Cáncer de colon
El cáncer de colon se produce en el intestino grueso o el intestino grueso y es un tipo muy común de cáncer, sólo superada por el cáncer de pulmón en la ocurrencia. El riesgo de cáncer de colon es mayor en ciertos grupos y etnias, así como en las personas que viven en los países industrializados occidentales. El lado positivo es que el cáncer de colon también tiene una muy alta velocidad de curado y la supervivencia. El cáncer de colon también se conoce como el cáncer colo-rectal. El intestino grueso tiene dos secciones: la parte superior es el colon y la parte inferior es el ano o el recto. El cáncer en el intestino grueso puede extenderse sobre ambas regiones, lo que le da el nombre de cáncer colo-rectal. El colon absorbe agua y nutrientes durante la digestión de los alimentos. El recto, por otro lado, sirve para expulsar el material de desecho del cuerpo. Hay cuatro partes en el colon y el cáncer pueden comenzar a desarrollar en cualquiera de estas partes. El crecimiento canceroso en el colon generalmente empieza como un pólipo. Un pólipo es un crecimiento pequeño de tejido. Este pólipo crece en el colon y si no se trata puede convertirse en cáncer en un período de tiempo. Un tipo específico de pólipo, llamado adenomacan, es la semilla principal de cáncer de colon. En promedio, tarda 5-10 años para que un pólipo de llegar a un diámetro de alrededor de 0,5 pulgadas. Esto toma otros 5-10 años para convertirse en un cáncer. Aunque 20 años parece suficiente para detectar y tratar el desarrollo canceroso, es difícil discernir ningún crecimiento desde hace varios años. Afortunadamente, hay muchas técnicas de diagnóstico disponibles para detectar con éxito cualquier crecimiento o pólipos cancerosos. Algunas técnicas comunes que se utilizan en el cáncer de colon el diagnóstico y tratamiento son los enemas de bario, sigmoidoscopia, colonoscopia y biopsia. Aparte de esto, los pacientes pueden ser evaluados para discernir algo de sangre en las heces o la deficiencia de hierro sin explicación para saber si hay algún pólipo o desarrollar cáncer. El cáncer de colon es una enfermedad muy extendida, y una gran cantidad de investigación está en marcha para aumentar las tasas de supervivencia y ayudar al diagnóstico precoz. También hay muchas fundaciones que los pacientes con cáncer de colon ayuda y proporcionar información a la gente.

Colon Cancer
Colon cancer occurs in the large intestine or the large bowel and is a very common kind of cancer, second only to lung cancer in occurrence. The risk of colon cancer is higher in certain groups and ethnicities, as well as in people living in Western industrialized countries. The positive side is that colon cancer also has a very high rate of cure and survival.
Colon cancer is also known as colo-rectal cancer. The large intestine has two sections: the upper portion is the colon and the lower portion is the anus or the rectum. Cancer in the large intestine can spread over both regions, which gives it the name colo-rectal cancer. The colon absorbs water and nutrients during food digestion. The rectum, on the other hand, serves to expel waste material from the body. There are four parts to the colon, and cancer can start developing in any of these parts.
The cancerous growth in the colon usually starts as a polyp. A polyp is a small tissue growth. This polyp will grow into the colon and if left untreated it can develop into cancer over a period of time. A specific type of polyp, called adenomacan, is the primary seed of colon cancer. On an average, it takes 5-10 years for a polyp to reach a diameter of about .5 inch. This takes a further 5-10 years to develop into cancer.
Though 20 years seems enough to detect and treat cancerous development, it is difficult to discern any growth for several years. Thankfully, there are many diagnostic techniques available to successfully detect any cancerous growth or polyps. Some common techniques used in diagnosing and treating colon cancer are barium enemas, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and biopsy. Apart from this, patients can be screened to discern any blood in the stool or unexplained iron deficiency to find out if there is any polyp or cancer developing.
Colon cancer is a widespread disease, and a lot of research is underway to increase survival rates and aid early diagnosis. There are also many foundations that aid colon cancer patients and provide information to people
