Colon cancer is a colloquial term used to describe colorectal cancer, or bowel cancer. Colon cancer is caused due to abnormalities in the normal cells located in the lining of the colon. These malignant cells grow out of control, forming clusters called tumors.
The malign nature of the cells also means that they can potentially grow and spread out to distant parts of the body via infiltrating nearby organs, blood vessels or lymph vessels. Apart from the malignant tumors, there is one more kind of tumor, which can grow out of proportion, but not spread to other organs. Such cancerous tumors are called benign tumors.
Colon is part of the intestines which consists of the small intestine (the section between the stomach and the appendix) and the large intestine (from the appendix to the anus). The large intestine is divided into the long colon and a short rectum, just before the anus.
Two thirds of colorectal cancer, or bowel cancer occur in the colon and one third in the rectum, with very few cases of cancer originating in the small intestine.
Lack of proper nutrition is one of the major factors that can lead to a number of diseases, including cancer. Apart from the lack of a balanced diet, excessive intake of alcohol or drugs may also make a person highly susceptible to abnormalities in cellular functions. Following are some of the major factors that can lead to colon cancer:
In the earlier stages, colon cancer doesn’t show any noticeable signs or symptoms, but, there are a variety of known symptoms that become much more apparent as the disease starts to progress in the body. Some of the noticeable symptoms of colon cancer are:
Regardless of the type of disease, its timely diagnosis is essential for its timely cure. Unfortunately, many people are diagnosed with later stages of cancer just because they don’t follow a proper medical check-up regime. A cancer diagnosis finds out the presence of cancerous tumors in the body, its location, size and its type.
Getting a proper medical referral is the first step in colon cancer treatment, and following are some of the most popular means of diagnosing the presence of cancerous tumors in the body:
In the majority of cases, colorectal cancers initially start on the inner lining of the colon or the rectum. They start as growths, called polyps. Not all polyps grow into cancer, and if they do, the process usually takes many years. Following are some of the most common types of cancerous tumors that are found on the colon and rectum:
Cancer can be caused by a single factor, or by a combination of many. Nonetheless, there are a few things that people can implement in their daily lives to avoid cancer.
Treating colon cancer will largely depend on the progression of the cancer in the body, the size of the cancerous tumor, its type, and its location.
People who are diagnosed with colon cancer during early stages usually opt for surgical removal of the cancerous tumor, as the main and first step of cancer treatment. After the surgery, the doctor may recommend chemotherapy to reduce the chances of cancer’s recurrence.

Recurrent cancer means that the cancer has come back after the success of the initial treatment. Recurrent cancer usually affects the initial place of origin, or is diagnosed at distant organs. A thorough round of diagnostic measure is the first step towards treating recurrent colorectal cancer.
The treatment of recurrent cancer depends on the site where the cancer has recurred. In case of local recurrent cancer, the treatment will more or less remain the same, but in the case of distant recurrences, the treatment will vary accordingly.
