What is colorectal cancer?
Colorectal cancer, or colon and rectal cancer, is a form of abnormal
cell growth which strikes the colon and rectum. In the U.S., colorectal
cancer is the third most common form of cancer for men and the fourth
most common for women.
What causes colorectal
cancer?
The etiology of colorectal cancer is not completely understood;
however, we know that the abnormal cells often arise from polyps or
abnormal growths in the lining or mucosa of the colon. Early-stage
colorectal cancer often shows no symptoms, which is why preventive
screening is recommended.
What are the
symptoms of colorectal cancer?
When symptoms do occur, they may give rise to a variety of
complaints, including:
- Blood in the stool
- Rectal bleeding
- Narrow stools
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- A sense that the bowel does not empty completely
- Gas pains
- Change in bowel habits
- A sense of bloating, cramps, or fullness
- Fatigue during activity that was previously tolerated
* If these symptoms persist present, it is important to see your
doctor.
How is colorectal cancer
treated?
Depending on the size of the cancer, its location, pathology and the
depth of penetration, colorectal cancer may be treated by your
proctologist endoscopically, or with some combination of the
following:
- Surgery
- Radiation
- Chemotherapy
- Targeted therapies
Please note: If you have colorectal cancer, it is essential to speak
