Colon Cancer Symptoms and Causes

As the last line of food digestion, colon cancer potential of the food we eat. There are five stages with each character and magnitude of possible survival of the smaller to the patient.

Symptoms

* Fatigue, shortness of breath when working, and the head feels dizzy.
* Bleeding in the rectum, temporary satiety, or stomach cramps and pressure on the rectum.
* The presence of blood in the stool, as occurs in people with stomach bleeding, intestinal polyps, or hemorrhoids.
* Pale, pain in general, malnutrition, weak, thin, place the fluid in the abdominal cavity, liver enlargement, and enlargement of the spleen channel.

Causes

* Contact with chemical substances such as heavy metals, toxins, and ototoksin and electromagnetic waves.
* Poor diet, including too much meat and fat that is not matched fresh fruits and vegetables that contain lots of fiber.
* Excessive iron include bile pigment present in, beef and lamb as well as blood transfusions.
Saturated fats and omega-6 (linol acid).
* Alcoholic beverages, especially beer. Change the alcohol into the intestines asetilaldehida that increase the risk of colon cancer.
* Obesity.
* Working while sitting all day, such as executives, administrative staff, or public vehicle drivers.

Medical examination

Fiberoptik colonoscopy:
Insert a pipe made from a kind of optical fiber into the intestine through the anus (rectum). The camera located on the tool can be used to perform checks whether there are polyps in the colon or not.

CT Scan.

Blood tests:
Determining the tumor marker CEA (carcino-embryonis antigen) in the blood.

Treatment
Chemotherapy
Radiation

Operation
Cutting diseased colon, and reconnect the two ends of healthy bowel.

Laparoscopic techniques:
Through a small hole made several points in the stomach. Operations are conducted with small instruments that are operated through the holes and monitored through the monitor.

Prevention

* Consumption of lots of fiber. To facilitate bowel movement and reduce the degree of acidity, concentration of fatty acids, bile acids, and iron in the large intestine.
* Acid omega-3 fats, which are scattered in certain fish.
* Concentration of calcium, vitamins A, C, D, and E and betakarotin.
* Milk containing Lactobacillus acidophilus.
* Exercise and moves so much more easily and regularly to defecate.
* Life relax and reduce stress.

Early Detection
Like the early detection of cervical cancer using papsmear or for breast cancer using mammography, colon cancer can be detected early.

Early detection of colon cancer is recommended to those who have turned 50 years old. But for those who have had a family history of ovarian cancer, colon and lung cancer, early detection is recommended before the age of 50 years.

Colon cancer is considered as a disease that travels slow. Therefore, people are encouraged to do early detection through blood tests in feces and colonoscopy.

"We recommend that early detection made since the age of 40 years for which it has a history of these three types of cancer in the family," said Dr. Aru W Sudoyo, consultant hematology and medical oncology from FKUI / RSUPN Cipto Mangunkusumo to Media Indonesia, last week in his office.

Especially for those who have experienced symptoms such as bleeding during bowel movements and the closing of roads or intestinal blockage, "said Aru, early detection is recommended.

According to Aru, a procedure early detection of colon cancer include:

Plug rectal examination by a doctor when a person reaches the age of 50 years. The examination and to determine any abnormalities in the prostate.

After that, the laboratory examination of blood tests faint (Occult Blood) on a regular basis, whether there is blood in the stool or not. Then visual inspection with the endoscope in the colon or called colonoscopy. Examination colonoscopy or bowel binoculars are recommended be done for those who have reached the age of 50 years.

Colonoscopy examination is relatively safe, not dangerous, but these tests are not fun. Colonoscopy performed for colorectal cancer as well find a tissue for examination at the pathology laboratory. In this examination is required fiberoptik endoscopy equipment used for colonoscopy examination. The tool can be seen throughout the large intestine, photographed, and biopsy of the tumor when found.

Another way to support the diagnosis of colon cancer is by barium enema. On barium enema examination, barium liquid material is inserted into the colon through the anus and the silhouette (shadow) was photographed by means of X-rays. In this examination can only be seen that there is disorder, may be a tumor, and if there needs to be followed by colonoscopy examination.

This examination can also detect cancers and polyps in the amount exceeds one centimeter. Weakness, in this investigation can not be done the biopsy.

Colonoscopy can be seen with abnormalities on the macroscopic picture. If there is no protrusion or ulcer, colonoscopy surveillance aimed at disorders colors, shapes the surface, and image blood vessels. Aru said that with early detection of colon cancer is expected to be handled or treated. Some therapies, like chemotherapy and radiation can be done to overcome colon cancer

Brokoli dapat mencegah infeksi dan kanker lambung

Sebuah penelitian yang dipublikasikan dalam Cancer Preventation Research

menunjukkan bahwa mengkonsumsi brokoli dapat menghambat infeksi Helicobacter pylori, penyebab utama kanker lambung. Peneliti melakukan penelitian terhadap 48 pria dan waita Jepang yang terinfeksi Helicobacter pylori, kemudian secara acak memilih mereka untuk memakan 70 gram brokoli segar setiap hari selama delapan minggu dan sisanya mengkonsumsi alfalfa dalam jumlah yang sama.

Mereka diperiksa tingkat infeksi H. pylori pada awal penelitian dan saat empat dan delapan minggu kemudian menggunakan uji pernafasan, serum dan stool. Peneliti menemukan bahwa tingkat H.Pylori lebih rendah signifikan pada minggu ke delapan pada ketiga jenis uji tersebut diantara subjek yang mengkonsumsi brokoli, sedangkan subjek yang mengkonsumsi alfalfa ditemukan infeksinya tetap.

Peneliti menyimulkan bahwa pengurangan H.pylori akan mengurangi kanker lambung, dan konsumsi brokoli dapat mencegak kanker lambung. FAN

Milk Consumption In Teens Will Reduce Body Fat

In a study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition by Moore and his colleagues, suggested that teenagers who consume milk-based foods generally have a body fat level lower than adolescents who consume less dairy products. Research conducted on 6095 children aged 5-11 years and 4520 adolescents 12-16 years of age. milk intake classified into low, medium, or high. For women, low intake means one or fewer servings per day, was meant serving under three times, while high means more than three servings. For men, low intake means two or fewer servings per day, was meant for more than two to three servings, while high means four servings or more. Analysis conducted using BMI (weight index) and skinfold thickness measurements at the triceps and below scapula. Researchers found that in children aged 5-11 years found no consistent results between the consumption of milk and body fat. but in adolescents, the group who consumed the least dairy have the body fat is higher than the group who consumed the most milk. Compared with young women who consumed the least milk, the young women who consume one to three servings a day had more body fat, thin 2.5 mm. While the young women who consumed 3 servings or more a thin layer of fat over 5 mm. So that it can be concluded that milk consumption in adolescents will reduce body fat.

Can we care for and preserve these natural wonders for our children and grandchildren? Hopefully it's not a dream.

Discovery Ready to Launch Today

Aviation Agency and the U.S. Space (NASA) gave the green light to continue the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery, Tuesday (25 / 8), to the International Space Station (ISS) carrying seven crew.

Mission officials said, they could see no technical obstacles to fly on August 25, at 01.36 PM (05.36 GMT), from the Kennedy space center at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

According to meteorologist Kathy Winters, Monday in Florida, good weather conditions expected during launch, but there are still risks hurricanes, thunder, and lightning distance of 8 kilometers from the launch pad where the shuttle is filled nearly 2 million liters of liquid hydrogen and oxygen.

"Weather conditions is a challenge in filling the fuel tank," said Mike Moses. The plane was carrying supplies including new bedrooms, freezing machines, food, and transporting U.S. astronauts, Nicole Stott. Stott will inhabit the ISS to replace an astronaut who will return to Earth with Discovery.

Visible traces astronaut on the Moon

Recent photos from the Moon probes like NASA's going to end the debate, whether the U.S. astronauts had actually landed on the Moon. Photographs taken from the spacecraft camera Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) that shows the footprints of two Apollo astronauts are trying to reach a crater on the Moon. Photo shows the plains around the Apollo 14 landing site, where astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell set foot on the moon on February 5, 1971 using a lander Antares. The images shown last week showed that the two astronauts had approached the crater lip Cone Crater at a distance of about 30 meters before they decide to come back again. At first glance, the photo shows the moon's surface is smooth without any sign of human presence. However, if observed in more detail, see some trace of landing astronaut Antares and visible presence in the lower left side of the image. Trail shoes Shepard and Mitchell look slightly darker than the surrounding plains. Areas explored in Shepard and Mitchell in the Apollo 14 mission is hilly and rocky area called the Fra Mauro highlands. This mission is the third of six times the Apollo Moon landings between 1969 and 1972. LRO previously been sending photos Apollo 14 landing site and the area known as Tranquility Base, the location of the first landing on the Moon. Tranquility Base Apollo 11 astronauts landed on July 20, 1969. Hunt Cone Crater On February 6, 1971, on the second trip of the visit for 33 hours on the Moon, Shepard and Mitchell tried to reach Cone Crater to see the bottom. The crater is located about 1.4 km from Antares that the lander is not seen by the astronauts. In addition, the hilly region causes a tiring journey. Even worse, Shepard and Mitchell climbed difficulties in the smooth surface of the Moon. "The other problem, the surface instability in the region makes them difficult to mark their location through," writes Shepard, who died in 1998. "Ed and I have trouble deciding, which road will we take, how far we've walked, and where we are at it." "And then came the most frustrating moment of the journey. We thought that was close to the crater. But then, we were on the edge of craters smaller, and still quite far from Cone Crater," he wrote. "We were contacted Houston (mission control center) and tell us the position of doubt." Both ended up not continue the journey toward Cone Crater and returned to the lander Antares. In photos LRO, one marker location called Saddle Rock, had previously been photographed by Shepard and Mitchell-could be seen. From the photos it looks just how close to real astronauts from their destination. When Shepard and Mitchell walked on the surface of the Moon, their colleague, Stuart Roosa, orbiting the Moon in the command module. They left the moon on February 6, 1971 and returned to Earth three days later.
