Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and women in the United States, and in 2005, an estimated 104,950 new cases of colon cancer will occur. Despite these statistics, mortality from colon cancer has decreased over the past 30 years, possibly because of earlier diagnosis through screening and better treatment modalities. The NCCN guidelines summarize the management of colon cancer, from disease presentation through management of recurrent disease and patient surveillance.

Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and women in the United States. An estimated 112,340 new cases of colon cancer will occur in 2007 and an estimated 52,180 people will die from colon and rectal cancer in the same year. Despite these statistics, mortality from colon cancer has decreased over the past 30 years, possibly because of earlier diagnosis through screening and better treatment modalities. These guidelines begin with the clinical presentation of the patient to the primary care physician or gastroenterologist and address diagnosis, pathologic staging, surgical management, adjuvant treatment, management of recurrent and metastatic disease, and patient surveillance.

Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and women in the United States, and in 2002, an estimated 107,300 new cases of colon cancer will have occurred. Despite these statistics, mortality from colon cancer has decreased over the past 30 years, possibly because of earlier diagnosis through screening and better treatment modalities. The NCCN clinical practice guidelines for managing colon cancer discuss these advances and provide a comprehensive management algorithm.

Overall, colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in both men and women, meaning that it is one of the more widely recognized preventable cancers. Instances of colorectal malignancies though are overwhelmingly attributable to adenocarcinoma. Colorectal cancers with components of squamous cell carcinoma represent a statistical anomaly. Here, we present the case of a 50-year-old male, who complained of abdominal pain and weight loss over a 3-month period of time. Biopsies from a colonoscopy ultimately revealed that this patient’s colon cancer consisted of both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, representing a truly exceptional pathology finding in a patient diagnosed with a colorectal cancer.

Cancer Activity

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States for both men and women. The rate of colon cancer incidence was low in India but is presently increasing; out of 3.5 million cancer cases, 35,000 have colon cancer. Polyps which are the small growths in the colon are most often benign, even though some have the potentiality to become cancerous. Up to two-thirds of the colorectal polyps are pre-malignant and they are linked with a risk of colorectal cancer. About 60% of currently used anti-cancer agents are derived from a natural source (i.e. plants). In our study anti-cancer potential of the extract of Coldenia procumbens was studied and the synthesis of the anti-cancer moiety has been done. With the findings, it can be concluded that the plant Coldenia procumbens Linn and possess anti colorectal cancer activity. Before the clinical usage of extract, through toxicological profile has to be determined on the crude extracts as well as on isolated compounds to confirm the safety of the drug.

Colon cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men and women combined in the United States. In this work, we performed mathematical and statistical modelling of Tumour sizes as a function of age for four different races. Mathematically, based on the behaviour of the data for each race, we partitioned ages of subjects into several intervals. The mathematical function that characterizes the size of the Tumour as a function of age was determined for each age interval. Statistically, using quantile regression, we designed models that are more robust at specific quantiles using Tumour size and age as dependent and predictor variables.

In 2007, an estimated 41,420 new cases of rectal cancer will occur in the United States (23,840 cases in men; 17,580 cases in women). The guidelines for rectal cancer overlap considerably with those for colon cancer, and the panel unanimously endorses patient participation in a clinical trial over standard or accepted therapy in both. This is especially true for cases of advanced disease and for patients with locally aggressive colorectal cancer who are receiving combined modality treatment.

BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) has the third highest cancer mortality rate in the United States. Enhanced screening has reduced mortality rates; however, certain populations remain at high risk, notably African Americans. Raising awareness among at-risk populations may lead to improved CRC outcomes. The influence of celebrity death and illness is an important driver of public awareness. As such, the death of actor Chadwick Boseman from CRC may have influenced CRC awareness. OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the influence of Chadwick Boseman’s death on public interest in CRC in the United States, evidenced by internet searches, website traffic, and donations to prominent cancer organizations. METHODS We used an auto-regressive integrated moving average model to forecast Google searching trends for the topic “Colorectal cancer” in the United States. We performed bivariate and multivariable regressions on state-wise CRC incidence rate and percent Black population. We obtained data from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the Colon Cancer Foundation (CCF) for information regarding changes in website traffic and donations. RESULTS The expected national relative search volume (RSV) for colorectal cancer was 2.71 (95% CI 1.76-3.66), reflecting a 3590% (95% CI 2632%-5582%) increase compared to the expected values. With multivariable regression, the statewise RSV increased for each percent Black population by 1.09 (SE 0.18, <i>P</i>&lt;.001), with 42% of the variance explained (<i>P</i>&lt;.001). The American Cancer Society reported a 58,000% increase in CRC-related website traffic the weekend following Chadwick Boseman’s death compared to the weekend before. The Colon Cancer Foundation reported a 331% increase in donations and a 144% increase in revenue in the month following Boseman’s death compared to the month prior. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that Chadwick Boseman’s death was associated with substantial increases in awareness of CRC. Increased awareness of CRC may support earlier detection and better prognoses.

In 2005, an estimated 40,340 new cases of rectal cancer will occur in the U.S., and experts estimate that during the same year, 56,290 people will die of rectal and colon cancer. As with colon cancer, however, mortality from rectal cancer has also decreased over the past 30 years. The NCCN Rectal Cancer Panel believes a multidisciplinary approach is necessary for effectively managing rectal cancer, an approach detailed here.
