[대장암 예방법] Endoscopy regularly … If you have a family history,

With the westernization of dietary habits, patients with colon cancer are steadily increasing. According to national cancer statistics, the number of new cases of colorectal cancer in 2015 is 26,790, followed by thyroid cancer and stomach.

The colon is divided into rectum (about 15 cm) connected to the colon and anus. Generally, colon cancer begins to occur in the mucosal layer, which is the innermost wall, and gradually grows up to the submucosal layer, the muscular layer, and the serous layer. The condition in which the tumor has spread to the mucosal layer or to the submucosa is called early colorectal cancer. The incidence of early colorectal cancer is increasing due to the increase in the top five cancer screening projects and colonoscopic screening.

The most obvious prevention of colorectal cancer is periodic endoscopy. The adenomatous polyp, which is the seed of cancer, usually takes about 10 years to become cancer. It is not uncommon for people in their twenties and thirties to adopt Western eating habits, but 90% of them are in their 50s and 67% in their 60s.

Therefore, it is necessary to detect and remove colonoscopy once every 3 to 5 years. If you have multiple polyps during your screening, or if you have a family history of colorectal cancer, you should have regular checkups around the age of 40.

It is particularly important to receive colonoscopies regularly, especially if you have a family history of cancer, or if you have risk factors for colon cancer, such as smoking or obesity.

Endoscopic resection may be the treatment of choice for early (early) cancer of esophagus 1 ~ 2 that is located only on the mucosa or submucosal layer and does not invoke the vessels blood or lymphatic vessels. Early colorectal cancer can be easily removed with an endoscopic neck or knife. However, even the early histopathological examination of colon cancer of 10 ~ 15% of lymph nodes around cancer is widespread. It is inevitable to remove lymph nodes around the colon by three colon cancers.

Colon cancer is badociated with excessive consumption of animal fat, lack of fiber intake such as vegetables and fruits, lack of exercise, inflammatory bowel disease, advanced age and a family history of colorectal cancer. Colon cancer is also a problem, but rectal cancer just above the anus can have a major impact on the quality of life. If the cancer is on the side of the bad sphincter, remove the anus and make an "artificial anus". Of course, preoperative radiation therapy also reduces the extent of the tumor to restore the anus. However, when a large part of the rectum is removed, the bowel movement control function weakens, and we must see the changes frequently.
