Colorectal Cancer, Childhood

Introduction to Colorectal cancer:

Colorectal cancer also known as colon cancer, bowel cancer or Colon cancer is like any other cancer i.e. a growth, tumor or lump of the colon and the rectum. Cancer which begins in the colon is called colon cancer, and cancer which begins in rectum is called as a rectum cancer. Cancer which begins in either of these organs is called as colorectal cancer. A colorectal cancer may be benign or malignant. Benign means the tumor will not spread while a malignant tumor consists of cells which spread to other parts of the body and damage them.

According to the World Health Organization, colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide, after lung cancer. The American Cancer Society Suggests that 1 in 20 people in the US will develop colorectal cancer during their lifetime, with the risk being slightly higher in men than women. Due to advances in the screening techniques and improvements in treatments, the death rate from colorectal cancer has been dropping for over 20 years.

The Colon and Rectum

The colon and rectum belong to our body’s digestive system- together they are also known as the large bowel. The colon reabsorbs large quantities of water and nutrients from the undigested food products as they pass along it. The rectum is at the end of the colon and stores faeces (stools, waste material) before being expelled from the body.

Types of Cancer in the Colon & Rectum

Adenocarcinomas make up more than 95% of the colorectal cancers. These cancers start in the cells which make the mucus to lubricate the inside of the colon and the rectum. Some subtypes of it such as signet ring and mucinous may have worse prognosis.

Other less common types of tumors which start in the colon and rectum include:

Carcinoid Tumors start from the specialized hormone-making cells in the intestine.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) begin from specialized cells in the walls of the colon called the interstitial cells of Cajal. Some are benign and these tumors can be found anywhere in the digestive tract, but are not common in the colon.

Sarcomas start in the blood vessels, muscle layers or other connective tissues in the wall of the colon and rectum. Sarcomas of the colon and rectum are rare.

Lymphomas are cancers of the immune system cells which typically start in the lymph nodes, but they can also start in the colon, rectum or other organs.
