What Is Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, begins in the large intestine (colon) — the final part of the digestive tract. It usually starts as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inner walls of the colon. Over time, some of these polyps can become cancerous if not detected early.
Early diagnosis plays a key role in successful treatment and recovery.
Common Symptoms of Colon Cancer
Colon cancer often develops silently, but some warning signs include:
- Persistent changes in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of stool)
- Blood in stool or rectal bleeding
- Unexplained weight loss
- Weakness or fatigue
- Persistent abdominal pain, cramps, or bloating
- A feeling that your bowel doesn’t empty completely
If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a specialist immediately for evaluation.
Causes and Risk Factors
Colon cancer risk increases with:
- Age (50 years and above)
- Family history of colorectal cancer or polyps
- High-fat, low-fiber diet
- Obesity and sedentary lifestyle
- Smoking and heavy alcohol use
- Inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
Diagnosis of Colon Cancer
At our clinic, Dr. Prateek Padole uses advanced diagnostic tools to detect colon cancer at its earliest stage:
- Colonoscopy: Gold-standard test for visualizing the entire colon
- Biopsy: Tissue samples are examined for cancer cells
- CT or MRI Scans: To determine the extent (stage) of cancer spread
- Blood Tests (CEA levels): To track cancer progression
Early detection through colonoscopy screening can help prevent colon cancer before it develops.
