Colon Cancer

Intestinal cancer is a malignant tumor of the intestine or digestive tract that often occurs in the colon, large intestine, then followed by the small intestine or stomach (gastric). According to the world health agency (WHO), the incidence of colon cancer is quite high.

Clinical symptoms that can arise from small intestine cancer in the form of digestive disorders in general, such as constipation, constipation, bloody stools, mucus, even diarrhea, and irregular bowel movements. Then flatulence, sometimes accompanied by vomiting, is difficult to swallow if the cancer is at the top, such as the border between the esophagus and the stomach. Patients also usually experience rapid weight loss.

The pattern of human life has an important role as a risk factor for colon cancer. If humans have unhealthy lifestyles, such as laziness to exercise, often eat fast food, often eat foods that contain high cholesterol, and the body lacks fiber intake, then the human potential has intestinal cancer. In addition to lifestyle factors, colon cancer is also often caused by genetic or hereditary factors. In addition, colon cancer can also be caused by chronic infections that last a long time, and an unclean environment.

Bowel cancer can be prevented by implementing a healthy lifestyle. In addition, if the body experiences symptoms that lead to colon cancer, we recommend that you do control to the hospital to do blood checks, x-rays, endoscopy, or rectoscopy, to determine whether we have cancer or not. The earlier we find tumors in the digestive tract, the treatment is even easier, so that the life expectancy of patients with early-stage colon cancer is higher.
