Common risk factors for colon cancer include age, family history, personal history of colorectal polyps or cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, unhealthy lifestyle factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption.
Colon cancer is diagnosed through various methods, including colonoscopy, imaging tests such as CT scan or MRI, blood tests, and biopsy of suspicious tissue for pathological examination.
Treatment options for colon cancer depend on the stage and extent of the disease but may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy.
Surgery is a primary treatment for colon cancer and involves removing the tumor and nearby lymph nodes. However, depending on the stage and characteristics of the cancer, other treatment modalities such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be used before or after surgery.
Guidelines recommend that individuals at average risk should start regular colon cancer screening at age 45 or earlier if they have risk factors. The frequency of screening depends on the screening method used and the individual’s risk profile.
