Medical Weight Loss
Changing bowel habits is another feature associated with colorectal cancer generally. Meanwhile, cancers on the right can become larger without causing these obstructive symptoms. As stools are looser and the diameter larger. These patients are more likely to bleed chronically and develop iron deficiency anemia and present with paler fatigue, shortness of breath, lightheadedness and tachycardia. The symptoms from the sigmoid and rectal cancers tend to be noticed and investigated sooner. Also remember constitutional symptoms like unexplained fever, night sweats or unintentional weight loss.

Smoking Cessation
Did you know that controlling your weight is one of the most important ways to reduce your risk of cancer or cancer recurrence? And it is second only to smoking cessation.
Colonoscopy
Screening is normally done via fecal immunochemical testing, known as a FIT test ( https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000704.htm ), which includes fecal occult blood, looking for traces of blood in the stool, which may indicate cancer. This is done every two years from the age of 60 in the United Kingdom, and if positive, the patient will undergo a colonoscopy, a physical exam is done, including an abdominal and rectal examination.
Flu Shots
Anti-cancer vaccines are drugs that work on the principle of flu shots – to induce a rapid immune system response, the patient is injected with substances that are produced by cancer cells. The most common human papillomavirus vaccines can prevent the development of rectal cancer, cervical, throat, vulva, vaginal and penile malignancies.

Internal Medicine
Prof. Jörg Grjotike is the chief physician of the Department of Oncology at Nordic Clinic Alliance with more than 25 years of experience. The doctor specializes in immuno-, chemo- and targeted therapy. In 2007, he became a senior physician at the Center for Internal Medicine Bremen-Mitte.
Kidney Cancer
Colon Cancer
Colorectal cancer is more common in males than in females. Being overweight, being less active, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking are all also risk factors. Diets rich in processed and red meat or low in fiber and a history of adding a Mattis polyps ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34622875/ ) or inflammatory bowel disease increased the risk of colon cancer to most people diagnosed with colorectal cancer, do not have a family history of it. But having a relative who is affected does mean an increased risk. This is why screening takes place earlier at around 45 years of age or 10 years before the age which the family member was diagnosed.
Prostate Cancer
Lung Cancer
Colorectal cancer is currently the third most common cancer worldwide, and causes the second highest number of cancer related deaths behind lung cancer. It has a lifetime risk of around 1 in 15 and risk factors include older age, as over 90% are diagnosed over the age of 50, and 60% over the age of 70. However, there is a rising incidence in younger patients and the reason is not currently known.

Ultrasound
MRI
MRI-Fusion biopsy – a highly accurate method of detecting prostate cancer. During the procedure the doctor performs the sampling of tumor tissue from 30 points for further analysis under the MRI control. By comparison, in a traditional biopsy, the sample is taken from 12 points. This makes Fusion biopsy more informative for the oncologist.
Computed Tomography
However, the gold standard for diagnosis is colonoscopy and biopsy. This involves looking all the way up to the cecum To ensure full visualization, lab markers are used, such as a full blood count looking for anemia, cancer markers, in particular carcinoembryonic antigen, but CA 19-9 can also be monitored. A CT scan is used to look for metastasis and as part of staging. The most common system used is the TNM staging, which looks at where the primary tumor is infiltrating locally, lymph node metastasis, and the presence of distant metastasis.
Chemotherapy
Chemoembolization is the injection of chemo drugs into a tumor, followed by blockage of the vessels that feed it. This technique allows substances that destroy cancer cells to be delivered directly to the tumor. Because of this, chemotherapy acts in a more targeted and effective way without disrupting the body as a whole. Due to the blockage of blood vessels, blood and nutrients stop flowing to the tumor, so it does not grow and eventually dies out.
Radiation Therapy
According to the clinic, Anadolu Cancer Center is number 1 in Turkey and number 4 in Europe for the use of the latest radiation therapy systems: CyberKnife M6, Varian Edge and TrueBeam STx. These machines irradiate tumors with a precision of a few millimeters and have virtually no effect on surrounding healthy tissue.

Skin Cancer
Cytokines are protein molecules that stimulate the activity of the immune system and blood cells to fight cancer. They are prescribed for kidney tumors, metastatic melanoma, and, in some cases, to ease the side effects of chemotherapy.
Lesions
In nearly all cases, the colorectal cancer develops from polyps. The most common are hyperplastic inflammatory and adenomatous polyps. Hyperplastic and inflammatory types, however, do not have a risk of malignant transformation. While adding a Mattis polyps do superficial gastrointestinal lesions like polyps are divided by the Paris classification into polypoid and non polypoid, meaning raised flat, depressed or ulcerated. The closer the polyp gets to ulcerated, the higher the risk that there is deeper infiltration, and potential lymph node involvement.
