Colon Cancer Treatment Cost In Turkey
What is Colon Cancer?
Cancer of the large intestine is known as Colon Cancer. The colon is the last part of the digestive tract. Old age people are more susceptible to colon cancer.
It develops as a polyp or benign non-cancerous lump that grows into cancer.
Regular screening is advised to detect these polyps and remove them before developing further into cancerous growth.
Initial signs and symptoms may comprise blood in the stool, repeated changes in bowel habits, undefined weight loss, and a feeling that the bowel isn't completely empty.
How is the Procedure Performed?
For the treatment of colon cancer, we have many options. Surgery is required in the initial stage based on the cancer's location. It can be a Polypectomy, Endoscopic Mucosal Resection, or Laparoscopic removal of polyps.
However, in advanced cases, Partial Colectomy with lymph node dissection and sometimes an ostomy is done where a passage is created for passing stool.
Later on, Chemotherapy, Radiation therapy, Targeted Drug Therapy, and Immunotherapy are used as adjuvant treatments.
Palliative care is essential as the body has to accommodate after surgery.
Who is the Right Doctor for Colon Cancer Treatment?
The right doctor for treating Colon Cancer is a General surgeon or Gastroenterologist with a Surgical and Radiation Oncologist.
What tests are required?
Diagnostic tests for the detection of Colon Cancer are Colonoscopy and blood test for tumor marker CEA ( carcinoembryonic antigen).
Apart from diagnosis, a screening test for elderly people is suggested so that it can be prevented.
What is the Usual Success Rate for this Procedure?
The five-year survival rate for localized Colon Cancer is around 90%, but in cases of metastasis, it is 63%.
The contribution of regular screening is relatively high in reducing the death rate and early diagnosis.
