Where is Colon Located? The colon is the last part of the

digestive system in most vertebrates The colon extracts water and salt from

solid wastes before they are eliminated from the body

The site in which largely bacterial fermentation of unabsorbed material occurs

The colon absorbs water, potassium and some fat soluble vitamins

The Colon: Morphology

Page 4: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

The Colon

The colon, cecum, and rectum make up the large intestine

In mammals, the colon consists of four sections:

(1) The ascending colon (2) The transverse colon (3) The descending colon (4) The sigmoid colon

Page 5: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

Colon Cancer Colon, or colorectal cancer is cancer

that starts in the large intestine (colon) or the rectum (end of the colon)

The rectum is the end of the colon adjacent to the anus

Together, they form a long, muscular tube called the large intestine

Tumors of the colon and rectum are growths arising from the inner wall of the large intestine

Page 6: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

Symptoms

Blood in the stool Diarrhea, constipation, or other

change in bowel habits Narrow stools Weight loss with no known reason

Page 7: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

Stages of Colon Cancer Stage 0: Very early cancer on the

innermost layer of the intestine Stage I: Cancer is in the inner layers of

the colon Stage II: Cancer has spread through the

muscle wall of the colon Stage III: Cancer has spread to the

lymph nodes Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other

organs

Colon Cancer and Polyp

Page 9: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

Benign Polyps (1) Benign tumors of the large intestine are

called polyps Malignant tumors of the large intestine

are called cancers Benign polyps do not invade nearby

tissue or spread to other parts of the body Benign polyps can be easily removed

during colonoscopy and are not life-threatening

Page 10: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

10

Benign Polyps (2) If benign polyps are not removed

from the large intestine, they can become malignant (cancerous) over time

Most of the cancers of the large intestine are believed to have developed from polyps

?? Most polyps are developed from “what you eat”

Early Detection

According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States

However, early diagnosis often leads to a better cure.

Page 12: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

Exams and Tests

(1) A fecal occult blood test (FOBT) may detect small amounts of blood in the stool

However, this test is often negative in patients with colon cancer

It is also important to note that a positive FOBT doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer

(2) Colonoscopy(3) Sigmoidoscopy

Page 13: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

13

Blood Tests Measurement of the patient's blood for

elevated levels of certain proteins can give an indication of tumor load

High levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the blood can indicate metastasis of adenocarcinoma

These tests are frequently false positive or false negative

They are not recommended for screening It can be useful to assess disease

recurrence

Higher Risks for Colon Cancer (1)

Age older than 60 African American of eastern European descent Eat a diet high in red or processed meats Have cancer elsewhere in the body Have colorectal polyps Have inflammatory bowel disease (

Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) Have a family history of colon cancer Have a personal history of breast cancer

Page 15: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

15

Higher Risks for Colon Cancer (2)

What you eat may play a role in your risk of colon cancer

Colon cancer may be associated with a high-fat, low-fiber diet and red meat

Page 16: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

16

Certain Genetic Syndromes

(1) Familial Polyp history (2) History of Hereditary

nonpolyposis colorectal cancer

Page 17: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

17

Treatments : The Big Three

Surgery (most often a colectomy) to remove cancer cells

Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells Radiation therapy to destroy

cancerous tissue

Page 18: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

18

Prevention is Better than Cure Cancer of the colon and rectum (also

referred to as colorectal cancer) can invade and damage adjacent tissues and organs

The spread of colon cancer to distant organs is called metastasis of the colon cancer

Once metastasis has occurred in colorectal cancer, a complete cure of the cancer is unlikely

“Prevention is better than Cure”

Page 19: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

19

Prevention

The death rate for colon cancer has dropped in the last 15 years

This may be due to increased awareness and screening by colonoscopy

Colon cancer can almost always be caught by colonoscopy in its earliest and most curable stages

Almost all men and women age 50 and older should have a colon cancer screening

Patients at risk may need earlier screening

Page 20: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

20

NSAIDs (Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs) Some studies have reported that NSAIDs

(aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen) may help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer

However, these medicines can increase your risk for bleeding and heart problems

Most experts do not recommend that most people take these medicines to prevent colon cancer

Talk to your health care provider about this issue.

Change your Diet and Lifestyle

Changing your diet and lifestyle is important

Some evidence suggests that low-fat and high-fiber diets may reduce your risk of colon cancer

Dietary supplements, e.g. Ginseng

Ginseng for Colorectal Cancer Colorectal cancer is one of the most

common types of cancer in the United States, and among the deadliest

Half of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer eventually die from the disease

Less than 10 percent of patients with colorectal cancer that has spread will survive more than five years after diagnosis.

Drawbacks of the Existing Treatments Because chemotherapy and other standard

treatments aren’t always effective and may have serious side effects, many patients have turned to herbal remedies.

Ginseng has been a staple of Asian herbal medicine, and studies have indicated that it might help not only prevent cancer, but also relieve some of the side effects (such as nausea and vomiting) of cancer therapies.

Ginseng Study (1) Responsible for the herb’s anti-cancer properties Asian ginseng has a long history of use and research American ginseng has not been as well studied Last year researchers at The University of Chicago

launched a $6 million effort funded by the National Institutes of Health to investigate the anti-cancer potential of American ginseng

As part of that study, the researchers treated human colorectal cancer cells with extracts of American ginseng berry and root that had been steam heated.

The steamed extracts increased the saponin activity, and halted the cancer cells’ growth by as much as 99%

Page 26: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

Ginseng Study (2) Although treatment with ginseng doesn’t work

as well as chemotherapy, it might be an effective adjuvant cancer treatment, says study author Chun-Su Yuan, MD, PhD, Director of the Tang Center for Herbal Medicine Research at The University of Chicago

“It could be used together with chemotherapy to increase its efficacy and also to reduce the chemotherapy side effects,” he says. “It possibly could be a single compound that could be a new-generation cancer drug.”

Page 27: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

27

Ginseng Study (3) Although ginseng doesn’t have any noticeable

adverse effects in moderate doses, when given in larger amounts patients have noted increased heart rate, nausea, headaches, and difficulty sleeping, among other symptoms.

The challenge is to determine the optimal dose, and figure out how to deliver ginseng in the most effective way to target the cancer cells without causing significant side effects.

Future research should help resolve these issues. “We would like to start human trials in the future,” Dr. Yuan says. “Our initial results were promising.”

Page 28: Ginseng And Colon Cancer

28

Ginseng Study (4) Currently researchers are only in the

animal testing phase, and Dr. Yuan does not recommend that patients take ginseng supplements for cancer prevention or treatment.

Ginseng hasn’t yet been studied well enough for this purpose, and there is no guarantee that the active components Dr. Yuan’s team identified in the study will be in any given bottle of supplements.

Ginseng Studied as Colorectal Cancer Fighter

Researchers have discovered that ginseng may be very effective against colorectal cancer

It depends on the nature of the ginseng preparation

Different preparation gives rise to different results to the body

Dietary Supplement Also known as food supplement or

nutritional supplement A preparation intended to supplement the diet

and provide nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids, or amino acids, that may be missing or may not be consumed in sufficient quantities in a person's diet

Some countries define dietary supplements as foods, while in others they are defined as drugs or natural health products
