Early detection of colorectal cancer is vital to treatment success. Symptoms of colorectal cancer vary at different stages. This article will guide you to intermediate stage manifestations so as to achieve earlier detection and intervention.
Intermediate Stage of Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of the most severe forms of cancer. Symptoms of early cancer are usually inconspicuous. Only with the enlargement of the tumor and further development of the disease can the symptoms appear. Therefore, most patients who are clinically diagnosed are often at a late stage.
1. Mid-stage symptoms are limited to mucosa, and only minor symptoms or changes in defecation habits may occur. When the tumor is small, the mucosa remains intact and there is generally no bleeding. After the tumor grows to a certain extent, hematochezia may appear. The blood color will be dark and adheres to the surface of the stool. As the inflammation starts, blood flow is disrupted, mucosa is eroded, and even tumor rupture and bleeding may occur.
2. Since the large intestine contains a massive amount of bacteria, once the mucosa on the surface of the tumor is damaged, a secondary infection, coupled with the shedding of necrotic cells and a large amount of secretion generated through stimulation and friction on the tumor, will result in mucous stool or pus and bloody stool.
3. When defecation becomes affected by colorectal cancer, abnormal performance may come up, such as loose stool, constipation, bloody stool, increased defecation frequency, and changes in stool shape.
HymonBio adopts the innovative ECS high-efficiency magnetic bead extraction technology and nanobody molecular lock technology, which greatly improves detection sensitivity and specificity. It uses a non-invasive blood test, allowing for easier sampling, and effectively decreases the public’s fear of possible colonoscopy and time wasted, while also increasing screening compliance.
