LIFE modern current traveled has made someone spoiled. The problem with the development of technology, transportation, and food intake is consumed to make someone have to pay dearly for his health. In fact, many dangerous diseases have been threatened and had to be detected early.

One of these diseases is cancer, colorectal. That attack cancer at the young age caused by gene mutations that have occurred at birth. Genes are constantly exposed to the carcinogens in food, turned out to be the biggest trigger of colorectal cancers.

Cancer is a disease of cell growth and malignancy can be about anything organs. Can attack the colon, rectum, or both. Colon cancer (colon) and the area between the large intestine and anus (rectum) has much in common, and often jointly called colorectal cancers.

Large intestine and rectum are part of the digestive system that processes food waste diasup and leftovers from the body. Colorectal cancer is cancer that grows in the large intestine (colon) or rectum.

Colorectal cancer, other cancers as the nature of properties can be grown relatively quickly, or roots can infiltrate (infiltrate) into the surrounding tissue and damage it, it can spread far through the lymph nodes and blood vessels to organs distant from the origin grows like liver, lung lungs, which can eventually cause death if not handled properly.

However, do not need to fear a spread of colorectal cancer at an early age. By finding cancer at an early stage, or better known as the early detection, the cancer will be dealt with more quickly.

“Cancer stage 1, there are still 85 to 95 percent of patients survive 5 years. Whereas when it is at stage 4, only 5 percent of patients who survive,” said Dr. Aru Wisaksono DR SpPD Sudono KHOM, leading cancer experts in Indonesia in the event media workshop “Colorectal Cancer” conducted by the Cancer Foundation of Indonesia in Jakarta, some time ago.

Life in big cities that many people find it difficult to adjust a healthy lifestyle, also became the cause of colorectal cancers. Often eat fast food that does not contain fiber, less vegetables and fruits, like eating red meat, obesity, lack of exercise, and smoking habits of other triggers that make it more contagious kanke young age.

“We were killed by the foods we eat alone,” said Dr. Aru.

So, what tests to detect colorectal cancer? The doctor who served as Chairman of Medicine Association of Indonesia translate this part.

1. Vague blood test checks the stool (fecal Occult Blood Test / FOBT)

This simple examination is the initial screening test of colorectal cancer, conducted by taking faecal samples placed on a special card that will change color if the stool contains blood.

2. Flexible sigmoidoscopy

Pipe or a small and thin tubes with cameras inserted into the rectum so the doctor can see through the screen into the rectum and into the first part of the large intestine where half of the polyps are common. This examination is conducted every five years.

3. Colonoscopy

Is the most accurate test. Pipe or a long elastic tube and inserted into the rectum small so that the doctor can see the entire large intestine, taking polyps and took tissue samples to do a biopsy. Decision polyps will prevent cancer developing. Usually the doctor will provide mild anesthesia before. Inspection is done periodically, ie every 10 years.

“As to other tests, can be through the rectum conspicuous. Typically, doctors have known if the patient has a problem, by inserting a finger into the rectum of patients,” explained Dr. Aru.

Apart from the ways above, Dr. Aru also recommend other tests to diagnose colorectal cancers. Namely through Double Contrast Barium enema. Where a small tube inserted into the rectum so that the liquid barium (white as chalk) can enter into the large intestine.

Special X-rays will then be transmitted to the tumor which appears as dark shadows. Barium easier to see the tumor. Before the test done, you will be asked to fast for several hours.

In addition, ultrasound test uses sound waves to take pictures inside the body. Abnormal pattern of the image can indicate a tumor and Virtual Colonoscopy / CT Colonography, a test that makes three-dimensional reconstruction of the large intestine to detect any abnormalities.

Picture taken in a few seconds after the colon with carbon dioxide developed inserted through a small tube. While virtual colonoscopy is a new technique that is still not clear accuracyEarly Detection of Colorectal Cancer Symptoms
