What are the various colon cancer staging and the treatments of cancer?

Colon cancer stage 1 - At the earliest stage of colon cancer, doctor may find polyps in the intestines.  After removal, the patient is put on a surveillance programme with regular colonoscopes.  This kind of surveillance has contributed to the decline of colrectal cancer in the US, so they are very effective.

Colon Cancer Stage 2 - At colon cancer stage 2, the cancer would have invaded the wallsof intestines; the colon cancer survivability rate at this stage is 70% over 5 years.

Colon Cancer Stage 3 - The colon cancer survivability at this stage is only around 40% over 5 years, as the cancer would have spread to the lymph nodes outside the intestines.

Colon Cancer Stage 4 - At this stage, the cancer has spread to the liver, the colon cancer survivability rate is generally only 2 years.

The thing is that if the patient is diagnosed at Colon Cancer Stage 1, it can be dealth with keyhole surgery  alone, with more than 95 chance of survival.

Meanwhile, where medicine for treatments of advance stage of colon cancer is concerned, advances are making drugs more targeted and effective.  Survival times have improved, with a median of 20 motnhs or more compared to 12 months previously.

A new generation of colon cancer treatments drugs such as cetuximab, are more targeted.  Cetuximab binds iteself to the epidermal growth factor receptor and so retards growth of the cancer cells.  A recent study showed that Asian responded well to the the cetuximab treatment and as well as Erbitux, the only brand for cetuximab currently as Europeans did.

Years of poor food choices have deprived most of us of nutrients.  In order to build strong and healthy bodies, we need to pump in lots of nutrients.  However, our daily intake of fruits nad vegetables have a limite.  Therefore, juicing is a way to boost the supply and correct the deficiency.

For cleansing and repairing of liver, kidneys, intestinal tracts and other vital organs - The healing properties of juices are well documented in many books.  For example, carrot has the richest source of beta-carotene, which is an effective antioxidant to protect our body from free radical damage and premature aging.  Carrot juice causes the liver to release bile and excessive accumulated cholesterol and toxins.  Cleansing of the liver may cause the effect of a slight yellowish  colour on the skin due to the large amount of waste matter being released.  This discoouration is harmless.  Carrot juice also has an alkalizing effect on the blood, soothing the entire nervous system while toning the intestinal walls.

Super nutrients for building blood.  Blood is the life stream of the body, affecting every cells and system we possess.  For the complex operation of the body, the blood requires a constant source of nutrients.

Millions of people suffer from iron deficiency (anaemia) without knowing it.  If you still feel tired despite having enough sleep, you may have a form of anaemia.  Anaemia saps your energy by depriving your cells of oxygen.  This happens when your blood has too few red blood cells or too little haemoglobin to transport oxygen through the bloodstream.  Green leafy vegetables juice is tremendously beneficial in fighting anaemia because it is extremely rich in iron and other minerals, and very high in chorophyll.

Chorophyll is a substance found exclusively in plants and has a structure similar to human haemoglobin.  Consuming chorophyll enhances the body's ability to produce haemoglobin thus improving the efficiency of oxygen transport.
