Colorectal cancer is a cancer of Colon or Rectum and sometime also referred as Bowel cancer. Majority of colorectal cancer are adenocarcinoma i.e. cancer of mucosa cell. Colorectal cancers are locally invasive in nature but metastasis is usually evident before local invasive symptoms. Clinically, colorectal cancer can be characterized into early stages i.e. stage I to III or more advance and deadly IV metastatic stage. Metastatic is the stage of colorectal cancer in which cancer spread from its origin
diagnosed cancer is colon cancer (also known as colorectal cancer). In the United States, it’s second leading cause of death related to cancer. Is there a difference between colon cancer and colorectal cancer? Having proper education and understanding of the disease is important to the patient.” Colon cancer is malignancy that begins in the colon or large intestine. The tube-like organ near the end of the digestive system.” (http://coloncancercoalition.org/get-educated) Colorectal cancer is part of
This condition is known as the familial adenomatous polyposis which one of the main precursors to the development of colorectal cancer (P, 2013). This condition is inherited and is as a result of a genetic mutation in the gene that codes for the APC protein (a tumour suppressor gene). It starts out as a benign tumour but has the tendency to progress onto a malignant form as
Guaiac-based Fecal Occult Blood Test Sensitivity and Specificity Colon cancer The large intestines are a part of the digestive system (Colorectal cancer, 2015). The large intestines (large bowels) are made up of the colon and the rectum (What is colorectal cancer, 2016). The colon is five feet long muscular tube that makes up the majority of the large bowel (What is colorectal cancer, 2016). After food goes through the small intestines, of the digestive system, the colon absorbs the salt and water
With the ceaseless quest in health research for improved outcomes in the management of cancer patients, novel approaches to screening, diagnosis, and treatment are highly sought after. In particular, effective and relatively low cost screening tests may play an invaluable role in reducing patient mortality resulting from diagnosis early in the disease process which is crucial for proactive measures and successful therapy. However, it is critical to remain mindful of the risk of harm related to false
African American with stage IV colon cancer Jasper folks Kaplan University HS305: Research Methods for Health Sciences Prof: B. Marie Brady-Whitcanac 12/2/2014 African American with stage IV colon cancer African Americans carry an uneven share of the cancer load in the United States, having the highest death rate and shortest survival of any racial or ethnic group for most cancers. In this article, I will
Colorectal cancer mainly starts at colon or the rectum. They are common in most of the way like features, but they have different treatment. What is the different between colon cancer and rectal cancer? Colon cancer happens first four to five feet of the large intestine and rectal cancer happens in the last few inches of the large intestine where it is connected to anus. (cancercenter.com) Colon is located in the digestive system. There are two parts of the digestive system. Upper part of the digestive
was found for each age group (Ministry of Health, 2015). Maori were slightly more likely to have a positive iFOBT result than Europeans (Ministry of Health, 2015). Moreover, females were about twice unlikely to have and adenoma, advanced adenoma, or cancer detected than males (Ministry of Health, 2015). Maori aged 60-69 years were 1.5 times more likely to have an adenoma detected than Europeans of the same age (Ministry of Health, 2015). Maori were almost 1.5 times more likely to have an advanced adenoma
Mr. Watt’s risk factors related to colon cancer? Consider all aspects of his health, his family history and his culture. There are several race traits and risk factors from African-American such as Heart Disease, Cancer, Stroke, Diabetes, and Pneumonia/Influenza. Also they have those risk factors due to cultural difference diet and exercise such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke, end stage renal disease, dementia, diabetes, and certain cancers. Especially, diabetes has more frequency
Lnc RNA in human diseases Human lncRNA is versatile and has many cellular functions like alternate splicing, nuclear import, epigenetics, RNA turnover, translation and regulation (Tani, 2017).thus in medical research, lncRNA is achieving importance as their dysregulation is directly associated with diseases like cancer. They act as a precursor of siRNA and has both tumor suppression and oncogenic property. Few of the roles of lncRNA in disease are described below. (Lo, Wolfson, & Zhou, 2016) MIR4435-HG
