Symptoms of Colon Cancer

In the early stages, colon cancer usually doesn't have symptoms. As the disease progresses, which can take years, symptoms include :

• Blood in stools
• Persistent constipation, diarrhea, or other bowel changes
• Thinner stools
• Unexplained weight loss
• Abdominal pain and discomfort- generally feeling full, bloated, or cramping
• Abdominal tenderness or pain
• Fatigue

These colon cancer symptoms are not unique and can also be symptoms of many other conditions. It is still advisable to seek medical advice to ensure you are alright.

Colon Cancer 5-Year Survival Rate

People who have IBD are at an increased risk for colon cancer.

When reading research regarding cancer treatments, you'll notice that "5-year survival rate" is often mentioned. The 5-year survival rate is a percentage of patients who are alive 5 years after they were diagnosed with cancer (not counting those who die of causes unrelated to the cancer).

The National Cancer Institute's Physician Data Query system shows these 5-year survival rates for colon cancer by stage as follows :

• Stage 0 - > 92%
• Stage I - 80 to 95%
• Stage II - 55 to 80%
• Stage III - 33 to 55%
• Stage IV - < 15%

Colon Cleansing In Brief

There are so many reasons that colon cleansing is vitally important in our lives, it is the last place that the food is in the digestive system and it is an organ that is often ignored.

The colon is responsible for the absorption of the nutrients and vitamins from our food and of producing the waste matter and getting rid of the toxins from the body. In today’s world there are more impurities and toxins in the air, soil and food that we eat that there used to be and so it is more important for us to take care of our digestive systems and make sure that they are clear, clean and working at their optimal levels.

Detoxification is the process of getting rid of toxins from your body. This is pretty crucial when it comes to maintaining health. If you have digestive problems, skin problems or generally feel without energy and motivation, you probably need to look into methods of detoxification. The process is really about cleaning blood and getting rid of toxins that are mainly processed in the liver. The lungs, lymph, skin and intestine are other channels that these harmful substances are eliminated through.
