Paper Summary:
This paper describes what colon cancer is and looks at its etiology. Symptoms and treatments are then discussed, followed by a study of the prognosis of the disease. Screening methods and early detection methods are then presented.From the Paper:
"As a malignant neoplastic disease, colorectal cancer affects the large intestine and is characterized by melena, a change in bowel habits and the passing of blood. Malignant tumors of the large bowel usually occur after the age of fifty and are slightly more frequent in women than in men. The high incidence of colorectal cancer in the United States suggests that a diet high in refined carbohydrates and beef and low in roughage may be a causative factor. The risk of large bowel cancer is increased in chronic ulcerative colitis and especially in familial polyposis of the colon, meaning that it can be inherited."More papers on Colon Cancer:
