Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In India, the number of people affected by colon cancer is steadily rising, especially in urban areas due to changes in diet, lifestyle, and aging population. However, colon cancer is also one of the most preventable and treatable cancers if detected early.
This makes awareness, regular screenings, and timely treatment critically important. If you or a loved one is concerned about colon cancer, guidance from an experienced cancer specialist is essential. Dr. Shivam, regarded as the best cancer specialist in Tricity (Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula), offers expert care backed by advanced techniques and compassionate support throughout the cancer journey.
Colon cancer begins in the large intestine (colon), which is the final part of the digestive system. It usually starts as small, noncancerous clumps of cells called polyps. Over time, some of these polyps can turn into cancer. When the cancer starts in the rectum, it is referred to as rectal cancer; together, they are often grouped under colorectal cancer.
Colon cancer can affect anyone, but certain risk factors increase your chances:
Even if you don’t have these risk factors, routine screening is still crucial as many cases occur in people without a family history.
One of the dangers of colon cancer is that it often develops without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. When symptoms do appear, they may include:
These symptoms can mimic other digestive problems, so timely evaluation by a specialist is important.
Early detection through routine screening can save lives. Dr. Shivam recommends beginning screening at age 45, or earlier if you have a family history or other risk factors.
Screening tests include:
If colon cancer is suspected, further tests such as biopsy, blood tests, CT/MRI scans, and PET scans may be used to confirm the diagnosis and determine the stage.
Treatment depends on the stage of cancer, location, and patient’s overall health. Dr. Shivam provides a personalized treatment plan using a multi-disciplinary approach.
Surgery is often the first step for early-stage colon cancer. Types include:
Used after surgery or for advanced cancers to kill remaining cancer cells or shrink tumors.
More commonly used for rectal cancer, either before or after surgery.
Advanced treatments that use medications to target cancer-specific genes or boost the immune system’s response to cancer.
