Colon cancer patients vulnerable to other types of cancer pain - Patients with colon cancer who survived are known to have a high risk for developing other cancers, says a new study. The results obtained Researchers from the University of Washington in Seattle.
The results of this study might help doctors to monitor and prevent the development of other cancers in patients who survived colon cancer, says researcher Amanda Phipps, as reported by U.S. News.
This study analyzed data from 12 cases of cancer in patients diagnosed with colon cancer between 1992 and 2009. As a result, the study found that patients who survived colon cancer have a risk of developing another cancer 15 percent higher than people in general.
The high risk for cancer in patients who have a particular area of the colon. Patients who have cancer in the transverse colon area has a 30 percent higher risk of developing other types of cancer, and colon cancer again.
The study, published online in the journal Cancer was also found that patients who survived colon cancer have a higher risk of small intestine cancer. In the long term, researchers hope these findings can be useful to build a strategy for cancer prevention in the former colon cancer patients.
