Bowel cancer

Bowel cancer also known as colorectal cancer, is defined as a condition of

the abnormal proliferation of cells in the colon, rectum, or vermiform

appendix. Bowl is divided in 2 parts, the first part of the bowel, the small

bowl, is involved with the digestion and absorption of food. The 2nd part,

the large bowel which consist the the colon and rectum, is involved in


2/21

absorption of water from the small bowel contents and broken down of

certain materials in the feces into substances of which some of them to be re

absorbed and reused by the body. Bowel cancer is relatively very common

and slowly growing and progress cancer and in predictable way.

Bowel cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in developed

countries, including U>S and Canada.

Types of bowel cancer

1. Adenocarcinomas

Most bowel cancers are adenocarcinomas, originated in epithelium tissues,

including the surface layer of skin, glands and their tissues that line the

cavities and organs of the body.

2. Squamous cell cancers

Squamous cells are the skin like cells that make up the bowel lining togetherwith the gland cells. Squamous cell cancers are rare with the risk of 25 per

100000.

Other bowel tumours

3. Carcinoid

Carcinoid is an unusual type of slow growth neuroendocrine tumor. It looks

benign but might spread to other parts of the body as they grow in hormone

producing tissue in the digestive system.

4. Leiomyosarcomas

Leiomyosarcomas are the rare and resistant types of bowel cancer and

generally not very responsive to chemotherapy or radiation. They are

malignant abnormal mass of tissue of smooth muscles of colon, comprising

between 510% of soft tissue sarcomas.

5. Lymphomas

Bowel lymphomas are rare and more likely to start in the rectum rather in

the colon. Many patients with lymphomas are diagnosed in the late stage and

already spread to other organs.

6. Melanomas

Melanomas are rare malignant tumor of cells that produce the dark pigment.

This type of bowel cancer usually originates from somewhere else and then

spread to the bowel.

12. Unintentional weight loss13. Loss of appetite

14. Unexplained fatigue

15. Nausea or vomiting

16. Anemia

17. Jaundice

18. Etc.

Causes and Risk factors

1. Age

The disease is more common in people over the age of 50 and increase with

age. Regular colonoscopy after age of 50 is valuable to detect the disease in

the early stage and decrease the risk of development of bowel cancer.

2. Bowl inflammatory diseases

Prolonged period of inflammatory diseases of the colon, such as Ulcerative

Colitis and Crohns Disease, can increase your risk of colon cancer due to

long term inflammation of the lining of the colon.

3. Family History of Bowel CancerIf a patient's parents, siblings, children who has had colorectal cancer are

more likely to develop bowel cancer.

4. Inherited Syndromes

Genetic syndromes passed through generations can increase the risk of

developing colon cancer.


4/21

a. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP):

Familial adenomatous polyposisis an inherited condition in which numbers

of benign polyp form mainly in the lining of the large intestine, but they can

become malignant due to the mutations in the APC gene that a patient

inherits from the parents.

b. Hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC)

HNPCC is also known as Lynch syndrome. It can increase the risk of

developing bowel cancer than the general population due to mutation of

genes in repairing DNA damage.

c. Turcot syndrome

Turcot syndrome is also a rare inherited condition in which cells become

abnormal and form multiple adenomatous colon polyps anf eventually turn

malignant.

d. Peutz-Jeghers syndrome

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disease withcondition of the development of benign hamartomatous polyps in the

gastrointestinal tract and hyperpigmented macules on the lips and oral

mucosa due to mutations in the gene STK1.

e. MUTYH-associated polyposis

MUTYH is a human gene encoding a DNA glycosylase. Mutations in the

gene MUTYH increases the risk of develop colon polyps which eventually

become cancerous if the colon is not removed.

5. Race and ethic background

a, African Americans have the highest risk of bowel cancer with unknown

reasons (E. Mitchell, et al., 2009)

b. Ashkenazi Jews have a highest risk of development of bowel cancer due

to several genes mutation (I. Shapira et al., 2002; DS. Weinberg et al., 2006)

6. Personal history of other cancer

Research shows that the risk of developing bowel cancer is increased for

women with history of other cancer such as ovarian, uterine, endometrial or

breast cancer.

7. Diet

Diet with high in animal and trans fat and less in fiber, vegetables and fruits

is associated with high risk if bowel cancer. Cooking meats at very high

temperatures such as frying, broiling or grilling create chemicals that

increases the risk of bowel and other cancer.


5/21

8. Physical Inactivity

Researchers in Utah and northern California at the Kaiser Permanente

Medical Care Program between 1997 and 2002 found that vigorous or

moderated physical activity reduced the risk of bowel cancer in both men

and women.

9. Diabetes

Abnormal glucose metabolism increases the risk of bowel cancer. Research

from Cancer Research UK and the Medical Research Council studied 9600

participants. at the American Association for Cancer Research's Sixth

Annual International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention

Research found that women with diabetes are 1.5 times more likely to

develop bowel cancer than women who don't have the metabolic disorder.

10. ObesityThe George Institute for International Health in Sydney, Australia report

showed that obese individuals (Body Mass Index* (BMI) >30 kg/m2) have a

20% greater risk of developing colorectal cancer compared with those of

normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m2) and people who are obese have an

increased risk of bowel cancer and an increased risk of dying of bowel

cancer when compared with people considered normal weight.

11. Smoking

Long-term cigarette smoking increases a person's risk of developing bowel

cancer due to the effect of carcinogens and development of polyps which

can become malignant.

12. Alcohol

A study by Dr. Morten Gronbaek of the National Institute of Public Health

in Copenhagen, has found that heavy drinkers (especially non-wine drinkers)

significantly increase their risk of contracting rectal cancer.The findings are

based on a population study of over 29,000 Danish men and women aged

between 23 and 95.

13. Acromegaly

Acromegaly is an endocrine disorder characterized by sustained

hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) with concomitant elevation of

insulin-like growth factor (IGF) may increase your risk of colon polyps and

bowel cancer.


6/21

14. Nigh shift work

Study that exposures to light at night suppresses the production of

melatonin, a hormone that has antiproliferative effects on intestinal cancers.

The result also suggested that working a rotating night shift at least three

nights per month for 15 or more years may increase the risk of bowel cancer

in women.

15. Previous Radiation Therapy for Certain Cancers

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, colon

cancer has been caused by doses of about 1,000 millisieverts (mSv).

16. Gender

According to Heinz-Josef Lenz, M.D., professor of medicine at USC's Keck

School of Medicine There has been increasing evidence that gender plays a

significant role in the development and progression of bowel cancer arehigher among men due to protective effect of female hormones.

17. Etc.

Diagnosis and tests

Since bowel cancer is considered as one of most slow growth cancer and

most of the discoveries are in the late stage and older than 50 years of age,

implement bowel cancer screening methods can detect the cancer in its early

stage resulting in a 29 percent drop in cancer deaths in 20 years.

1. Digital rectal exam

It is an internal examination of the rectum. The exam taken about a few

minutes by first examining the external area (anus and perinium) for any

abnormalities such as hemorrhoids, lumps, etc. Then, as the patient strains

down, the physician gently puts a lubricated, gloved finger into the rectum

through the anus and palpates the insides to check for large lumps for

approximately sixty seconds.

2. Fecal occult blood test (FOBT)

It is the test to check for invisible blood in the stool. you are asked to eat redmeats for a week to look for globin, DNA, or other blood factors including

transferrin with the purpose is to detect subtle blood loss in the

gastrointestinal tract.

3. Endoscopy

An endoscope is an instrument used by your doctor to pass through a natural


7/21

opening of the body or by a small incision. Depending to the circumstance,

you doctor may refer either the rectum Sigmoidoscopy or whole colon

Colonoscopy.

a. Sigmoidoscopy

Sigmoidoscopy is a test to exam the large intestine from the rectum through

the last part of the colon by either using a flexible endoscope (flexible

sigmoidoscopy) or a rigid device (rigid sigmoidoscopy) to look for benign

and malignant polyps, early signs of cancer in the descending colon and

rectum, as well as any intestinal bleeding, inflammation, abnormal growths,

etc.

b. Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is a whole bowel examination to detect inflamed tissue, ulcers,

and abnormal growths, benign and malignant polyps, early signs of cancer.

4. Double contrast barium enema (DCBE)DCBE is a x-rays of the colon and rectum after injecting a liquid containing

barium into the rectum to screen for bowel cancer and abnormalities. If there

is any suspicious, your doctor may order a screening test such as a

colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy that we mentioned above.

5. Barium Enema

The exam, most of the time performs in the out patient in hospital and in the

doctor office, you will be asked to move into different positions to get

different views. Barium enema is the use of barium to highlight your large

intestine and delivers air into the colon to expand it for better image as x-ray

is taken.

6. CT Colonography scan and/or liver scan

a. CT colonography scan

With the same purpose, CT colonography scan is to screen for polyps or

cancers in the large intestine by taking the cross-sectional images of bowel

then be examined on a computer monitor, printed or transferred to a CD.

b. Liver scan

Liver scan is the test to gather information about liver and spleen function orused to help confirm that the tumor has spread with injecting a radioactive

material called a radioisotope into one of your veins. After the liver has

soaked up the material, under the scanner images are displaying on a

computer.

7. Caricinoeembroyic antigen (CEA)


8/21

Caricinoeembroyic antigen (CEA) is a type of protein molecule found in

many different cells of the body. CEA measurement is mainly used as a

tumor marker to detect any recurrences after surgical resection, or localize

cancer spread though dosage of biological fluids.

8. Etc.

Treatments

Treatments are depended totally in the stage and grade of the cancer of each

patient. If the cancer is only limited to the mucosa such as a single layer of

epithelial cells, a layer of connective tissue, and a thin muscle layer, than it

can be cured in most cases. If the cancer have spread through the muscular

layer of the bowel or the lymph note, the curable rate is lower. If the cancer

has spread to other organs, the curable rate are even lower. Grade of the

cancer is calculated dependently to how aggressive the cancer is.1. Surgery and colostomy

a. Surgery

Types of surgery is depending to the stage, grade and position of the tumor

needed to remove, and surgery with complete removal of the cancer offers

the best chance to cure the disease.

b. colostomies

A colostomy is surgery to prevent the leakage of bowel content by diverting

them away from the weaken part of bowel to prevent damage and infection

after surgery to allow them to heal properly because of damage of bowel due

to tumor removals to provide an alternative channel for feces to leave the

body. After the weaken parts of bowel is recovered, further surgery is

required to reconnect the bowel and close the colostomy.

Unfortunately, if the tumor is very close to the anus, bowel can not

reconnected safely or in the late stage of the cancer, a permanent colostomy

is required and small bowel is diverted to the surface.

2. Radiotherapy

2.1. Radiotherapy is the medical use of ionizing radiation to treat cancer by

destroying the cancer cells but doing as little harm as possible to normal

cells, if cancer happens to the place where surgery is impossible. In fact,radiotherapy has a minimum effect in treating bowel cancer.

2.2. Side effects

a. Diarrhea

b. Tiredness,

c. Frequent urinary

d. Sore skin in the treatment area


9/21

5. Etc.

3. Chemotherapy

3.1. Chemotherapy, in bowel cancer used to stop the spreading of the cancer

cells and is most helpful treatment for bowel cancer with moderate advance

such as bowel cancer has only spread to bowel wall or to the lymph note

with combination of some medications, such as 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin,

and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) with bevacizumab or 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin,

and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) with bevacizumab, etc.

Most common Types of Cancer - Bone Cancer In Traditional Chinese

Perspective

Bones cancer

Bones cancer is defined as a health condition of abnormal cells growth of the


10/21

bone, including marrow, endosteum and periosteum, nerves, blood vessels

and cartilage due to alternation of DNA in division and replication the bone

malignant bone cells. It can be primary or secondary cancers.

1. Anaemia,

2. Lack of power

3. Nutrients deficiency, stabbing

4. Pain in the affect area

5. Lumps

6. Skin is dark red color

7. Broken bone or deformity

8.Weight loss

9. Loss of appetite

10. Fever11. Numb in the affect area

12. Etc.

Causes

1. Kidney essence deficiency

In traditional Chinese medicine, The Kidney essence or Jing is the vital life

force of the human body and of many of its functional activities in the

development of Blood, spinal fluid, bone marrow, teeth and bones.

Kidney essence consists of two parts:

a. Congenital (Prenatal Jing)

As it is inherited from you parent and

b. Acquired (Postnatal Jing)

As it is transformed from the food nutrients by the spleen and stomach.

Deficiency of kidney essence or Jing leads to abnormal growth of the above.

2. Bone marrow void

Since kidney is responsible in nourishing the bone marrow to perform its

function in producing of new blood cells and assisting lymphatic system to

prevent the back flow of lymph. Deficiency of kidney essence causeabnormal bone marrow that leads to abnormal blood cell and fluid retention

and stagnation, causing cancer

3. Damp heat and toxin accumulation

As the kidney no longer perform its function in transporting fluid, leading to

water retention. Over prolonged period of time, it transforms to phlegm,


11/21

leading to cancer.

Since kidney is one of defensive system in protect our body against toxins,

deficiency of kidney essence causes accumulation of the toxins. Over

prolonged period of toxins in the bone, it can lead to bone cancer.

4. Etc.

Treatments

Treatment in The traditional Chinese medicine is to nourish kidney

deficiency essence, remove and clear away toxin, damp heat, smooth

circulation to dissolve cancer and tumor. Since each formula is unique to

each patient, depending to the observation and diagnosis.
