Ever wonder how cancer staging is determined❓

A cancer's stage is determined by factors like tumour size, invasion of nearby tissues, lymph node involvement, and tumour grade. Understanding the 5 stages can empower you:

Stage 0️⃣ - Non-invasive cancer
Stage 1️⃣ - Small, confined tumour
Stage 2️⃣ - Larger, localised tumour
Stage 3️⃣ - Cancer is larger and may have spread to adjacent tissue or lymph nodes
Stage 4️⃣ - Cancer spread to distant parts

Stay informed and empowered! If you have any concerns, speak with your doctor for personalized guidance and support. 🩺💬

Do all cancer patients suffer from severe pain❓

While severe pain is a common concern, cancer pain isn't universal. Studies show roughly one in four with advanced stages experience minimal pain.

💉1 in 4: No pain
💉1 in 4: Severe pain
💉Others experience mild to moderate pain

In the last decade, advancements in colorectal cancer treatments have led to improved outcomes for patients! 👏

One of the newer approaches is genomic profiling, which involves studying the genetic information related to the patient or specific cell type in a laboratory – observing how the genes react with each other and the environment.

Genomic profiling is valuable for understanding why certain individuals develop certain diseases while others do not, or why different individuals can respond differently to the same drug.

This approach allows doctors to personalise treatments to patients based on their cancer characteristics and genetic make-up.

With advancements in technology, colon cancer patients now have access to more effective detection and treatment options. 🏥💊

💉Colonoscopy: This crucial test not only detects colon cancer early but also allows for the removal of precancerous polyps, potentially preventing cancer from developing.

💉Laparoscopic surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that removes affected parts of the colon, promoting quicker recovery and less discomfort for patients.

💉Robot-assisted surgery: Robots are now assisting surgeons in performing complex surgeries with greater precision and control for greater patient outcome.

These advancements are making a real difference in the lives of colon cancer patients. Stay informed and explore your options 🩺

Polyp in your colon? Don't panic! It doesn't always mean cancer! ❌

Most polyps are harmless, but they can become cancerous over time. Removing them early through regular screening is key to preventing colorectal cancer. 🩺

The transition from a benign polyp to cancer typically takes 5 to 10 years, giving us a significant window to detect and treat colorectal cancer early. 🕛

Regular screenings like colonoscopies can save lives! Don't let fear hold you back! Get informed and talk to your doctor about your risk factors and screening options. 👨‍⚕️💪
