Symptoms of Colon Cancer:
• Continuous changes in bowel movements
• Presence of blood in stool
• Pain or discomfort in the abdomen
• Unexpected loss of weight
• Feeling tired or weak
• Anemia caused by a lack of iron
• Thin stools
• Constipation or diarrhoea that persists for several days
• Sensation of incomplete bowel evacuation
• Bleeding from the rectum or dark stools
Staging for colon cancer are as follows:
Surgery: This is often the primary treatment, aiming to remove the tumor and nearby lymph nodes. The scope of surgery varies with the cancer’s stage and location.
Chemotherapy: This involves using drugs to kill or halt the growth of cancer cells. It can be administered before or after surgery to get rid of any leftover cancer cells or to lower the chance of the cancer returning.
Radiation Therapy: This method uses intense radiation to kill cancer cells. It might be used before or after surgery, or as an alternative when surgery isn’t an option. Modern techniques help reduce side effects. It is used for rectal cancer.
Targeted Therapy: These treatments target specific aspects of cancer cells that help them grow. Drugs such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, often used with chemotherapy, offer benefits, particularly in more advanced colon cancer stages.
Immunotherapy: This treatment enhances the immune system’s ability to combat cancer. Drugs like pembrolizumab and nivolumab are effective for advanced colon cancers that have certain genetic markers.
