We asked <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/merckpatientoncology.co.za\/colorectal-cancer\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Merck<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> a couple of key questions to better understand colorectal cancer:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Why is it called colorectal cancer?\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The colon and rectum are connected and make up the large intestine, which is all part of the digestive system, therefore it\u2019s called colorectal cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>What are the risk factors for colorectal cancer?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Lifestyle: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Smoking and drinking alcohol can both increase the risk of bowel cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Age: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Colorectal cancer is generally seen in people over the age of 50. The risk of having the disease increases with age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bowel disease: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you already have bowel problems and suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), you have a higher risk of developing bowel cancer than the general population.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Genetics: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are some rare-inherited conditions or syndromes associated with certain gene changes. Family members have an increased risk of bowel cancer if they inherit these gene changes and if they are a blood relative of someone with the disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Being overweight: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maintaining a healthy bodyweight, being active and eating a diet rich in vegetables, fruits and whole grains are all factors that will reduce your risk of colorectal cancer. Also try to stay away from eating too much red meat and processed meats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>How does colorectal cancer start?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most colorectal cancers start as a growth, called a polyp, on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. Certain types of polyps may change into cancer over time, but this usually occurs after many years. Cancer is when abnormal cells start to divide and grow in an uncontrolled way. The cells can grow into surrounding tissues or organs and may spread to other areas of the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>What are the symptoms?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">People with colorectal cancer may not experience symptoms in the early stages. When symptoms appear, they usually vary, depending on the cancer\u2019s size and location in the large intestine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Common symptoms may include<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A change in bowel habit, such as diarrhoea, constipation, or smaller, more frequent bowel movements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A change in appearance of bowel movements i.e., narrower stools or mucus in stools.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A feeling of fullness or bloating in the abdomen or a strange sensation in the rectum, often during bowel movement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A feeling that the bowel hasn\u2019t emptied completely.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Blood in the stools or on the toilet paper.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unexplained weight loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weakness or fatigue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rectal or anal pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A lump in the rectum or anus.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Abdominal pain or swelling.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A low red blood cell count (anaemia), which can cause tiredness and weakness.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Can colorectal cancer be treated successfully?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Going for regular screening is the best way to have peace of mind. If you experience any signs or symptoms of colorectal cancer, you should consult your doctor. A colonoscopy is a procedure where a fibre-optic camera is inserted through the anus in order to examine the colon.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If colorectal cancer is suspected, a biopsy of abnormal tissue will be obtained during a colonoscopy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Treatment will depend on how far the cancer has advanced and may include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, or a combination of these.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Early detection is key. If the cancer is diagnosed at a localised stage, the survival rate is 91%.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> If the cancer has spread to surrounding tissues or organs and\/or the regional lymph nodes, the five-year survival rate is 72%.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> When colorectal cancer has already spread to distant sites by the time it is diagnosed, it is referred to as metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer, and the five-year survival rate is 14%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>References:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA).
