon is the last part of the digestive system, which is a channel along the 150-180 cm long 150 cm which was first called the colon, which then connects through approximately 15 cm from the anus (rectum) and ends at the anus.

Three or four hours after eating, the nutrients are absorbed into the body and leaving a liquid waste (liquid). Function as a modifier of the colon is the waste liquid into the stool. Feces can be stored anywhere in the colon, ranging from ten hours to several days until they are removed through the anus. Has many assumptions and advice but not yet proven, that the longer the dirt is in the colon, the greater the risk of colon cancer.

Colon cancer with a package of growth of cancer cells in the colon, rectum, and appendix (appendix). Most cases of colon cancer is suspected adenomatous polyps growing from the colon. Section shaped like a mushroom is usually grown tame, but over time it can develop into cancer. This process goes on for years making it possible to detect it early, to control it.


Symptom 
Colon cancer symptoms vary widely and are not specific. Can include fatigue, weakness and fatigue, short breathing, changes in bowel habits, frequent bowel movements, diarrhea, constipation, dark red blood in the stool, weight loss, pain around the stomach, cramps, and bloating in the abdomen.
Another indication of irritable bowel (irritable bowel syndrome) which causes the bowel to be rigid, chronic bowel inflammation (ulcerative colitis), Crohn's disease, diverticulosis, and stomach ulcer disease (peptic ulcer disease). They are all symptoms that lead to colon cancer. But often the symptoms above do not necessarily lead to cancer because there are other diseases with similar symptoms like this. So, you should consult with your doctor as soon as possible to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

A person's risk of colon cancer increases after age 50. However, a case that evolved recently reported that each year many younger patients. Individuals with a family history are familiar with colon cancer, polyps, and other diseases such as cancer decreased FAP (Familial adenomatous polyposis - a rare disease causes thousands of polyps in the colon) and HNPCC (Hereditary nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer - cancer caused by gene abnormalities) has a big risk exposed to similar things.

Similarly, individuals who have experienced chronic colitis and Crohn's disease, they are extremely vulnerable and in need of tests or screening to detect cancer early. A person with a family relationship category 'first degree' (parents, siblings, children), in which one or several of these families with colon cancer, have two or three times greater likelihood of developing this disease.
Treatment of colon cancer depends on the level or 'stage' of the cancer. If cancer is found early on (the spread is still small), then it can be cured. But if detected rather late, in the sense that there has been an increase in 'stage', the possibility of healing will be reduced. Especially if it has reached the final stage in which cancer cells have spread widely, surgery becomes the only way with chemotherapy and radiotherapy with respect to the factors that affect medical and individuals.
