Today, Friday the 5th, at 9:55 p.m., EBS <명의> In the ‘Treat a clogged colon’ episode, we learn in detail about colon health, from colon cancer to malignant constipation, with three doctors.
Korea’s incidence rate of colon cancer in 2040 is the highest in the world, and colon cancer is the second largest cancer type in the country, and the number of patients is increasing. The incidence of constipation is also increasing, but many patients hide it or neglect it, so accurate treatment is not provided. Colonoscopy, the most reliable way to check colon health, should be performed around the age of 50, but many people do not undergo it because it is inconvenient. Is our colon health okay as it is? Let’s learn more about how we can protect our colon health to protect our daily lives and lives.
Active prevention of colon cancer! Remove polyps!
A healthy daily life starts with good food, good sleep, and good stool. If even one of these things is not done properly, a crack will appear in your peaceful daily life.
A woman who underwent a colonoscopy for the first time in her life two years ago in her mid-60s. At that time, a 1cm-sized serpentine polyp was growing in her colon. The flat serrated polyp progressed quickly, so there was a high possibility that it would develop into colon cancer within 5 years, and fortunately, it was removed as soon as it was discovered.
She recently visited the hospital again for a colonoscopy. What is her colon health like? Polyps are called the seeds of colon cancer! How quickly and how do polyps develop into cancer? Let’s answer your questions about polyps and colon cancer with gastroenterology professor Kwon Gwang-an.
A patient who underwent surgery for colon cancer and lung cancer, how is his health now?
Another woman who had her first colonoscopy two years ago in her late 60s. At her first test, she was diagnosed with colon cancer. She said she had no other symptoms other than the sudden onset of constipation. She had colon cancer blocking her lumen, making a colonoscopy impossible. Regarding her test results, a multidisciplinary treatment session was held in which professors from as many as six departments gathered together to discuss treatment methods. Because colon cancer and lung cancer were discovered, and it was not clear whether the colon cancer had metastasized to the lungs or whether the cancer originated in the lungs, it was predicted that the patient had stage 3 or 4 colon cancer.
She underwent surgery to remove her colon. How is she doing now that it’s been 2 years? What efforts should we make to prevent colon cancer in our daily lives, and what are the prevention methods for colon cancer that are unanimously mentioned by many leading universities and institutions around the world? Learn about the treatment and prevention of colon cancer with Professor Baek Jeong-heum of Colorectal Surgery.
Constipation has many causes? How is it treated?
Some people suffer from constipation for a long time without knowing the exact cause. A woman in her mid-60s who had suffered from chronic constipation since her 40s went to the hospital after not being able to defecate for a month at a time. To find the exact cause of constipation, I underwent various functional tests, including defecography, anal electromyography, and colon transit time testing.
It is important to find the exact cause of constipation, and determine a treatment method accordingly. What is the cause of her chronic constipation, and what treatment will she receive? We take a closer look at the accurate diagnosis and treatment of malignant constipation with Professor Lee Tae-hee of the Department of Gastroenterology.
