What is Colon Cancer Screening Method?

How to choose a colon cancer screening method?

Colon cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract that occurs in the colon, and it is more likely to occur at the junction of the rectum and sigmoid colon. The incidence rate is the highest in the 40-50 age group, with a male to female ratio of 2 to 3: 1. The incidence is the third in gastrointestinal tumors.

Colon cancer is mainly adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma. The general shape is polypoid, ulcer type and so on.

 

Colon cancer can circulate along the intestinal wall, spread up and down along the longitudinal diameter of the intestinal tube or infiltrate deep into the intestinal wall.

In addition to lymphatic vessels, blood flow and local invasion, it can also be implanted into the abdominal cavity or spread along the suture and incision.

Patients with chronic colitis, colon polyps, and male obesity are susceptible.

How to choose Colorectal Cancer screening method?

Screening options for general-risk groups (ie, no family history or medical history of polyps, colon cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease, and no history of abdominal radiotherapy or prostate cancer radiotherapy in children) include colonoscopy, virtual colonoscopy, and stool examination.

 

Risk Factors of Colon cancer

Colonoscopy is the gold standard for screening colorectal cancer, and it is recommended to be done every ten years.

A colonoscopy doctor can view the inside of the colon and remove polyps or abnormal tissue for further detection.

Another less invasive option is virtual colonoscopy, or colon CT scan, which is recommended every five years.

However, if polyps are detected, colonoscopy is still required.

 

Other options include stool DNA testing, which should be done every three years. It is recommended to have a stool blood test once a year.

 

Infographic on Colon Cancer Screening

Colony cancer population should have a colonoscopy every five years, preferably not using other screening methods.

For those with a family history of colorectal cancer, it is recommended to start screening at the age of 40 or 5 years before the diagnosis of the family.

People with IBD should start screening after 8 years of illness.

How to Soften and Clean Blood Vessels?

The savior that softens the blood vessels is found, eat daily, remove garbage and blood vessels clean slowly The blood vessels are densely packed in the human body, and there are many branches, which are complicated. Blood supplies oxygen and oxygen to various organs and tissues through these blood vessels to ensure the health of the body. Once there is a problem with blood vessels, it will affect blood transport and cause abnormal phenomena, which is very detrimental to health. Among them, the occurrence of blood clots in blood vessels is very serious. It can cause hardening and blockage of blood vessels, which is extremely detrimental to the health of blood vessels.

Organic Food in India Asia

  Organic food (Organic Foods) is also called ecological or biological food. Organic food is a relatively unified term for non-polluting natural food in the world. In India organic foods are getting popular at a very fast pace. Organic food usually comes from the organic agricultural production system and is produced and processed according to international organic agricultural production requirements and corresponding standards.

What is Biomechanics?

    The field of biophysics known as biomechanics (bio-mechanics) uses the principles and techniques of mechanics to the quantitative analysis of mechanical issues in living beings. Its studies cover everything from entire organisms to systems and organs (including blood, body fluids, organs, bones, etc.), from bird flying and fish swimming to flagella and cilia movement to the movement of body fluids in plants. The three laws of energy, momentum, and mass conservation as well as the constitutive equations characterising physical attributes form the foundation of biomechanics. Research in biomechanics focuses on mechanical issues that are connected to physiology and medicine. It can be separated into motion biomechanics, biofluid mechanics, and biosolid mechanics depending on the various research objects.     Bio-mechanics belongs to the branch of biophysics. The research scope ranges from biological whole to systems and organs.   Table of Contents 1. O
