This type of cancer typically develops from polyps, abnormal growths in the lining of the colon or rectum. While not all polyps become cancerous, some have the potential to transform into cancer over time. The causes of colorectal cancer are multifactorial and may involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Risk factors for colorectal cancer include age, family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, personal history of inflammatory bowel disease, certain genetic syndromes, diets high in red and processed meats, sedentary lifestyles, obesity, smoking, and heavy alcohol use. Recognizing these risk factors is crucial for understanding one’s susceptibility to the disease.
Common symptoms of colorectal cancer may include a change in bowel habits, rectal bleeding or blood in the stool, persistent abdominal discomfort, weakness or fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. However, it’s important to note that early-stage colorectal cancer often shows no symptoms, underscoring the importance of regular screening for early detection.
By increasing awareness and understanding of this disease, individuals can take proactive steps to limit their risk and seek timely medical attention.
Many patients feel anxious before imaging appointments, especially if they are unfamiliar with the process. Knowing what to expect can help ease concerns and make the experience smoother.
Medical imaging plays a critical role in diagnosis and treatment planning, but not all scans provide the same information. CT and MRI scans focus on the structure of the body, while PET imaging shows how tissues and organs are functioning at a cellular level.
When your doctor orders a PET scan, it’s natural to have questions. PET imaging plays an important role in helping your care team better understand what’s happening inside your body—so they can make informed decisions about your care.
