Colon Cancer Treatment

Cancer treatment often requires a team of specialists and may include a surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, nurse, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, nutritionist.
Clinical presentation, treatment, and prognosis
As with many other types of cancer, malignancies can be classified as localized, regionally widespread, or distant.
Localized: the cancer has not spread beyond the wall of the organ in which it developed. Regional distribution: The cancer has spread from the organ it started in to other tissues such as muscles, fat, ligaments or lymph nodes.
• Remote distribution: Cancer has spread to tissues or organs outside of where it originated, such as the liver, bones, or lungs.
Cancer treatment options most often include surgery and possibly radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and/or biological therapy. Cancer can be treated and sometimes cured depending on the histology. Removal of cancer through surgery is the most common treatment. If the tumor is large, a small part can be removed if resection is possible. For large tumors, surgery requires the removal of more of the surrounding normal intestinal tissue, in addition to some surrounding blood vessels and lymph nodes. Radiation therapy kills cancer cells and reduces the size of tumors through the use of high-energy X-rays. Radiation therapy can come from an external source using a machine or an internal source. Internal therapy involves using radioisotopes to inject radiation through thin plastic tubes into the area of the body where cancer cells are found. Side effects of radiation therapy include:
• fatigue
• loss of appetite
• nausea and vomiting
• diarrhea
• gas
• bloating.
Chemotherapy kills cancer cells with drugs taken orally or by injection into a vein or muscle. It is called systemic treatment because it passes through the bloodstream and kills cancer cells outside the small intestine. Adjuvant chemotherapy may be prescribed after surgery to ensure that all cancer cells are killed. Some side effects of chemotherapy:
• nausea and vomiting
• loss of appetite (anorexia)
• temporary hair loss (alopecia)
• mouth ulcers
• fatigue, as a result of low red blood cell count
• Higher chance of infection or bleeding due to low white blood cell count and low blood platelet count, respectively.
Radiation and chemotherapy are rarely helpful in cancers. Using the body's immune system, biological therapy stimulates the body to fight cancer.
