Increasing incidence and prevalence of colon and rectal cancer globally, as well as increased research and development
Rectal cancer is a cancerous disease in which
cancerous cells form in the rectum's tissues. The digestive system helps waste
material pass out of the body through the anus and absorb nutrients from the
host's food. Rectal cancer is caused by a variety of factors, including
increasing age (mostly over 50), having a family history of rectal cancer,
having had polyps or colorectal cancer, eating a high-fat diet, and smoking.
Increased global incidence and prevalence of colon
and rectal cancer drugs, as well as increased research and development
studies for colorectal cancer treatment, are expected to propel the growth of
colon and rectal cancer drugs in the next few years. Surgery, chemotherapy, and
radiation therapy are the most common treatments for colon cancer. The goal of
treatment will be to get rid of cancer, prevent it from spreading, and
alleviate any unpleasant symptoms.
With the FDA's recent approval of the
targeted drug encorafenib (Braftovi) in combination with another targeted
therapy, cetuximab, some people with metastatic colorectal cancer now have a
new treatment option (Erbitux). A colorectal cancer treatment regimen that
includes a combination of chemotherapy drugs. The drugs leucovorin calcium
(folinic acid), fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin are all part of it.
A five-year survival rate is included in many
colon cancer statistics. For example, if the five-year survival rate for
localized colon cancer is 90%, it means that 90% of those diagnosed with the
disease are still alive five years later. When colon cancer is limited to the
bowel, it is a highly treatable and often curable disease. Surgery is the most
common treatment option, and it cures approximately half of the patients.
Recurrence after surgery is a major issue, and it is frequently the cause of
death.
Previous studies of the FOLFOX regimen for
advanced colorectal cancer treatment have shown a response rate of over 40% and
progression-free survival of over a year. It's possible that your hair will
thin. However, you are unlikely to lose all of your hair. After the first or
second treatment, hair loss is common. It's almost always only temporary, and
your hair will regrow after the treatment is finished.
