Early detection through the screening process is a necessary step for the treatment of this potentially fatal disease. Most people are asked to begin a year of faecal occult blood and colonoscopy every 10 years after the age of 50 years, but genetic screening before the search for mutations in glycosylation enzymes that we humans are predisposed to know whether this type of cancer can be.
With colon cancer treatment, the first stage, Stage 0, is located at the epithelial lining of the colon. Here the doctors that the abnormal cells are mobilized, but not too adult cancer. To cope with this stage is that doctors perform a polypectomy, which is to eliminate a local excision of the tumor and surrounding tissue. This treatment is usually developed as a cure and often without any further problems, if diagnosed early, during the screening test for cancer of the colon-rectum. In Phase I, the cancer has applied over the innermost layer of the second and third layers, and the inner wall of the colon. According to the latest data from the National Cancer Institute (1991 to 2000), there is a rate of 93% survival for patients with stage I colon cancer.
