Posted in: Colon Cancer Treatment by Dr. Tarang Krishna Posted Date: 12 Oct, 2018

Colon cancer is the cancer in the large intestine, the final part of the digestive tract. Many cases of colon cancer begin as small, non-cancerous clumps of cells. Over time, these can become cancerous

Polyps are small and produce few, if any, symptoms. For this reason, doctors recommend continuous screening tests to prevent colon cancer by identifying and removing polyps before they turn into cancer.

  2. Signs usually do not appear till the later stage but gastrointestinal problems are common signs.
  3. The cancer treatment involves radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery and immunology cancer treatment
  4. A healthy lifestyle with high-fiber and low fat diet can prevent colon cancer and screening can detect it in the early stages.
