Colon Cancer Treatment

Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, begins in the colon or rectum, which are key parts of the lower digestive system. This cancer often results from aging and poor lifestyle habits, although only a few cases are linked to genetic disorders. Risk factors for colon cancer include an unhealthy diet, being overweight, smoking, and lack of exercise. Consuming red meat, processed foods, and alcohol can increase your chances of developing this cancer.

Benefits of Treatment

Colon cancer surgery is most effective when the cancer is detected in its early stages, before it has spread to surrounding organs. Surgery is a reliable and straightforward option for removing the cancer and preventing it from worsening.

Who Needs Treatment?

The stage of cancer plays a crucial role in determining the appropriate treatment. For most people whose cancer has not spread to other areas of the body, surgery is often the first and most effective treatment. In these cases, only the affected area needs to be treated.

How is Colon Cancer Diagnosed?

One of the most common and simplest methods to diagnose colon cancer is through a colonoscopy . During this procedure, a doctor uses a long, flexible tube called a colonoscope to examine the rectum and colon for any signs of cancer.

How is Surgery Performed?

  • Anesthesia:You will be given general anesthesia to ensure you're asleep during the procedure.
  • Incisions:The surgeon will make one or more incisions in the abdominal area.
  • Tumor Removal:The affected tissue in the colon will be carefully removed.
  • Reconnection:The healthy ends of the bowel are then joined using staples or sutures
  • Stoma Creation (if necessary):If needed, a stoma is created in your abdomen, and the bowel is moved to this opening.
  • Closing Incisions:The incisions will be carefully closed.

Success Rate

The success rate for colon cancer surgery is approximately 86.1%, particularly if the cancer is detected early.

Recovery and Post-Op Care

After surgery, recovery typically takes between 3 and 6 weeks. It’s important to gradually increase physical activity, starting with walking. Walking helps improve strength, circulation, and lung function. If you were in good physical condition before surgery, you can resume your regular workout routine once your doctor gives you the go-ahead.

Risks and Complications of Surgery

As with any major surgery, there are risks associated with colon cancer surgery, including:

  • Infection
  • Excessive bleeding (hemorrhage)
  • Blood clots
  • Damage to vital tissues
  • Leaks from the surgical sites where the bowel is joined
You will be carefully monitored after surgery for any signs of complications.
