| Cancer is a medical condition that is becoming all too common and involving thousands of people. There are lots of distinct types of cancer. Some of the more common types include; breast cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer. Out of these, colon cancer - referred to as colorectal cancer - is the most average. According to health stats 1 out of 17 people that live in the United States solely will be treated for colon cancer. It has been rated the third most average cancer that men will be diagnosed with. What makes colon cancer so lethal is how tough it is for doctors to diagnose it in an early stages. There are many distinct types of colon cancer that will affect a person in different ways. Some are more severe than other types and if they are not spotted early there is no hopeful treatment for the patient. Adenocarcinomas This type is the most popular type of colon cancer that will start out in a patient's glands. This type has two different subtypes that are; signet ring cell and mutinous. 90 - 95% of people who are treated for colon cancer will have the adenocarcinomas type. Leiomyosarcomas This type of colon cancer will begin within the smooth muscle that is in the colon. Less than 2% of individuals who are diagnosed with colon cancer will be diagnosed with this type. They also have an increased chance of recovery. Lymphomas Lymphomas is a rare type that normally forms in the rectum before moving around to the colon. It is feasible for them to form in other sections of the body. When this occurs the cancer has a greater risk of circulating to the colon before moving to the rectum at a faster pace. Melanomas This is also a rare type of colon cancer that will commonly form in a contrasting area of a person’s body before it spreads to the colon and the rectum. Not even 2% of people diagnosed with colon cancer will suffer from this medical condition. Neuroendocrine Tumors These neoplasms have been split into two classifications; indolent and aggressive. The aggressive type are neuroendocrine tumors that can be large or small cell. Carcinoid tumors are indolent. |
