Colorectal cancer in recent years in high incidence, the trend of younger age.
The author in the first half of this year in the outpatient found a total of 47 colorectal cancer patients, including 18 under the age of 50, accounting for 38%, the youngest only 26 years old, is a fresh graduate of college students.
So, pay attention to colon cancer, understand colon cancer, not only in the elderly, young people also pay attention to it.
Today we’re going to focus on familial aggregation of colorectal cancer.
What is familial aggregation? In short, if a person has colorectal cancer, his or her direct blood relatives are much more likely to develop the cancer than the general population.
A 36-year-old woman surnamed Chen recently went to the hospital for a colonoscopy because she felt sick to her stomach. The colonoscopy revealed that she had an early stage of colon cancer. We performed minimally invasive radical surgery under endoscope for her, and the postoperative recovery effect was very good. About a week later, Ms. Chen was discharged from hospital successfully.
Given that colon cancer runs in families, the risk of developing cancer in the immediate family is much higher than in the general population, so it is recommended that their immediate family members be screened for colonoscopy just in case.
After hearing the doctor’s mission, Ms. Chen immediately mobilized the whole family to go to the hospital for gastroenteroscopy. Sure enough, Ms. Chen’s mother was also found to have advanced rectal cancer, while her mother did not have any symptoms.
About a quarter of newly diagnosed patients have a family history of colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer itself is not hereditary disease, but there is a certain heritability. Familial aggregation occurs in about 20-25% of colorectal cancers.
In other words, if a family member has bowel cancer, it doesn’t necessarily mean that a child will get it, but they are more likely to get it in the same environment than the rest of the population.
It can be simply understood as:
There are a part of genetic factors, there are also a lot of non-genetic factors, such as diet, obesity, living habits and so on in the occurrence of colorectal cancer also played an important role.
Studies have shown that if a person with colorectal cancer is found in a family, the incidence of colorectal cancer is approximately two to three times higher than in the general population if the person is related by blood (parents, children, siblings).
The risk of colorectal cancer is higher if two or more close relatives (parents or siblings) have the disease. Especially young colorectal cancer patients, it is more closely related to genetic factors, his immediate family members of colorectal cancer incidence rate is higher.
Research shows that if someone’s level of family members, the causes of colon cancer, such as parents had colorectal cancer, his disease risk in life is 8 times higher than the general population if one of your immediate family members (parents, siblings or children) bowel cancer at the age of less than 50, or in the patriarchal family or more than two people in the maternal family and risk of colorectal cancer, then you even have a family history of colorectal cancer.
Relatives of people with non-polyp inherited colorectal cancer, such as Lynch syndrome, are more likely to develop the disease and their children are younger.
Colorectal cancer is the easiest cancer to prevent, if suffering from too much injustice!
Suffer from bowel cancer, it is the person of the most wrong! Why is that?
About 95 percent of colorectal cancers develop from these small polyps, which usually take five to 10 or even 20 years to develop.
Just before it goes bad, we do a colonoscopy, find it, remove it, and monitor it regularly, so it never stands a chance of going bad!
General large intestine cancer good hair after 50 years old, so, you must catch before it becomes bad find it, kill it!
Very simple, from polyp to bowel cancer, in fact separated the distance of a colonoscope!
summary
According to China’s national conditions, there are the following 1 or more than 1 high-risk people: to do colonoscopy in a timely manner!
- First-degree relatives with a history of colorectal cancer;
- I have a history of cancer;
- I have a history of intestinal polyps;
- Having two or more of the following at the same time:
1, chronic constipation (over 2 months of constipation every year in recent 2 years);
(2) Chronic diarrhea (diarrhea lasting for more than 3 months each year in the past 2 years, with each episode lasting more than 1 week);
(3) Mucus blood stool;
(4) Adverse life histories (occurred in the last 20 years, which caused greater mental trauma or pain to the respondents).
