What is malignant neoplasm of colon and what causes it? what is the treatment for this?

Malignant : Malignant neoplasm of the colon is a medical term for colon cancer. There is no one single known cause of colon cancer, but certain things may put you at risk such as: -age (over 60) -family history of colon cancer -history of other cancers (breast especially) -specific genetic syndromes like familial adenomatous polyposis (fap) or lynch syndrome -history of inflammatory bowel disease -colon polyps -drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, or eating red meat and highly processed foods colon cancer may be treated with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or any combination of the three. Treatment depends on molecular testing of the tumor to determine what type you have and how aggressive it is along with what stage it is. I've attached a website below that explains colon cancer in more depth and may answer any additional questions you have. Good luck!

"Malignant : "malignant neoplasm of colon" is just another way of saying "colon cancer." there are any number of risk factors that increase a person's chances for developing colon cancer (advanced age, family history, obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, low-fiber diet, etc.), but even people who don't have risk factors for colon cancer can develop this disease. Treatment for colon cancer involves surgery to remove the cancer, various types of chemotherapy, immunomodulators (medications that boost your immune response), and radiation therapy. I've included a link that provides more information about colon cancer. Ask your doctor about the next step in treatment. I hope things go well! http://www.Medicinenet.Com/colon_cancer/article.Htm.
