Testimonial by Mrs. Christine Nekesa Naicca

Treatment for: Colon Cancer
Treated by: Dr. Sachin Marda
Speciality:
Patient location: Kenya

Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the colon or rectum, which are parts of the large intestine. The exact cause is not clear, but it typically develops from abnormal growths called polyps that form on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. Over time, these polyps can become cancerous and grow into tumors. Symptoms may include changes in bowel habits such as diarrhea or constipation, blood in the stool, abdominal pain or cramping, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and weakness. Diagnosis involves a combination of screening tests such as colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or fecal occult blood tests, as well as imaging tests like CT scans or MRI scans. Treatment options depend on the stage of the disease and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.

The mainstay of treatment is often surgery, where the tumor and surrounding tissues are removed from the colon or rectum. In some cases, surgery may be followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are the other treatment options that target specific abnormalities in cancer cells or boost the body’s immune system to fight cancer. The choice of treatment depends on factors such as the stage and location of the cancer, the patient’s overall health, and personal preferences. Early detection and prompt treatment are key to achieving the best possible outcomes for individuals diagnosed with colon cancer.

Mrs. Christine Nekesa Naicca from Kenya successfully received treatment for Colon Cancer at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Sachin Marda, Clinical Director, Senior Oncologist and Robotic Surgeon.
