Colon cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed gastrointestinal cancers and develops when abnormal cells begin growing uncontrollably in the lining of the large intestine. Because the disease often progresses silently during its initial stages, many people remain unaware until symptoms become more noticeable. Warning signs may include ongoing changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, abdominal pain, or a feeling that the bowel does not empty completely. Regular screening plays a crucial role in identifying colon cancer early, particularly for individuals over the age of 45 or those with a family history of colorectal cancer. Early diagnosis allows treatment to begin before the disease spreads, greatly improving the chances of successful recovery. Surgery remains the cornerstone of colon cancer treatment, with procedures tailored according to the size, location, and stage of the tumour. In many cases, surgeons perform a colectomy to remove the affected portion of the colon while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Modern minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques have transformed surgical care by reducing incision size, lowering post-operative discomfort, minimising hospital stays, and enabling quicker recovery. Depending on the patient's condition, surgery may also be combined with chemotherapy or radiation therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence and improve long-term outcomes. Following surgery, patients benefit from structured follow-up care that includes nutritional guidance, routine monitoring, physical recovery plans, and, when necessary, support for managing a temporary or permanent colostomy. With timely intervention and comprehensive care, many individuals are able to return to their normal lives with renewed confidence and improved health.

FAQ

Gastrointestinal surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures that treat benign (noncancerous) and malignant (cancer) conditions that affect the body's digestive system.
The GI tract is another name for your body's digestive tract. It consists of several tube-like organs joined together—starting at the esophagus in the mouth and ending at your anus. Each piece of the GI tract plays a role in how your body digests (breaks down) food and nutrients. Organs that make up the GI tract include: Esophagus Stomach Small intestine (small bowel) Large intestine (colon) Rectum Anus The digestive system also includes organs that aren't part of the GI tract. These organs include: Gallbladder Liver Pancreas
Both gastroenterologists and GI surgeons diagnose and treat conditions affecting the digestive system. Gastroenterologists are trained in internal medicine and receive additional training in problems of the digestive system. They treat GI conditions medically (such as with medicines) and perform nonsurgical procedures, such as colonoscopies.
Individuals with a body mass index of 35kg/m2 and a weight related condition (diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure) or 40kg/m2 or greater are eligible for bariatric surgery.
Individuals who do not meet the BMI criteria are typically not candidates for bariatric surgery. Someone with complex medical and surgical needs may meet the BMI criteria but after meeting with a surgeon, it can be determine that the individual risk is greater than the potential benefit of the surgery. These situations are rare and are discussed individually with your care team.
