Colorectal cancer causes

There is no single cause of colorectal cancer. Nearly all colorectal cancer begin as noncancerous polyps, which slowly develop into cancer.

Risk factors for colorectal cancer

Risk factors that increases a person’s chances of getting colorectal cancer include above 50 years, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, smoking, heavy alcohol use, prior personal history of colorectal cancer, history of polyps (excluding non-precancerous polyps called hyperplastic polyps), history of non inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or crohn’s disease), a personal history of ovarian, endometrial, or breast cancer, a first degree relative (parent, sibling, or child) who has had colorectal cancer, or a familial syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis.

Colorectal cancer symptoms

Symptoms may be apparent in the disease’s earliest stages. As the cancer develops, however, one may note a wide variety of symptoms such as diarrhea or constipation. A feeling of fullness in the bowel after elimination, and blood (vivid red or dark) in stool, which may be narrower than normal.

Unexplained weight loss, fatigue, gas, bloating, cramps, and nausea are also common symptoms. It is important to note that other problems besides colorectal cancer may cause these symptoms, but a doctor should be consulted to rule out this disease.

Colorectal cancer Pathophysiology

If colorectal cancer left untreated, early stage colorectal cancer grows through the outer walls of the large intestine, invades the lymph system, and metastasize in the liver and lungs.

Diagnosis of colorectal cancer

Diagnosis of colorectal cancer mainly include digital rectal examination, fecal occult blood test, sigmoidoscopy, double-contrast barium enema, and colonoscopy.

Colorectal cancer treatment

Treatment of colorectal cancer mainly include surgery, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
