what are the symptoms for Colin cancer?

Answer 1

- Blood in your stool is a relatively common sign, but it does not necessarily imply cancer. It could be just a hemorrhoid or something similar.

- Abdominal pain/discomfort. That's typically when it's really bad. I haven't experienced it.

- Pencil-thin stools. Colon cancer typically forms like sediment in a pipe. Thus, if your stools are thin like they're being forced through a small opening, that's a pretty sure-fire sign.

There may be a couple other lesser symptoms, but that's what I know from experience, as I currently have colon cancer!

Answer 2

Cancer of the colon or collateral - is the disease characterized by the development of malignant cells in the lining or epithelium of the first and longest portion of the large intestine. Malignant cells have lost normal control mechanisms governing growth. These cells may invade surrounding local tissue or they may spread throughout the body and invade other organ systems.

Synonyms for the colon include the large bowel or the large intestine. The rectum is the continuation of the large intestine into the pelvis that terminates in the anus.

Symptoms of colorectal cancer include:

Colon cancer causes symptoms related to its local presence in the large bowel or by its effect on other organs if it has spread. These symptoms may occur alone or in combination:

- a change in bowel habit
- blood in the stool
- bloating, persistent abdominal distention
- constipation
- a feeling of fullness even after having a bowel movement
- narrowing of the stool—so-called ribbon stools
- persistent, chronic fatigue
- abdominal discomfort
- unexplained weight loss
- and, very rarely, nausea and vomiting

Most of these symptoms are caused by the physical presence of the tumor mass in the colon. Similar symptoms can be caused by other processes; these are not absolutely specific to colon cancer. The key is recognizing that the persistence of these types of symptoms without ready explanation should prompt the individual to seek medical evaluation.

If a tumor develops in the colon, it will begin to cause symptoms as it reaches a certain size. The symptoms are caused by the tumor blocking the opening in the colon. In addition, the tumor commonly oozes blood that is lost in the stool. (Often, this blood is not visible.) This results in anemia and chronic fatigue. Weight loss is a late symptom, often implying substantial obstruction or the presence of systemic disease.-

Answer 3

Colon cancer can be very difficult to detect. Common symptoms include blood in the stool, change in bowel movements (size/caliber, frequency), abdominal pain. In the early stages it often causes no symptoms at all.

Answer 4

I suppose Colin would be told by a doctor that he had cancer.
As for Colon cancer I'm not sure

Answer 5

blood in your stool,,,,usually dark blood, but in my case it was bright red, i filled the toilet twice with it,,was taken to emergency, next day i had a colonoscopy and was told i had colon cancer,,which was one malignant tumor in my right ascending colon which was surgically removed.. prior to the blood episode i had no symptoms that i was aware of..I was 63 at the time. I had never had a colonoscopy..trust me, people should definitely have colonoscopies around 50 or 55 yrs. old at the latest...

Answer 7

My grandma had that and she finally went to the doctor and they found a cyst and removed it. Usually the signs are bleeding when defecating, constant pain in the bowels, etc. If you always have a sore bum when you poo, go see a doctor to have him ram his finger up your you know what. It can be a lifesaver.
