Treatment for the bowel cancer or colon cancer amp haemorrhoids?

Once the diagnosis has been confirmed by biopsy, the clinical stage of the cancer is assigned. Using the characteristics of the primary tumor, its depth of penetration through the bowel, and the presence or absence of regional or distant metastases, the stage of the cancer is derived. Often, the depth of penetration through the bowel or the presence of regional lymph nodes can't be assigned before surgery.With many cancers other than colon cancer, staging plays an important pre-treatment role to best determine treatment options. In colon cancer, almost all colon cancers are treated with surgery first, regardless of stage. Colon cancers through stage III, and even some stage IV colon cancers, are treated with surgery first before any other treatments are considered.SurgerySurgical removal of the involved anatomic segment of colon (colectomy) along with its blood supply and regional lymph nodes is the primary therapy for colon cancer. Usually, on the basis of the blood supply, the partial colectomies are separated into right, left, transverse, or sigmoid. The removal of the blood supply at its origin along with the regional lymph nodes that accompany it assures an adequate margin of normal colon on either side of the primary tumor. When the cancer lies in a position such that the blood supply and lymph drainage lies between two of the major vessels, both vessels are taken to assure complete radical resection or removal (extended radical right or left colectomy). If the primary tumor penetrates through the bowel wall, any tissue adjacent to the tumor extension is also taken if feasible.RadiationRadiation therapy is used as an adjunct to surgery if there is concern about potential for local recurrence post-operatively and the area of concern will tolerate the radiation. For instance, if the tumor invaded muscle of the abdominal wall but was not completely removed, this area would be considered for radiation. Radiation has significant dose limits when residual bowel is exposed to it because the small and large intestine do not tolerate radiation well.ChemotherapyChemotherapy is useful for patients who have had all identifiable tumor removed and are at risk for recurrence (adjuvant chemotherapy). Chemotherapy may also be used when the cancer is stage IV and is beyond the scope of regional therapy, but this use is rare.-

Believe it or not FIBER at least 25 to 30 grams a day helps prevent colon cancer and hemorrhoids..Fiber is like a brush and cleans the walls of the colon..You shouldn't have that stuff stuck to the sides to the walls..it is toxic..This is gross but you need to have a BM every day..At least the size of a banana and soft like tooth paste.. Look at your bm's makes sure they are brown not black because black means you are bleeding inside..You need to go to the Doctor ASAP!!! You are suppose to have at least 2 BMs a day..

Fiber is what is needed. You need 20- 30 Grams of fiber a day (minimum). Also take a fresh vitamin and mineral supplement with the full required theraputic dose. If you need help finding good fiber sources, or a good vitamin source just ask.

Your question isn't clear as to whether you want a regimen for preventing colon cancer and/or hemorrhoids, or you already have one or both of these. To prevent, you need to have an adequate intake of fiber to keep the stool soft, so that it moves through the bowel in a timely manner and so you don't have to strain when passing feces (the main cause of hemorrhoids). As well, there is a great deal of research concerning the kinds of foods that seem to reduce the risk of contracting colon cancer, and you need to do some research yourself on the Internet or elsewhere. Start by Googling or Yahooing "colon cancer prevention". You do NOT need to buy expensive supplements, by the way, so don't fall for that.If you already have hemorrhoids, Preparation H cream or suppositories would be a good start, along with an increased fiber intake. If you already have colon cancer, you should be taking steps to get it removed. If caught in time, it is one of the easiest forms of cancer to stop. Mine was caught at stage 2 (no lymph node involvement) and was removed - along with half my large intestine and several inches of small intestine. (Everything is working fine now.) At stage 1 or 2, chemotherapy is not usually needed, although regular blood tests and colonoscopies are needed for three years or so.
