Colon Cancer: Screening, Treatment, and Lifestyle Changes

Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, affects the colon or rectum and is the third most common cancer worldwide. Early detection through regular screening is crucial for effective treatment and improved survival rates. Colon cancer often begins as benign polyps that can become cancerous over time.

Screening methods include colonoscopy, fecal occult blood tests (FOBT), and stool DNA tests. These tests help detect polyps or early-stage cancer before symptoms develop. People at average risk should start regular screening at age 45, while those with higher risk factors, such as a family history of colon cancer, might need to start earlier.

Symptoms of colon cancer can include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. If any of these symptoms are present, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Treatment options depend on the cancer stage and may include surgery to remove polyps or cancerous sections of the colon, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. Making lifestyle changes can also reduce the risk of colon cancer. These changes include maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, regular physical activity, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, and not smoking.

Ongoing research and advancements in treatment options continue to improve outcomes for those diagnosed with colon cancer, emphasizing the importance of early detection and a proactive approach to health and wellness.
