According to Master, Doctor Ngo Tuan Phuc - Tam Anh General Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, rectal cancer is a common cancer of the digestive system, occurring when cells in the lining of the rectum grow out of control and form tumors.
Early stage rectal cancer often has no symptoms. Warning signs of rectal cancer include blood in the stool, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, and weakness.
Patients may also experience abdominal pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, or abdominal masses that gradually enlarge.
Dr. Phuc said that the signs of rectal cancer are often easily confused with other diseases. Therefore, rectal cancer often makes people worry. However, if this disease is detected early and treated promptly, the cure rate is quite high.
Colon cancer cannot be completely prevented, but there are some ways to reduce the risk, including maintaining a healthy weight. Exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes a day.
Avoid processed meats. Also, eat a balanced diet that includes protein, whole grains, and plenty of vegetables. Avoid alcohol and don't smoke.
In addition, regular colorectal cancer screening is very important to help reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer. This method helps patients detect precancerous polyps and treat them promptly.
