Colorectal Cancer is one of the common cancers. The increasing popularity of western lifestyles and an ageing population accelerates the incidence rate of colorectal cancer by 4.2% each year, but the ratio for early diagnosis is less than 10%.The latest data shows that the domestic incidence rate of colorectal cancer has an increasing trend while the age of people suffering from colorectal cancer is getting younger. The population of colorectal cancer patients is getting bigger and has the potential to exceed the population of lung cancer patients in cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
早期大腸癌恢復健康率高
一般來說，大腸癌早期的患者，如果及時到醫院進行就診和調理的話，那麼身體健康可以得到很快的恢復。現時臨床資料統計，對於早期的大腸癌經手術調理的5年生存率可以達到90%.，而在術後5年，如果大腸癌不復發以及轉移就可以認為是臨床恢復健康。
Unfortunately, most of the colorectal cancer patients are diagnosed with terminal colorectal cancer，恢復健康率還less than 50%而且調理過程極為痛苦，高昂的費用還會給家庭造成極大的負擔。即使痊癒，生活質量也會大打折扣。很多患者都因此失去了肛門，只能通過腸造瘺手術，在腹部掛一個糞袋解决排便問題。
Researchers have found that in one Grade A hospital in China that has carried out colonoscopy over 4000 times every year, colorectal cancer treatment over 1000 times but less than 200 diagnosed cases are by colonoscopy. Instead, the colonoscopy had spotted more colon polyp patients than colorectal cancer patients.Over 90% of the colorectal cancer patients that had received the treatment are diagnosed with developing colorectal cancer. What is more shocking is that 80%of them were misdiagnosed as benign conditions such as piles, colitis etc. in their initial consultation. Some of them even had a haemorrhoidectomy (piles removal surgery) andmissed the best time for curing colorectal cancer.。大腸癌早發現三個月，經過調理後，可以明顯提高恢復健康率，不僅可以明顯減少調理費用，還能減輕痛苦、延長壽命。
Subtle Symptoms In The Early Stage
Even though the symptoms of colorectal cancer are subtle in the early stage, you should be alert if you have the following conditions.
- 1. Blood in the stool
便血是大腸癌的最早期症狀，但是便血不是大腸癌的特有症狀，內痔腸息肉、潰瘍性結直腸炎、腸結核等許多疾病也都有便血的症狀。少量出血的時候肉眼是不易發覺的，便血量較多時候，血色鮮紅經藥物調理無效就應該警惕大腸癌。 - 2. Mucus, pus, and black stool
Cancerous tumour at anal canal, rectum, sigmoid colon comes with different amounts of mucus or pus as it is close to the anus. Cancerous tumour in the ascending colon may cause black stool. - 3. Irregular bowel habits
The frequency of stool may increase, as many as eight or nine times a day, passing very little stool, constipation, diarrhoea, drooping sensation in the anus etc. - 4. Change in forms of stool
Colorectal cancer at the end of the rectum or in anal canal may shrink, squeeze, leave marks on the stool. Seek medical assistance if the condition persists.
Conduct Colonoscopy and Gastroscopy Regularly
The characteristics of the gastrointestinal tract make gastrointestinal diseases undetectable in regular body check tests such as blood test, ultrasound scanning, electrocardiography (ECG), computed tomography (CT), and MRI etc. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy are the most important methods for gastrointestinal examination and effective screening of colorectal cancer.
It is very important to conduct gastroscopy and colonoscopy regularly. Researchers have found that only30%-40%of those who have a positive faecal occult blood test (FOBT) result will conduct a colonoscopy for further investigation.60%-70%of them will not conduct a further investigation for the positive FOBT result due to many other concerns. However, if a timely checkup is not carried out, the colorectal cancer is more likely to develop into an intermediate or final stage. Colorectal cancer in these stages is not easy to cure and the prognosis will not be good.
