The large intestine is an organ at 2m and the each part has a name.

The high development site of cancer is rectum and sigmoid colon, which is about 70%.

Sigmoid colon is the next most frequent place.

The most common symptoms of colon cancer are bloody stool, bowel movement abnormality (constipation, diarrhea), abdominal pains.

A study by EU countries of a lot of women showed that the risk of colorectal cancer decreases when the selenium value in the blood is higher.^①

Selenium levels are lower than normal in colorectal cancer.

①Int.J.Cancer 2015.136.5:1149-61

Zinc levels in cancer cells of colon cancer patients are significantly lower than those in normal cells.^②

②Biomedical research 2010.21.4:445-50

It is reported that the zinc value in blood is also significantly lower than normal.^③

The symptoms of colon cancer are greatly different from the place of occurrence.

It is difficult for endoscopes to enter the ascending colon and discoveries tend to be delayed.

In the case of colorectal cancer, it is considered to be relatively slow. However, those who drink alcohol, smoking, and meat intake often require examination of colonoscopy once a year.
