Colon Cancer | Introduction

 


Colon cancer occurs in the large intestine or large intestine and is the most common type of cancer that accompanies lung cancer. Certain groups and species, as well as people living in industrialized Western countries, have an increased risk of colon cancer. On the positive side, colon cancer recovery rates and survival rates are very high.

Colon cancer is also known as colon cancer. The large intestine consists of two sections: the upper part of the colon and the lower part of the anus or rectum. Colon cancer spreads to both areas, so it is called colon-rectal cancer. The colon absorbs water and nutrients as food is digested. On the other hand, the rectum helps to expel waste products from the body. There are four areas in the colon, and any cancer can develop in these areas.

The development of colon cancer usually begins as a polyp. A polyp is a small growth of tissue. This polyp grows in the colon and over time can turn into cancer if left untreated. A specific type of polyp called an adenomacan is the leading cause of colon cancer. It takes an average of 5-10 years for a polyp to reach about 5 inches in diameter. Cancer takes another 5-10 years to develop.

Although 20 years is sufficient to diagnose and treat the development of cancer, it is difficult to identify any progress over several years. Unfortunately, there are several diagnostic methods that can successfully detect the development of multiple cancers or polyps. Some common techniques used to diagnose and treat colon cancer are barium enema, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and biopsy. In addition, patients may be diagnosed with any blood in the stool or unexplained iron deficiency and may have any polyps or cancer.

Colon cancer is a widespread disease and a lot of research is being done to increase survival rates and aid in early diagnosis. There are many foundations that can help cancer patients and provide information to the public.

Hepatitis C

  The majority infected with the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) do not have any symptoms. They may appear later, taking about 15 to 150 days to develop. Occasionally an individual will not develop any symptoms and the immune system will successfully clear the virus. Viral clearance rates are highly variable. An infected person without symptoms can still act as a carrier and pass on the virus. DO's Have a liver function test (LFT) to assess the working of the liver.  Have liver biopsy (examination of tissue or liquid to determine the existence or cause of a disease).

Acne | Skin Care | Tips To Follow

  Acne mainly affects people in the age group of 12 to 24 years. Diagnosing the cause of acne is difficult. However, most acne outbreaks have been reported due to excessive secretion of sebaceous glands. Philosophical units are a combination of hair follicles and oil glands in the skin. Philosophical units are found in skin tissue throughout the body, except on the surface of the palms and soles. They are responsible for storing the oily material called the dermis. However, several factors (such as hormonal imbalances, stress and natural skin conditions) can trigger the oil glands to produce more skin than normal. When this happens, the excess oil sticks to the pores of the skin. This process is caused by a bacterial infection and triggers reactions in the immune system. Lastly, acne is caused by inflammation. Acne can affect any skin type. People with oily skin are more prone to acne. On the other hand, dry skin is not affected but can cause severe psoriasis in winters. Normal ski...
