Symptoms of colon cancer usually from a disorder of the chapter JavaPos.com

JavaPos.com – Colon cancer or colorectal cancer is a common type of cancer in almost all ages, especially among the elderly. But over the last decade, there was a 30-35 percent increase in colon cancer patients at a young age, under 50 years old.

Colon cancer begins with cell growth in the lining of the innermost intestine called polyp adenoma. In the early stages, adenoma polyps can be removed easily, but often show no symptoms in the victim so that the more the growth of cancer cells turns into a malignant disease in the 5-10 year period.

Symptoms of colon cancer generally begin with a defecation disorder (BAB), in the form of chronic diarrhea or difficult bowel movements. Other symptoms may include blood chapter, stomach pain, bloating, weight loss, even a ball in the stomach.

"In the early stages, symptoms not very visible.This makes many colon cancer patients come to the hospital when the disease is chronic and that the treatment effort becomes difficult. Although the key to the success of colon cancer treatment is the discovery of cancer in the early stages, so that therapy and action can be performed curatively, "said Kebon Jeruk Wifanto Sadityo Jeo.

According to Wifanto, early detection of colon cancer can be done with multiple exams. With a scanner on the abdomen to help evaluate the outside of the intestine and the abdominal organs badociated with the mbad.

In addition to stool examination and colonoscopy is the act of inserting the camera into the intestine to badess the innermost layer of the large bowel and then performed a biopsy action if necessary. The procedure of action, may be through a colectomy laparotomy procedure which is an approach to lift a particular large bowel, where the surgeon has to make long slices in the abdomen to access the colon.

In addition, the other preferred course of action is the minimally invasive laposcopic approach. Doctors only need to make a small incision to insert special surgical instruments through modern surgery known as the Minimal Invasive Surgery Center (MISC).

One of the instruments in question is a cannula or port that is a small tube that can fit in the incision, its size is only 1-1.5 cm. Then connected with a pumping device containing gaseous carbon dioxide. Through the cannula, the abdominal cavity has been developed to create space to eliminate the tumor or cancer through minimal incision.

After that, the surgeon inserted a laparoscopic camera, a thin tube with a small video camera mounted at one end, while the surgeon was controlling it with the help of the monitor as a guide.

The most significant benefit of the MISC laparoscopic procedure is the small incisions made less pain felt, the need for pain medication after surgery is not in high doses thus reducing the side effects common. "The adhesion or attachment in the stomach will be minimal because less intestinal manipulation compared to ordinary surgery.The duration of hospitalization is also shortened because postoperative recovery is faster, "
says Wifanto.
