Affordable Colon Cancer Treatment India

The colon is a part of the digestive tract that connects the stomach and small intestine to the anus. Colon cancer is a growth that occurs in the lining of this colon. It is an extremely common problem worldwide, with over 1 million new cases of this illness diagnosed annually



The main colon cancer symptoms include abdominal pain and discomfort that are often mistaken for digestive tract problems. The patients can experience one or all of the following:
  • Abdominal hidden pain
  • Abdominal distention
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation

The diagnosis of colon cancer often involves colonoscopy, an examination of the colon using an instrument called colonoscope that enables an evaluation of the inner lining of the colon as well as to take a biopsy or sampling of cancer tissue. Once the diagnosis of colon cancer is made, the extent of the disease is often determined using a radiologic examination called CT scan. It allows an initial assessment of the extent of spread of cancer. 



There are 4 stages of colon cancer. It is defined as Stage 1, if the cancer tissue is confined to the lining of the colon or polyp. In Stage 2 colon cancer, the cancer tissue has invaded the layers of colonic wall, but has not yet spread beyond the wall. In Stage 3 colon cancer, the cancer tissue has penetrated the entire thickness of the colonic wall and spread to nearby lymph nodes. In Stage 4 disease, the cancer has spread to other organs such as liver.


The best treatment of colon cancer is, of course, prevention. The most effective and proven treatment option is performing colonoscopy, starting at the age of 50. All adults of this age are highly advised to undergo this life-saving procedure.
