Generally speaking, treatment should be started as soon as possible after the occurrence of intestinal cancer, and treatment measures should be taken for intestinal cancer, otherwise the continuous deterioration of intestinal cancer may have an impact on health. Intestinal cancer can be divided into colon cancer and rectal cancer. Generally, there will be some abnormal manifestations in the early stage of the disease. Then, in the early stage of colon cancer, what abnormal conditions will appear in the body? Let's take a look.
Generally speaking, the early symptoms of colon cancer are as follows:
First of all, the change of defecation habits
In the early stage of colon cancer, it is generally characterized by thin stool, purulent blood and increased defecation times. When the tumor continues to grow, diarrhea and constipation will appear alternately due to the influence of disease excreta. There are many difficulties in defecation, which are aggravated with the development of the disease. In addition, if the location of cancer is relatively low, there may also be symptoms of urgency in defecation.
Second, indigestion.
In the early stage of colon cancer, the body will send a signal. If digestive function declines, it may be caused by colon cancer. Local canceration develops slowly, which easily leads to the decline of digestive function. Patients are more prone to indigestion, and compared with normal people, they are more prone to digestive function decline due to uncontrolled diet. Therefore, if you find that your digestive ability has decreased, you should find out the reason. If it is related to colon cancer, it is necessary to start treatment in time.
Third, the symptoms of poisoning
Symptoms of early colon cancer include anemia, low fever, fatigue, emaciation and swelling. Anemia and sudden weight loss in a short time are one of the most common symptoms of early colon cancer.
Fourth, the weight has a downward trend.
Although the symptoms of early colon cancer are not obvious, there will be some different changes in the body. For example, weight loss may be caused by colon cancer. Because the intestinal function decreases during the development of colon cancer, the absorption of nutrients is blocked.
In addition, cancer cells are easy to compete with normal cells for nutrition during development. Without adequate nutrition, patients may start to lose weight. If the weight changes and shows a downward trend, you need to be alert to colon cancer.
Fifth, it is easy to bloat.
In the early stage of colon cancer, some people will feel flatulence in the abdomen, which is also a possible phenomenon in the early stage of colon cancer. At the beginning of the disease, the intestinal function is damaged, and the digestion of food may be hindered. Under the influence of local cancer, the digestive burden is aggravated, and some people will feel abdominal distension.
Therefore, it is obviously necessary to find out the cause of abdominal distension. If it is caused by colon cancer, it is necessary to start treatment in time to restore intestinal function. Only in this way can we avoid the symptoms of abdominal distension.
There will be some changes in the body when colon cancer appears. For example, abnormal defecation may be caused by colon cancer. In the case of colon cancer, the local tumor volume gradually increases, affecting the surrounding tissues, and the patient's intestinal function will begin to decline, and then the defecation habit will change. It is easy to discharge mucus or diarrhea, and it is necessary to be alert to colon cancer when you notice abnormal performance.
Director Wang Sanhu, a Chinese medicine oncologist at Beijing Sanxitang Chinese Medicine Clinic, said that radical surgery is the first choice for colon cancer treatment, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The resection scope of radical colon cancer surgery includes the cancer ring and the whole mesentery, which can inhibit the metastasis of cancer and completely remove the possible metastatic lymph nodes.
