This document discusses colorectal cancer, risk factors, symptoms, screening tests, and prevention. It notes that colorectal cancer often has no symptoms in early stages. Risk increases with age, family history, inflammatory bowel disease. Screening can detect and remove precancerous polyps, increasing chances of survival if cancer is found early. Tests discussed include annual fecal occult blood test, fecal immunochemical test, stool DNA test, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, CT colonography, and barium enema. The best screening method depends on individual risk factors and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
I and 4 other classmates researched Colorectal Cancer, commonly called Colon Cancer, and presented before our class about what we learned. Our presentation covered the pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors, screenings, signs and symptoms, assessments and diagnostic tests, diagnostic criteria, treatments, and article on evidence based practices.

Cellular Signaling Pathways have direct implications on our understanding of tumor cell behavior. A general overview is presented here followed by a brief discussion of some of the major pathways currently implicated in cancer progression : Ras/RAF/MAP kinase pathway and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway s
Rectal cancer grows in the rectum cells which are placed beneath the sigmoid colon and over the anus in our body. The rectal and colon that are present in the body come together, that is colorectal cancer. The reason behind these circumstances is that they both are part of the digestive system.
Gastroenterologist Dr. Patricia Raymond takes medicine seriously, and herself lightly. As a female gastroenterologist, she is, in fact, a “Chick who checks cheeks”. Dr. Raymond’s mission is to decrease the fright and ‘ick’ that keep about 50% of Americans from getting their screening colonoscopy at age 50—using laughter and knowledge to combat the fear. You can enjoy some of that humor at her website ColonJoke.com. And you can watch her music parody videos on YouTube at www.ButtMeddler.com. Please give a warm welcome to Dr. Pat Raymond’s alter ego, the divine….Ms Butt Meddler!

Colorectal Screening: Your Best Protection Against Colorectal CancerSummit Health
Summit Medical Group gastroenterologist John M. Dalena, MD, discusses the benefits and risks of the procedure as well as when and how often you should be screened.
25. Symptoms
Early, usually has no
symptoms
More advanced disease:
rectal bleeding, blood in
stool, change in bowel
habits, lower abdominal
cramping, anemia, weight
loss
32. Benefits of Colorectal Screening
Cancer Prevention-
removal of
precancerous polyps
prevents cancer
Increased Survival- early
detection increases chances of
long term survival.
36. Colorectal Cancer Tests
Yearly Fecal occult
blood test
Yearly Fecal
immunochemical test
Stool DNA test (interval
uncertain)
37. Colorectal Cancer Tests
Flexible CT Colonography
Sigmoidoscopy every (virtual colonoscopy)
5 yrs OR every 5yrs
Colonoscopy every 10
yrs OR
Double Barium
contrast Enema every
5 yrs OR
39. Colonoscope
Thin flexible scope
which is dial controlled
and maneuverable with
fiberoptic video camera.
It also blows air to inflate
the colon, irrigates with
water, suctions, inserts
instruments for removal,
biopsies, cauterization of
polyps skin tissue.
43. Stool DNA Test
Rationale behind:
Detects blood in the stool – which is
intermittent and non-specific
Colon cells are shed continuously
Polyps and cancer cells contain abnormal
DNA
Stool DNA tests look for abnormal DNA from
cells that are passed in the stool*
Drawbacks:
Misses some adenomas
Still in testing phase
Cost ($300-400)
Not covered by all insurance
46. CT
Colonography New Sources of Risk
Colorectal cancer prevention largely focuses
on finding polyps, but flatter, less visible lesions
that are not polyps are also cancer risks.
Limitations:
Polyp
Requires full bowel prep (which most
patients find
Elevated
to be the most distressing element of lesion
colonoscopy)
Colonoscopy is required if abnormalities Flat
detected, lesion
sometimes necessitating a second bowel
prep Depressed
lesion
Steep learning curve for radiologists
Limited availability to high quality exams in The New York Times: Illustrations by JAMA
many parts of the country
Most insurers do not currently cover CTC as
a screening modality
Can miss flat, smaller lesions
48. What is Best For You?

Unless high risk or symptoms age 50
colonoscopy or discuss other screening
methods.
50. What is Best For You?
