Colorectal Cancer Treatment
What Is Colorectal Cancer (Colon and Rectal Cancer) ?
Colorectal cancer is a term used to refer to cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. Colon and rectal cancers begin in the digestive system, also called the GI (gastrointestinal) system. This is where food is processed to create energy and rid the body of solid waste matter (stool).
The small intestine continues breaking down the food and absorbs most of the nutrients. The small intestine joins the large intestine (also called the large bowel or colon), a muscular tube about five feet long. The first part of the colon absorbs water and nutrients from the food and also serves as a storage place for waste matter. The waste matter moves from the colon into the rectum, the last 6 inches of the digestive system. From there the waste passes out of the body through the opening called the anus…
Causes of colorectal cancer
There is no single cause of colorectal cancer, but some factors appear to increase the risk of developing it : -
Age – particularly after 50.
Having polyps (small growths on the inner wall of the colon and rectum).
Family history of colorectal cancer – especially if the relative (parent, sibling, child) developed colorectal cancer before the age of 45.
Having familial adenomatous polyposis (fap) or hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (hncc).
Inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or crohn’s disease).
High-fat diet.
Alcohol consumption.
Smoking.
Physical inactivity.
Obesity.
Ethnic background – people of ashkenazi (eastern european jewish) descent…
The diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer (Colon and Rectal Cancer)
The first step in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer may be a “digital rectal exam.” In this test, which is often part of a routine physical exam, the doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum to feel for abnormal growths and may test your stool for occult blood. If colorectal cancer is suspected, you and your doctor have many tests to choose from to make sure the diagnosis is correct. Since there is a wide range of options, knowing the differences can help you make a smart decision.

Eat salmon, mackerel, sardines, or herring. Regular consumption of these sources of omega 3 fatty acids may lower the risk of prostate cancer. Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. This hydrates the body, keeps the prostate working efficiently, and helps the risk to eliminate toxins from the body. Restrict your intake of dairy products. Moderate consumption of soured products such as low fat yogurt and kefir is acceptable. If you experience difficulty urinating or notice and increasing trend toward waking up to urinate during the night, consult your health care provider. This may indicate prostatic obstruction. Use cold pressed organic oils such as sesame, safflower, or olive oil to obtain essential fatty acids. Do not eat red meat. There is a definite correlation between high red meat consumption (five servings a week or more) and the development of prostate cancer. Eliminate from the diet alcoholic beverages, coffee, and all teas except for caffeine free herbal teas. Strictly avoid the following foods; junk foods, processed refined foods, salt, saturated fats, polyunsaturated vegetables oils, sugar, and white flour. Instead of salt, use a kelp or potassium substitute. If necessary, a small amount of blackstrap molasses or pure maple syrup can be used as a natural sweetener in place of sugar. Use whole wheat or rye instead of white flour. Unless otherwise recommended in the table above, take vitamins and other supplements daily with meals, with the exception of vitamin E, which should be taken before meals. Try to avoid all known carcinogens. Eat only organic foods, if possible. Avoid tobacco smoke, polluted air, polluted water noxious chemicals, and food additives. Use only distilled water or reverse osmosis filtered water. Municipal and well water can contain chlorine, fluoride, and agricultural chemical residue. Try following a macrobiotic diet. Get regular physical activity. Active men maintain better health and have lower risk of developing prostate cancer. Enjoy regular sexual activity. Regular ejaculation activates the prostate gland, keeping it from getting stagnant and inflamed. Do not take any drugs except those that are prescribed by your physician. Always seek counsel and alternative opinions before deciding which treatments, if any, you will pursue.

Esophageal Cancer Treatment
What is Esophageal Cancer ?
Esophageal cancer starts in the cells of the esophagus. Cancer of the esophagus may develop anywhere along the length of the esophagus. There are 2 main types: Squamous cell carcinoma, which starts in the squamous cells that line the esophagus and. Adenocarcinoma, which starts in the glandular cells of the lower third of the esophagus or in cells that have been damaged by acid backing up from the stomach
Causes & Risk Factors of Esophageal Cancer
Age – Esophageal cancer is more likely to occur as people get older, over age 60.
Sex – Cancer of the esophagus is more common in men than in women.
Tobcco / Alcohol Use – Chronic and/or heavy use of alcohol is another major risk factor.
Barrett’s Esophagus – Long-term irritation can increase the risk of esophageal cancer. Tissues at the bottom of the esophagus can become irritated if stomach acid frequently “backs up” into the esophagus — a problem called gastric reflux. Over time, cells in the irritated part of the esophagus may change and begin to resemble the cells that line the stomach. This condition, known as Barrett’s esophagus, is a premalignant condition that may develop into adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.
Medical History – Patients with family history of cancer.
Signs and Symptoms of Esophageal Cancer
Early esophageal cancer usually does not cause symptoms. However, as the cancer grows, symptoms may include: difficult or painful swallowing, severe weight loss, pain in the throat or back, behind the breastbone or between the shoulder blades, chronic cough, Vomiting and / or Coughing up blood.
