Colon Cancer: Types, Causes, Risk factors, Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention

Colon Cancer, also called colorectal cancer (CRC), is a type of cancer that originates from the rectum or colon. It usually starts when abnormal cells grow out of control and invade the wall of the rectum and neighbouring tissue. The colon is part of the body's digestive system and the first and longest part of the large intestine. 

Colon cancer primarily affects the large intestine, which is where waste materials from digestion accumulate. The colon is responsible for absorbing vitamins and nutrients from digested food and converting the remaining waste products into stool (poop). The rectum stores stool and is the lower part of the large intestine.

Colon cancer prevalence

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), colon cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, representing about 10% of all cancer cases. Globally, it is the 3rd most common cancer, with over 0.19 crore new cases and more than 930,000 deaths estimated in 2020.

Colon cancer incidence varies by region and age group. The incidence of colon cancer (CRC) in India is lower as compared to developed countries. However, the incidence has been increasing in recent years. 

Currently, colon cancer is the 7th most common cancer in India, and the number of cases is rising, with a 20% increase from 2004 to 2014, with 65,358 new cases in 2021. It primarily affects older individuals, predominantly those aged 50 and above.

Types of colon cancer

Colorectal cancer can be classified into several types depending on the location, cell type and growth patterns. The different types of colon cancer include:

Adenocarcinoma

It is the most common type of colon cancer, accounting for about 95% of all cases. It originates from the glandular cells that line the inside of the colon and rectum. Typically, it starts as a tissue growth called a polyp. Specifically, adenomas may develop into cancer.

Adenocarcinomas are classified into two less common subtypes:

Mucinous adenocarcinoma: This tumor consists of approximately 60 percent mucus. The presence of mucus may lead to quicker and more aggressive cancer cell spread compared to typical adenocarcinomas. Mucinous adenocarcinomas represent about 10 to 15 percent of all rectal and colon adenocarcinomas.

Signet ring cell adenocarcinoma: Signet ring cell adenocarcinoma represents less than 1 percent of all colon cancers. Its name derives from its distinctive appearance under a microscope and is often aggressive, making treatment more challenging.

Carcinoid Tumours

These are rare, slow-growing tumors that begin in the hormone-producing cells of the colon. They are typically less aggressive than adenocarcinomas.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GISTs)

These are the rare types of colon cancer tumors that develop in the connective tissue of the digestive tract, including the colon. They are typically treated differently from other forms of colon cancer.

Lymphoma

Though rare, lymphoma can also affect the colon and rectum, primarily arising from lymphatic tissue.

My closest friend Mike found out that he has bone cancer yesterday. It started with him having issues with his vision. Turns out he's has a tumor growing on his eyes. They had him do a CAT scan and found out he had a grown on his lungs, which ended up being a carcinoid tumor. After his biopsy, they had him do a PET scan as well. He got the results yesterday via online portal, but no phone call explaining what he was seeing.

I called a couple of his doctors offices with him during so he didn't have to do it alone, but there were no answers given. We went about our typical Friday evenings. He and his wife live in San Antonio. They love going to the Riverwalk for dinner and usually follow it up with a drink at the Pearl.

He isn't much of a night owl, but he's been losing a lot of sleep. He texted me and another friend of ours, Brandon, that he needed to talk to one of us. I missed the text, so our other friend got a hold of him first. Luckily, I was playing video games with Brandon and he let me know how bad it was. His gut reaction was "don't call him". I appreciate that now.

Mike was in severe shock. He had put his PET scan results with his other conditions and it diagnosed him with stage 4 cancer.

He's wrestled with his own mortality since we were preteens. He said "I knew it! I've been preparing for this my entire life!" Mike has always had outbursts, but there is no consoling this. No "look on the bright side". No "it will be okay". I just sat there crying on the phone with him and his wife. The only advice I could offer was for them to get a second reading from a radiologist.

COLORECTAL CANCER

(Also see Cancer, Tumor.)

The colon and rectum are part of the large intestine (large bowel). Colon and rectal cancers, sometimes referred to as “Colorectal Cancer,” develop from the lining of the large intestine. When cancer starts on the surface lining of an organ like the large intestine, it is called a carcinoma.

Other types of colon cancer include lymphoma, carcinoid tumors, melanoma, and sarcomas. Even though Colorectal Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths, this disease is entirely treatable if caught early by regular examinations. There is no single cause for colon cancer. However, many colon cancers begin as benign polyps and then eventually develop into cancer.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.)

1. Curse the root of the cancer cells and cast out the spirit of

cancer.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

3. Lead them in a prayer for repentance for bitterness or

unforgiveness, if necessary.

4. Command electrical and magnetic frequencies to come into

harmony and balance.

5. Curse any prions and command them to dissolve and be

discarded by the body.

6. Command the body’s defensive “killer” cells to multiply, attack, and destroy all cancer cells.

7. Command all damaged tissues to be healed and to function

normally.��Joan Hunter

#November is #CarcinoidCancer Awareness Month: Understanding Carcinoid Cancer and Its Symptoms

Carcinoid cancer is a rare type of #neuroendocrine #tumor (NET) that develops in the cells of the neuroendocrine system. These tumors most commonly occur in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the stomach, small intestine, and rectum, but can also develop in the lungs or other parts of the body. #Earlydetection is key to effective treatment and improved outcomes.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Carcinoid Cancer?

The symptoms vary depending on the location of the tumor but may include:

Abdominal Pain or Cramping: Persistent discomfort in the stomach area.

Flushing of the Skin: Sudden redness or warmth, particularly in the face and neck.

Diarrhea: Frequent loose stools, often unexplained.

Wheezing or Shortness of Breath: Particularly for carcinoid tumors in the lungs.

Heart Palpitations: Irregular or rapid heartbeat.

Unexplained Weight Loss: Significant weight loss without any clear reason.

Fatigue: A constant feeling of tiredness or weakness.

Carcinoid tumors can also cause carcinoid syndrome, a set of symptoms triggered by hormone secretion from the tumors, including flushing, diarrhea, and heart issues.

If you or a loved one experiences these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional immediately for diagnosis and care.

Let’s use this month to spread #awareness about #carcinoidcancer, its signs, and the importance of early detection to improve lives.
