Colorectal Cancer: An overview

An overview of the epidemiology, pathology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of colorectal cancers.
Colorectal cancers are more common in older people and those with a family history. Red meat, obesity, cigarette smoking and alcohol are known to be risk factors.
The vast majority of colorectal cancers are adenocarcinomas, and over 60% of cancers are found in the rectum or sigmoid colon.
Diagnosis is by means of colonoscopy and biopsy, CT and MRI.
Treatment options include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapies.

Thank you sir.for helping the medical students

I expected more detailed info considering this is an oncology channel. The info presented is very basic even for a medical student. The art/visual was good. Thanks

Mashael Alzanbagi thanks for the comment - this is an 'overview' so is really just an introduction, I've deliberately tried my best to keep the videos short and concise so as not to be overwhelming- it's my intention to revisit each topic in more detail when I get the time so that topics are in 'bitesize' chunks rather than long lectures

Obesity? I have watched at least 500 videos on youtube with stories of people who had colon canser, 99% of then where thin or normal weighted before and when diagnosed? This obesity or overweight factor seems pretty stupid and wage , sorry to said. And i think that counts for all canser- types! The most destrubing thing i see or read are pasients and doctors who are in denial of canser because of age or other lack of risk factor they think matters for having canser. I hear many pasients said, i eat healty i exercise, i can't get canser. Well this have extremely little to do if you will get this disease or not!
