Cancer of the colon or the large
intestine or rectum is the most common digestive system form of cancer. It
normally affects older people, and there maybe a genetic factor in some
families. Colorectal tumors may grow quite large without blocking the bowel. So
many times they are not detected until they have spread. The symptoms of
colorectal cancer include: changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, acidic
stomach, muscular tension and abdominal twitching, and blood in the stool.
Sometimes rectal bleeding may not be noticed, however may be tested for by a
home test kit available in drugstores. Note blood in the stool can be caused by
several intestinal conditions, so a doctor should always be consulted in cases
of rectal bleeding. Polyps which are small, stalk-like growths in the colon may
also cause bleeding. Polyps should be treated quickly, even if benign, because
they may change to cancerous as they enlarge. Colorectal cancers often start as
polyps.

| Colon or colorectal cancer is commonly known as bowel cancer, is
a cancer from uncontrolled cell growth in the colon, rectum, or appendix.
Symptom typically include rectal bleeding and anemia which are sometimes
associated with weight loss and changes in bowel habits.
Most colon cancer occurs due to lifestyle and increasing age with only a
minority of cases associated with underlying genetic disorders. It typically
starts in the lining of the bowel and if left untreated, can grow into the
muscle layers underneath, and then through the bowel wall. Screening is
effective at decreasing the chance of dying from colorectal cancer and is
recommended starting at the age of 50 and continuing until a person is 75 years
old. Localized colon cancer is usually diagnosed through sigmoidoscopy or
colonoscopy.
Cancers that are confined within the wall of the colon are often curable with
surgery while cancer that has spread widely around the body is usually not
curable and management then focuses on extending the person life via
chemotherapy and improving quality of life. Colorectal cancer is the third most
commonly diagnosed cancer in the world, but it is more common in developed
countries. Around 60% of cases were diagnosed in the developed world. It is
estimated that, in 2008, 1.24 million new cases of colorectal cancer were
clinically diagnosed, and that it killed 610,000 people.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBS) - people with inflammatory bowel disease
also called ulcerative colitis
or Crohn's disease are at
increased risk of colon cancer. The risk increases the longer a person has had
the disease, and the worse the severity of inflammation. In these high risk
groups both prevention with aspirin and regular colonoscopies are recommended.
People with inflammatory bowel disease account for less than 2% of colon cancer
cases yearly. In those with Crohn's disease 2% get colorectal cancer after 10
years, 8% after 20 years, and 18% after 30 years. In those with ulcerative
colitis approximately 20% develop tumors within the first 10 years

You would not think of exposing yourself to an Atomic Bomb fallout or
excessive X-rays. But not getting enough vitamins and minerals is just as
dangerous. Cells in your body not getting their vitamins and minerals suffer
both DNA and mitochondrial damage. These cells under a microscope look like they
have been hit with radiation. This type of damage may cause you to age faster
and can lead to Cancer
and other degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and others.
