how many types of surgery are there for the treatment of colorectal cancer?
478215
There are many different types of surgery and different names for the operations. However the two main procedures are:\npartial removal of the large bowel with rejoining of the two ends of bowel so that bowel function is normal\n\npartial removal of the large bowel without rejoining of the two ends of bowel. This leaves a stoma (opening) on the abdominal wall that is fitted with a bag to collect waste and the lower end of the bowel is just sewn over leaving a stump at the rectum. This sort of operation is sometimes done initially and then the two ends are rejoined at a later date.\n\nHope this helps!

There are over 100 cures.\n\nI have always believed that the mainstream medical industry is not interested in finding a cure for cancer because it makes too much profit with its present barbarous methods.\nEventually, I came across a detailed report which agreed with my findings, and I have included it in my web page at\n\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/cancer.html\n\nBy reading this report, you will also convince yourself that it is best to ignore the mainstream cancer industry, and seek alternative cures. Also you should bear in mind that the medical industry will do anything to protect its profitable position, including disparaging alternative healers or even creating bogus court cases.\n\nI believe that cancer is a whole body thing, which in 80 percent of cases manifests itself by producing symptoms in the weaker parts of the body, and therefore appearing localised. It is this treatment of symptoms instead of cause which creates the profitable, yet non-successful approach of mainstream medicine.\n\nSome cures are listed on the web page too.\n\nIt is therefore obvious that a holistic approach is required, based on cleansing, diet, exercise and debugging.

At least 8 if you count only in-patient ones (not out-patient walk-ins). I am talking about main Tomsk, not Seversk (a.k.a. Tomsk-7). The following list includes most of them, except for specialized ones, like oncology:\nhttp://www.yellowpages-spb.ru/rus/nd16888/qu5/ru15222/po1

Growths in the ovaries/tubes etc. [Maybe need a hysterectomy], or something in the colon-  always get more than one Drs. opinion for serious surgeries. My husband would have been wearing a bag on his side the rest of his life if we hadn't had a second opion[ from a Dr. at Cleveland Clinic.]  He is good today.

I suggest having a talk with a few doctors about this.  It is always good to get a second and sometimes a third opinion regarding matters such as these.  I don't know much about cancer, but I feel for you having such a large decision to make at such a young age.  DO the research on survival rates after both types of surgery, talk to a few doctors, and go with your gut decision.  Good luck.

What do you mean? Are you talking about statistics  or about new treatment options for cancer?\n\nWith over 200 different types of cancer, stages and grades of tumor . . .  the question is a little vague.

At my hospital, the 4 most common surgical cases are... colonoscopy, c-section, cataract surgery, and laproscopic procedures(such as gallbladder removal).

From what I have found (which wasn't much) it seems to be a surgical procedure.  I will add the sites I have looked at but the are very technical and aimed at surgeons.\nI hope they will be of some help to you.

Colon cancer is cancer which starts in the digestive, or gastrointestinal (GI) system. A colon's primary responsibility is to process food into energy and remove all waste materials. As with any cancer, the disease begins when cancerous cells begin to grow out of control compared to normal, non-cancer cells. Every cancer is different depending on where it occurs, so colon cancer will generally progress at a different rate, cause different symptoms, and respond to different medical treatments. Most of the time, colon cancer spreads slowly over a period of years, and colon cancer can effect any section or layer of your colon. \n\nThe key to have a good prognosis with colon cancer is to catch the disease early. If a doctor can find and remove a colon cancer polyp in the early stages, then there is a much better chance of recovery. Colorectal cancer (affecting the colon or rectum) is the third most common cancer found in Americans with over 100,000 cases of colon cancer expected this year. Risk factors of colon cancer include age, family history, smoking, ethnicity, diet, lack of excercise, alcohol, and history of other bowel disease. If you are in an at-risk category, then it is important to get a colon cancer screening test. If you are unsure with you fit the profile, talk to ask primary physician first.

You really need to talk to your surgeon if you are having post-operative problems.  You should also talk to your oncologist about your prognosis.

Colon cancer is the third most common type of cancer in the US, and the second leading cause of cancer death.  Colon cancer claims the lives of 50,000 men and women a year.  \n\nThere is a graph showing survival rates for the different stages of colon cancer (for example, cancer has not penetrated the bowel-cancer found early to cancer has spread to other organs-advanced colon cancer) here:  http://www.mc.uky.edu/RuralHealth/LayHealth/colocancer.pdf#search='colon%20cancer%20rates'

Colonic treatment is NOT Dr. recommended. It is a scam, and its usefullness is a myth. A basic understanding of the human digestive system is lacking in those who throw their money away by going to the charlatans who perform high priced enemas.
