When faced with the uncertainty of cancer, it’s human nature to learn as much as we can about it and try to figure out how it’s all going to play out. Of course we can’t really know, but that’s not the point. We just need something to grab on to. Something that gives us some general idea of where this bus is headed. So, here you are.
The purpose of the colon cancer survival rates presented here is to help settle your mind, to give you a number. It’s important to remember that the colon cancer survival rates presented here are generalizations and your individual chances of survival may be quite different.
According to the same study, colon cancer survival rates also vary by country. While the overall five-year survival for colon cancer in America is 62%, it’s 43% in Europe. Quality of care may be one reason, but another could be colon cancer screening programs. In general, the earlier colon cancer is detected, the easier it is to treat.
Stage at diagnosis also greatly impacts colon cancer survival rates. Research published in the ANZ Journal of Surgery found that In Australia, the five-year survival for stage 1 colon cancer is 93%, but it drops to 59% for stage 3 colon cancer.

Green tea comes from the plant Camellia sinensis. Dried leaves of Camellia sinensis plant are infused with hot water to produce green tea. Green tea is brewed and drunk as a beverage, which has many potential health benefits, including preventing and combating cancer. Epidemiologic observations show that antioxidants in green tea, notably EGCG, or epigallocatevhin-3-gallate, appear to significantly lower the risk of developing colon cancer, according to Herbal Safety.
Flax seed is yellow or brown colored seed or fruit of the flax plant, which is widely cultivated for its oil-rich proteinaceous seeds. Whole flax seed needs to be ground so that health promoting nutrients and compounds, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, phytonutrients lignan and alpha-linolenic acid, a type of omega-3 fatty acid, can be utilized by the human digestive tract. The high lignan content of flax seed is thought to play a role in fighting against various human cancers, including colon cancer, according to South Dakota State University website.

If your cancer is small, localized in a polyp and in a very early stage, your doctor may be able to remove it completely during a colonoscopy. If the pathologist determines that the cancer in the polyp doesn’t involve the base — where the polyp is attached to the bowel wall — then there’s a good chance that the cancer has been completely eliminated.
If your colon cancer has grown into or through your colon, your surgeon may recommend a partial colectomy to remove the part of your colon that contains the cancer, along with a margin of normal tissue on either side of the cancer. Nearby lymph nodes are usually also removed and tested for cancer.
If your cancer is very advanced or your overall health very poor, your surgeon may recommend an operation to relieve a blockage of your colon or other conditions in order to improve your symptoms. This surgery isn’t done to cure cancer, but instead to relieve signs and symptoms, such as bleeding and pain.

Diet for Colon Cancer Patients

August 2nd, 2011

Getting enough calories to keep up your strength is just one aspect of a colon cancer diet. It is especially important to eat as healthy a diet as possible to boost your immune system and to deal with possible nutritional deficiencies. Cancer treatment may decrease your appetite, lower your ability to digest food and interfere with your body’s ability to absorb and use nutrients. null
Ways to improve colon cancer nutrition during treatment include:

* Eating many small, nutritious meals
* Drinking fluids after you eat, not during
* Eating and drinking fortified foods and shakes when necessary

Many people take vitamin and mineral supplements. But antioxidants such as vitamins C and E can interfere with chemotherapy’s ability to kill cancer cells. A dietitian can determine how to balance cancer and nutrition, and tell you what supplements are good to take. Fats and protein are important in a colon cancer diet:

* Good fats are very important. These include olive oil and omega-3 oils including flax seed oil and fish oil.
* Avoid processed fats and oils, such as Trans and hydrogenated fats in margarines and fats used for baking.
* Your body may be better able to tolerate fish and chicken and less able to digest red meat.
* If you do eat meat, try to buy grass-fed or free-range. Stay away from highly processed meats, especially those that include nitrites and nitrates.
