Summary: Adenocarcinoma Colon Cancer One form of the colon cancer is Adenocarcinoma. The function of the colon aka the large bowel is to absorb water from the stool and patients of adenocarcinoma colon cancer usually report excessively hard stool. Although adenocarcinoma colon cancer is not uncommon, it is rarely found in young adults. Adenocarcinoma colon cancer is usually found in people who have some heredity of adenomatous polyposis or even non-polyposis colorectal cancer especially if the family history is from first-degree relatives. People having a high fat yet low fiber diet especially with a high intake of red meat are the ones that are most likely to suffer from adenocarcinoma. Even obesity is a cause of adenocarcinoma colon. Adenocarcinoma colon cancer is known to spread after invading the wall of the bowel. On crossing the muscular layer of the bowel's wall the tumor enters the lymphatic vessels and thereafter spreads to local as well as regional lymph nodes. Adenocarcinoma colon is known to produce small nodules within the abdomen to irritate tissues to cause the production of huge quantities of ascites. The treatment of choice for early adenocarcinoma colon cancer is surgery. Colon cancer surgery is usually carried out to remove the primary tumor for all cancers except those that have spread to distant organs. Summary: Colon Cancer - Understanding the Colon and how it Functions Colon cancer as well as colon cleansing is popular topics these days. 95% of all colon cancers can be stopped if caught early enough. Also experts agree that colon cancer may be prevented entirely through a high-fiber, low-fat diet. The nervous system controls the muscular contractions of your colon, which slowly moves your waste downward, toward your rectum. You experience these stronger muscular contractions as the "urge." The frequency of bowel movements varies from person to person. According to Rosenthal, "although many North American sources say it's normal to move your bowels anywhere from a few times per day to a few times per week, if you're not having one to three large, bulky, soft but firm bowel movements per day, you probably have a tendency to be constipated. Studies do show that Africans who have a lower incidence of colon cancer have more frequent bowel movements than North Americans who have a higher rate of colon cancer. Changing your lifestyle involves modifying your diet. Eating more fiber and drinking more water will help your digestive system work more efficiently. Soluble fiber helps lower bad cholesterol and insoluble fiber moves through the digestive tract and absorbs water like a sponge. This helps to form your waste quickly into a solid form, making the stools bigger, softer and easier to pass. Also getting more exercise can help alleviate constipation and keep your digestive system running smoothly. In addition Rosenthal recommends performing twice a day the following exercise which is called "The Squat."
