What is Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer happens when healthy cells divide improperly. Colon cancer can begin as non-cancerous polyps and eventually grow to become cancerous. Sigmoid colon cancer occurs in the lower left side of your colon, between the descending colon and rectum.
Metastatic Colon Cancer
Metastatic colon cancer occurs in later stages of the disease when cells penetrate the colon wall and spreads (metastasize) to other organs or to lymph nodes.
About 90 percent of people diagnosed with colon cancer are older than 50, but it can occur in younger people, but it occurs less frequently. If you have already had polyps, you may have a higher risk.
Untreated inflammatory conditions of the colon such as colitis and Crohn's Disease can increase your risk of colon cancer. You are more likely to develop it if you have a family history of it and a higher risk if you have more than one family member with it. Genetics can play a role, but colon cancers within the same family may result from shared exposure to an environmental carcinogen or from diet or lifestyle factors.
If you have ANY uncomfortable symptoms associated with your gastrointestinal system and are concerned about colon cancer, please see your physician. If you do or do not have colon cancer, but have uncomfortable symptoms, you can benefit from an all natural treatment plan designed to treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). This plan can restore health to your gastrointestinal system, end your symptoms, help colon cancer and possibly prevent it if you are concerned.
