About Colorectal Cancer:

Cancer that begins in the colon is called colon cancer, while cancer in the rectum is known as rectal cancer. It is also called “Bowel Cancer”. Cancers that affect either of these organs may be called colorectal cancer. Though not true in all cases, the majority of colorectal cancers generally develop over time from adenomatous (precancerous) polyps. Polyps (growths) can change after a series of mutations (abnormalities) arise in their cellular DNA.

Finding colon cancer at its earliest stage provides the greatest option for a cure. A timely screening has been shown to reduce your risk of dying of colon cancer. 

What Is Colorectal Cancer (Bowel Cancer)?

What are the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer?

Unfortunately, some colorectal cancers might be present without any signs or symptoms. For this reason, it is very important to have regular colorectal screenings (examinations) to detect problems early. You can prevent colon cancer by addressing these polyps. Kaizen expert Dr. Samrat Jankar, a highly-proficient Colorectal surgeon in Pune, always explains the signs & symptoms of colon cancer. Common signs of colorectal cancer include the following:

• Change in bowel habits
• Blood on or in the stool
• Unexplained anemia
• Abdominal or pelvic pain or bloating
• Sudden, unexplained weight loss
• Vomiting
• A feeling of fullness and cramping in the abdomen
• Getting tired
• A feeling that your bowel doesn’t empty fully

Screening for colorectal cancer At Kaizen Gastro Care:

When you first come to Kaizen Gastro Care, Dr. Samrat Jankar Colorectal specialist ask about your medical history and then suggest several tests which are used to screen for colorectal cancer. Although colonoscopy is most recommended, other options are available. These are the most common screening tests:

• Fecal immunochemical test (FIT): This test looks for blood in the stool that is not easily seen visually. This test can be done at home by collecting stools in tubes. The collected stool will be tested at a lab for any blood.
• Guaiac-based fecal occult blood test (gFOBT): Similar to the FIT test, the guaiac-based fecal occult blood test also looks for hidden blood in the stool. The specimen (stool) for this test is also collected at home and sent to a lab. In this test, a chemical reaction is used to screen for any hidden blood. However, the gFOBT is unable to determine where in the digestive tract the blood is coming from. Additional testing will be needed to determine the exact location of the blood.
• Fecal DNA test: The fecal DNA test works by detecting genetic mutations and blood products in the stool. Genetic material, called DNA, is present in every cell of the body, including the cells lining the colon. Normal colon cells and their genetic material are passed with the stool every day. When colorectal cancer or a large polyp develops, abnormalities (or mutations) occur in the genetic material of the cells. Some mutations present in the polyp or cancer can be detected by laboratory analysis of the stool.
• Flexible sigmoidoscopy: A flexible sigmoidoscopy uses a device called a sigmoidoscope to see inside the rectum and lower colon. Unlike the tool used during a colonoscopy, this device is not as long, limiting how much of the colon can be seen. During this procedure, the sigmoidoscope is inserted into the anus and up through the rectum and sigmoid colon (s-shaped part). Gas is pumped in during the procedure to allow the caregiver the best possible view. This is a brief outpatient procedure, often performed without sedation. The bowel must be empty for this procedure—typically done with the help of a laxative and or enema before the test. Small polyps found during the procedure can be removed and tested for cancer. If these tests come back positive, a colonoscopy will be done.
• Colonoscopy: Colonoscopy is the best procedure to check for colorectal polyps and cancer. Colonoscopy is an outpatient procedure in which a physician uses a long, flexible scope (called a colonoscope) to view the rectum and the entire colon. During the procedure, polyps can be removed and tested for signs of cancer. The bowel must be cleaned-out—done with the help of a laxative (“bowel preparation”)—before the procedure begins. The patient is usually given a sedative for this procedure and will need help getting home afterward as the sedative wears off. A colonoscopy is considered a safe procedure with few risks.
• Double-contrast barium enema: This is an X-ray examination of the colon and rectum in which barium is given as an enema (through the rectum). Air is then blown into the rectum to expand the colon, producing an outline of the colon on an X-ray. A barium enema is not the most accurate method and should not be the procedure of choice for colorectal cancer screening. It also requires bowel preparation.
• CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy): In this procedure, also known as CT colonoscopy or virtual colonoscopy, a CT scan (imaging created with the use of X-rays) of the abdomen and pelvis is performed after drinking a contrast dye and inflating contrast and air into the rectum. No sedation is needed for this test. Like colonoscopy and barium enema, the colon must be cleaned out before the examination. In the case that a polyp is found, then a colonoscopy must be performed.

Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer at Kaizen Gastro Care:

Colorectal cancer can be diagnosed by a variety of tests. This condition can be diagnosed after you show symptoms or if your caregiver finds something during a screening test that is not normal. During the diagnosis process
