Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is a type of cancer that begins in the cells lining the colon or rectum. It often develops slowly over several years, starting as noncancerous polyps that can eventually turn into cancer.

Key Points about Colon Cancer:

Risk Factors: Risk factors for colon cancer include age, family history of colorectal cancer, personal history of colorectal polyps, inflammatory bowel diseases (such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis), a diet high in red or processed meats, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and smoking.
Symptoms: Early stages of colon cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. However, as the cancer progresses, symptoms may include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal discomfort, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue.
Screening and Diagnosis: Regular screenings, such as colonoscopies, are crucial for early detection. Diagnosis is confirmed through a combination of medical history, physical examination, and various imaging and laboratory tests.
Treatment Options: Treatment for colon cancer depends on the stage of the cancer and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The goal is to remove or destroy cancerous cells and prevent the spread of the disease.
Multidisciplinary Care: At Jeevan Shree Hospital, we offer comprehensive care for colon cancer patients. Our multidisciplinary team, including oncologists, surgeons, and support staff, collaborates to develop personalized treatment plans focused on the individual needs of each patient.
Supportive Care: We understand the physical and emotional challenges of a cancer diagnosis. Our hospital provides supportive care services, including counseling, nutritional support, and survivorship programs, to enhance the overall well-being of our patients.
Preventive Measures: Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption, can contribute to reducing the risk of colon cancer.
