Cancer of the colon Colon cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the cells that line the inside of the large intestine (the colon). It can also appear in other regions of the digestive system, such as the rectum, appendix, and gastrointestinal tract. How is Colon Cancer Detected? A colonoscopy (a treatment that includes putting a long flexible tube with a small camera on its end through your anus into your rectum) may be recommended by your doctor to examine for polyps or odd growths that could be malignant. Surgery for colon cancer In Singapore, colon cancer treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy. For all colon cancers that have not migrated outside of the colon, surgery is usually the first-line treatment. This suggests that the malignancy is still contained within the lymph nodes that are close. Colon cancer surgery is removing a portion of the colon containing malignant cells and then reconnecting both ends. This permits you to pass feces (poo) properly while simultaneously removing the cancerous cells.
