What are the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer?  Colorectal Surgery

 Bariatric Surgery
Unfortunately, some colorectal cancers might be present without any signs or symptoms. For this reason, it is very
important to have regular colorectal screenings (examinations) to detect problems early. The best screening evaluation  Appendix Surgery
is a colonoscopy. Other screening options include fecal occult blood tests, fecal DNA tests, flexible sigmoidoscopy,
barium enema, and CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy). The age at which such screening tests begin depends upon  HPB Surgery
your risk factors, especially a family history of colon and rectal cancers.
 Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
Even if you do not have a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, tell your doctor if you have any of the signs that
could indicate colorectal cancer, no matter what your age. Common signs of colorectal cancer include the following:  Stomach Cancer

Change in bowel habits: Constipation, diarrhea, narrowing of stools, incomplete evacuation, and bowel  Colorectal Cancer
incontinence— although usually symptoms of other, less serious problems — can also be symptoms of colorectal
cancer.  Esophageal Cancer
Blood on or in the stool: By far the most noticeable of all the signs, blood on or in the stool can be associated with  Pancreatic Caner
colorectal cancer. However, it does not necessarily indicate cancer, since numerous other problems can cause
bleeding in the digestive tract, including hemorrhoids, anal tears (fissures), ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease, to  Liver Cancer
name only a few. In addition, iron and some foods, such as beets, can give the stool a black or red appearance,
falsely indicating blood in the stool. However, if you notice blood in or on your stool, see your doctor to rule out a  Gall Bladder Cancer
serious condition and to ensure that proper treatment is received.
Unexplained anemia: Anemia is a shortage of red blood cells— the cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. If
you are anemic, you may experience shortness of breath. You may also feel tired and sluggish, so much so that rest
does not make you feel better.

available. These are the most common screening tests:
Required Treatment
Fecal immunochemical test (FIT): This test looks for blood in the stool that is not easily seen visually. This test can
be done at home by collecting stool in tubes. The collected stool will be tested at a lab for any blood.
Your Message:
Guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (gFOBT): Similar to the FIT test, the guaiac-based fecal occult blood test also
looks for hidden blood in the stool. The specimen (stool) for this test is also collected at home and sent to a lab. In this
test, a chemical reaction is used to screen for any hidden blood. However, the gFOBT is unable to determine where in
the digestive tract the blood is coming from. Additional testing will be needed to determine the exact location of the
blood.
Fecal DNA test: The fecal DNA test works by detecting genetic mutations and blood products in the stool. Genetic I'm not a robot

material, called DNA, is present in every cell of the body, including the cells lining the colon. Normal colon cells and Privacy - Terms

their genetic material are passed with the stool every day. When a colorectal cancer or a large polyp develops,
abnormalities (or mutations) occur in the genetic material of the cells. Some mutations present in the polyp or cancer
can be detected by laboratory analysis of the stool. Submit
Flexible sigmoidoscopy: A flexible sigmoidoscopy uses a device called a sigmoidoscope to see inside the rectum
and lower colon. Unlike the tool used during a colonoscopy, this device is not as long, limiting how much of the colon
can be seen. During this procedure, the sigmoidoscope is inserted into the anus and up through the rectum and
sigmoid colon (s-shaped part). Gas is pumped in during the procedure to allow the caregiver the best possible view.
This is a brief outpatient procedure, often performed without sedation. The bowel must be empty for this procedure
—typically done with the help of a laxative and or enema before the test. Small polyps found during the procedure
can be removed and tested for cancer. If these tests come back positive, a colonoscopy will be done.
Colonoscopy: Colonoscopy is the best procedure to check for colorectal polyps and cancer. Colonoscopy is an
outpatient procedure in which a physician uses a long, flexible scope (called a colonoscope) to view the rectum and
entire colon. During the procedure, polyps can be removed and tested for signs of cancer. The bowel must be
cleaned-out—done with the help of a laxative (“bowel preparation”)—before the procedure begins. The patient is
usually given a sedative for this procedure and will need help getting home afterward as the sedative wears off. A
colonoscopy is considered a safe procedure with few risks.
Double contrast barium enema: This is an X-ray examination of the colon and rectum in which barium is given as
an enema (through the rectum). Air is then blown into the rectum to expand the colon, producing an outline of the
colon on an X-ray. Barium enema is not the most accurate method and should not be the procedure of choice for
colorectal cancer screening. It also requires a bowel preparation.
CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy): In this procedure, also known as CT colonoscopy or virtual colonoscopy, a
CT scan (imaging created with the use of X-rays) of the abdomen and pelvis is performed after drinking a contrast
dye and inflating contrast and air into the rectum. No sedation is needed for this test. Like colonoscopy and barium
enema, the colon must be cleaned out before the examination. In the case that a polyp is found, then a colonoscopy
must be performed.

Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer at Kaizen Gastro :

Colorectal cancer can be diagnosed by a variety of tests. This condition can be diagnosed after you show symptoms or
if your caregiver finds something during a screening test that is not normal.
During the diagnosis process, your doctor
may do the following tests:

 Blood tests (Complete blood count, tumor markers and liver enzymes)
 Imaging tests (X-rays, CT scan, MRI scan, PET scan, ultrasound, angiography)
 Biopsy
 Diagnostic colonoscopy (done after you show symptoms, not as a routine screening test)
 Proctoscopy

Risk for colorectal cancer?

Every one of us is at risk for colorectal cancer. Although the exact cause for the development of precancerous colon
polyps that lead to colorectal cancer is not known, there are some factors that increase a person’s risk of developing
colorectal polyps and cancer. These risk factors include:

Age: The risk of developing colorectal polyps and cancer increases with age. Colorectal cancer is more common in
people over the age of 50, however, younger adults can also develop colorectal cancer.
Other medical conditions: Medical conditions (type 2 diabetes, previous history of cancer, history of inflammatory
bowel disease) and inherited conditions (Lynch syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis) can increase your
chances of developing colorectal cancer.
Lifestyle factors: You may be at increased risk for developing colorectal cancer if you drink alcohol, use tobacco,
don’t get enough exercise, and/or if you are overweight. Smoking increases the risk of precancerous polyps and
colorectal cancer. A diet high in fat and calories and low in fiber, fruits and vegetables has been linked to a greater
risk of developing colorectal cancer. Many lifestyle factors that increase the risk of colorectal cancer can be modified
to lessen that risk
