At the same time, it is one of the most preventable cancers with a suitable lifestyle. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Steps to take to prevent colon cancer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Balanced diet: Eat more fruit, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. These foods are rich in fiber, promote bowel transit and protect the colon.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limit certain foods. Eating red and processed meats (cold cuts, cured meats, hot dogs) in moderation, along with alcohol and highly processed foods, is a considerable help.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular physical activity. Even moderate physical activity can reduce the risk of developing colon cancer. The important thing is that the physical activity is regular.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintain a healthy weight. Obesity is a risk factor. Colon cancer prevention is achieved by keeping body weight within the normal range, just as with the prevention of other types of cancer. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quit smoking. Smoking also increases the risk of getting colon disease.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular screening. Starting at age 50, it is essential to have regular screening. The diagnostic services of the Nefrocenter Group make it possible to have specific tests for the early diagnosis of colon cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>The causes <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers have not yet clearly defined the precise causes of colon cancer. There are, however, risk factors, which is why colon cancer prevention is necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age. The risk of getting the disease increases with age. Checkups should be done regularly starting at age 50.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heredity. If there have been cases of colon cancer in the family, the risk is higher and checkups can even begin earlier. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorectal polyps. Polyps are small growths that can become cancerous, especially if they do not receive appropriate treatment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inflammatory diseases. People with chronic inflammation of the intestine that results in diseases such as Crohn&#8217;s disease and ulcerative colitis are at risk.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifestyle. Poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, smoking and obesity are causes that can contribute to the onset of the disease.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>The symptoms of colon cancer<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colon cancer prevention is essential, because in the early stages the cancer can show no symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rectal bleeding. Bright red blood in the stool or black blood is one of the most obvious symptoms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes in bowel habits. Constipation alternating with diarrhea and a feeling of incomplete emptying after a bowel movement are warning signs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdominal pain. A vague feeling of discomfort or abdominal pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unintentional weight loss. It can be a sign of advanced cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anemia. It occurs because of blood loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To have diagnostic tests done, you can contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nefrocenterlab.it\/\">NefrocenterLab<\/a> and the facilities of the <a href=\"\/en\/\">Nefrocenter<\/a> Group.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Treatment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment of colon cancer depends on the stage of the disease, as well as on the characteristics of the tumor itself. The main treatment options include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surgery. This is the main treatment used to remove the tumor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemotherapy. It is used to kill cancer cells.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radiation therapy. It is used to destroy cancer cells with radiation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biological therapies. They use the immune system to fight the tumor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colon cancer prevention.
