4 out of a 100 Indians run the risk of being afflicted with colorectal cancer in their lifetime. The good news is that advancements in medical science now ensure that if detected at an early stage, the ailment is completely curable. Naturally, early detection is the key. However, the incidence of those neglecting the symptoms-primarily the passing of blood with stool or rectal bleeding-is still unacceptably high in India. Under the circumstances, it is strongly recommended that proper medical opinion is sought immediately. Clinical investigation and proper procedures have proven efficacies, and one cannot over emphasise the need for the same.
There is no specific age for the incidence of colorectal cancer, and though it typically affects older adults, even relatively young adults are often at risk. The cancer usually manifests as small clumps of cells, or polyps, which may turn cancerous if left untreated for long.
Traditional treatments for colorectal cancer include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. However, colorectal laparoscopic surgery has now become the gold standard of procedures for several reasons-not only is it the most effective, proven interventional measure, but it is also extremely patient-friendly in terms of recovery time and costs involved, as the size of the incision is minimal compared to traditional surgery. Colorectal laparoscopic surgery facilitates the necessary parallel treatments and interventions such as targeted therapy or immunotherapy as may be required in specific cases.
