  • Colon CancerRegional Medical Center - Colon Cancer

  • Cancer of the colon and rectum affects about 145,000 people in the United States, and over 1/3 die. People often don't have symptoms until it is too late. Knowing your risk profile will help provide you with the best defense against colorectal cancer. Take the CancerAware risk assessment.

  • The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is 1 in 19 for men and 1 in 20 for women. Some risk factors for the disease—such as age; race; a personal history of polyps (growths) or colon cancer; and a family history of colon cancer—cannot be changed. However, other risk factors can be modified. The American Cancer Society states that the links between diet, weight, and exercise and colorectal cancer are some of the strongest for any type of cancer.

  • The treatment of colorectal cancer depends on the size and location of the tumor. For cancer in the early stages, surgery is often required to remove the tumor. RMC was the first hospital in the state to implement the endosuite – a fully integrated, voice controlled, high definition digital operating room. RMC's team of surgeons use the latest technology to perform the appropriate surgical procedures for patients in an environment that is comfortable, convenient and accessible.

  • Additional treatment of colorectal cancer may include chemotherapy or radiation therapy. An outpatient cancer treatment facility, the Mabry Center for Cancer Care at the Regional Medical Center offers the latest in radiation therapy to include IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) and chemotherapy. The Mabry Center is committed to bringing the latest research to its patients through a clinical trials partnership with the MUSC Hollings Cancer Center.
