Colorectal cancer (Colon cancer) is a referred as the disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the colon or the rectum. The actions undertaken to curb the probability of suffering from cancer can be termed as the prevention strategies. In regards to the findings in this study, Colorectal Colorectal cancer was the most commonly diagonosed cancer(14.4%) for Korean American(KA) men and the second most commonly diagonised cancer (12.9) for Korean American women after breast cancer. (The North American Association of Central Cancer registries , 2006).
There are various effective means of preventing Colorectal Cancer (CRC). In this literature we will categorize them into two main groups i.e. the Primary and Secondary prevention

Another key strategy would be persuading the KAs smokers to watch their smoking levels; this should be as minimal as possible. However, the best alternative would be quitting.
For the secondary prevention strategies for CRC we have frequent genetic testing and frequent preventive treatment process, conducting regular procedures which aim at looking for cancer signs and symptoms. For patients with ulcerative colitis or hereditary colon cancer it would be encouraged to perform a colon removal surgery. According to KHEIR (Korean Health Education, Information, and Research Center), not all hormone replacement procedures helps in decreasing the risk of getting colorectal cancer and in any case it can lead to breast cancer issues, blood clots and heart diseases.
Based on credible sources, there are some prevention strategies which effects on reducing colorectal cancer are not clear. For instance taking vitamin and calcium supplements, minerals, using drugs that minimize the level of cholesterol in our bodies as well as using the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs except the aspirin.
In conclusion the research shows that more clinic trials have been established to find out new methods of preventing colorectal cancer and whether the already existing ways are effective or not. The colorectal cancer
The characters in the novels Romeo and Juliet, The Odyssey, and Persepolis all have one thing in common, fighting for people they love. Whether it is a family member or a lover, each character plays a role in doing anything they can to stay faithful. The heroes in each novel earned my respect because they stood strong in the face of adversity and fought for who they loved. In Romeo and Juliet, the star crossed lovers did everything they thought of to stay together. These two characters chose death over departure, thinking they would still be with one another in heaven if suicide needed to be attempted.
Buck is a strong dog with a furry coat to keep him warm. He thought he was the protector of the family and he acted like one. Buck lived 4 years at Judge Miller’s place. Buck was a fast learner because he learned hot to be a sled dog and how to survive like one. Bucks mother was a Scotch Shepherd dog and his father was a St. Bernard.
Lots of research has been done since the MSH2 gene was found in 1993. Now with advancements in technology researchers are finding more accurate and through ways of determining and analyzing the causes of colon cancer. Ever year more and more genes are being found that lead to the development of colon cancer. In 1997, researchers in Yeshiva University found another mis- match repair gene that leads to colon cancer. Researchers found a germline MSH6 mutation in a
Since cancer is a multifactor disease, there is not a specific cause for the development of it, and there is not a specific way of preventing it. However, since 30 to 40 % of cancers are influenced by diet, it make a lot of sense to follow diets are thought to be protective against cancer. Some of the characteristics of theses diets are:
Although obesity and diabetes are on the increase worldwide, based on the research developments discussed, the common bean (P. vulgaris) a-amylase inhibitor (a-AI1) has potential to serve as a widely used remedy against these conditions while there is need for research on its probable anti-colorectal cancer effect. (Obiro et al.,
Colon cancer is the cancer that occurs in the large intestine. Colon cancer is the third most common type of cancer diagnosed in both women and men in the United States. According to The American Cancer
Being spotted with colon rectal cancer is a nerve-wracking time for everyone. Colon rectal cancer befalls when there are malevolent cancer cells that develop and grow in the tissues of the colon. The colon is portion of human's digestive system. Having a healthy digestive system is imperative for ensuring our overall sense of welfare. It is the hub where wastes are removed quickly out of our body and it is accountable for processing and absorbing all the vital nutrients, vitamins, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, water and minerals. Not everyone falls into the high-risk group of patients who develop colon rectal cancer. Some individuals are more in jeopardy than the others. The factors consist of somebody who is at or over the age of fifty, somebody
There are approximately 200,000 to 3 million cases of colon cancer in the US each year; could Coffee be the answer to this illness? The Dana- Farber Institute in Boston, MA conducted the study. “Those who drank four or more cups of regular (not decaf) coffee per day saw the most benefit,” said Diane Stern, co-anchor of WBZ News. Cancer researchers located in Boston have discovered drinking coffee daily reduces the risk of colon cancer.
It is suggested that pro/pre/synbiotics suppress the DNA changes that lead to the development of colorectal cancer. This lower chance for the damage to DNA leads to a lower risk of going on to develop CRC. There are several potential mechanisms by which these substances can affect the development of CRC. These include the suppression of carcinogen formation, inactivation of the carcinogens themselves, stimulation of cell death, increased immune response, and stimulation of the production of protective enzymes.
Dyslipidemia is a pathological alteration of lipid and lipoprotein concentrations in the blood. It is one of the main elements of metabolic syndrome. Epidemiological studies have shown that persons with the metabolic syndrome have an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). One of the possible mechanisms is that lipids and lipoproteins have been found to be associated with neoplastic processes as well as inflammation, insulin resistance and oxidative stress. On the other side, some of the factors that influence lipid and lipoprotein concentration unfavorably (ie. smoking, obesity, a high fat and low fiber diet consumption) can contribute to the development of colon cancer as well. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between low HDL blood levels and colonic cancer.
Colon cancer is one of the most common cancer in the USA. According to study it is the third most common colon pathogenies in USA according American Cancer Society. The risk of exposing and developing colon cancer is very small and still the problem is very big. Every year several people lose their life due to the problem that could be fixed it got treatment in the early stage.
The diagnosis of cancer is a stressful life-altering event. There are many philosophies that arepresented to the public regarding foods that prevent, treat and cure cancer. Outlined below arethree (3) common cancer myths and actual facts to debunk those myths.In completing this task, persons were interviewed and the following are the three (3) most popular myths about cancer: Too much sugar causes cancer. There is a “superfood” which helps prevent cancer. An acidic diet causes cancer.After conducting my interviews, I sought scientific evidence to dispel these myths or back them up. According to [ CITATION Ame15 \l 1033 ], cancer is not just one disease. There aremany types of cancer. They continued by saying that cancer can start anywhere
There are many preventable diseases in existence; however, for one reason or another, the population is not taking advantage of the preventable measures to prevent these deadly diseases. For instance, colorectal cancer which is a preventable disease that has been recognized as a major health problem for people over 50 years of age. Colorectal cancer does not discriminate between race color or sex. It affects everyone, but not everyone is dying from the disease. Healthcare leaders need to be more involve in the prevention or early treatment of colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is foreseeable; moreover, it has been proven that early screening is an opportunity to save lives by preventing or catching the disease on time.
There are five ways that we can do to prevent colorectal cancer in our daily life. First, maintaining a healthy weight. There are at least 11 different cancer have been linked to weight gain and obesity. (siteman.wustl.edu) Second, do not smoke. Smoking can increase your chances to get cancer in addition to heart disease stroke and emphysema. (siteman.wustl.edu) Third, do more exercises. Being physically active lowers the risk of many serious diseases, including colon cancer. (siteman.wustl.edu) Forth, limit red meat or processed food. Eating steak or pork and bacon or sausage can increased the risk of colorectal cancer. (siteman.wustl.edu)Last but not least, get enough calcium and vitamin D. According to statistic, people who did not get enough vitamin D and calcium has a higher risk of colorectal cancer. (siteman.wustl.edu)
Self managed training is a when an individual plans, executes and evaluates his or her own learning. The learner is in control of when learning can happen, the duration and the learning experience or outcome. It is important to always review and adapt your training plan. It is unproductive to remain rigid with the plan, and allowing adaptations will improve its applicability and suitability to individual needs. On the job training is another way to self manage training as it allows the individual to apply what they have learnt to real life experience and develop their skill set by actively taking on tasks and duties within their
