<p>Less than one percent people diagnosed with colon cancer are younger than 35. However, because of the deadly nature of the disease doctors generally acknowledge that rectal bleeding, even in a patient under 35, needs to be investigated by a colonoscopy so as to figure out if the bleeding is because of cancer or a different cause. Simply assuming that the blood is from hemorrhoids falls below the standard of care.</p>
<p>Take, for example, what occurred in a reported case involving a woman who complained to her primary care physician that she had blood in her stool and felt pain during bowel movements. She was only twenty four. The physician, just\without even doing an examination, told her to take a laxative after deciding that she had diarrhea and other bowel issues. She went back after 4 months with complaints of constipation, pain and problems sitting. On this occasion the physician at last examined her yet told her she had hemorrhoids. His treatment: an enema. The woman went back to the doctor on 2 additional occassions and every time was reassured that she only had hemorrhoids and she had nothing to be concerned with.</p></div>

<p>Patient: &#8220;Doctor, I notice blood in my stool when I go to the bathroom.&#8221;</p>
<p>Physician: &#8220;There is nothing to worry about and you probably merely have hemorrhoids.&#8221;</p>
<p>Unfortunately, some time later this patient discovers that the bleeding was actually caused by a cancerous tumor in the colon. The individual now has advanced colon cancer that has progressed to the lymph nodes or even to a distant organ, like the liver or the lungs. What legal choices does the patient have in these circumstances?</p>
<p>Doctors generally recommend that if an individual notices rectal bleeding or blood in the stool, testing should be done to exclude the possibility of colon cancer. The test that is most commonly done is the colonoscopy, which involves the use of a flexible tube with a camera on the end to visualize the interior of the colon. If growths (polyps or tumors) are found, they can be biopsied and possibly taken out. The samples (biopsies) are then examined to see if they have cancer. If no cancer is found, then colon cancer can often be ruled out as a source of the blood. But, all too often, a person&#8217;s physician will simply assume the blood is from hemorrhoids without referring the individual to a gastroenterologistand without conducting any testing, for example , a colonoscopy, to rule out cancer.</p></div>

<p>Around ten percent people diagnosed with colon cancer are under the age of 50. Yet, because of the lethal nature of the disease doctors typically concur that rectal bleeding, even in a patient below 50, has to be followed by a colonoscopy to verify whether the bleeding from a tumor or some other cause. Merely supposing that the blood is caused by hemorrhoids falls below the standard of care.</p>
<p>Too often physicians do not order a colonoscopy or send the individual to a specialist when a individual complains of rectal bleeding or blood in the stool. Instead, these doctors merely assume that the symptom is the result of hemorrhoids. This is particularly common if the individual is less than 50 years old.</p>
<p>Think about the following not infrequent situation. Men and women in their twenties, thirties or forties may start to discover blood in their stool. Occasionally individuals in this situation have no other symptoms. Other times though there might be one or more extra indications accompanying the blood. One such potential indication is constipation. Most physicians would recognize that blood in the stool may be from colon cancer and that reports of blood in the stool thus ought to lead to referring that patient either to a gastroenterologist or for a colonoscopy. Nonetheless there are doctors who may either totally dismiss the symptoms, attribute them to other causes such as hemorrhoids, or treat the symptoms without knowing the true cause by prescribing a laxative or even an enema if the patient has constipation as a symptom. These physicians regularly assure the patient that there is nothing to be worried about.</p></div>

<p><strong>Hemorrhoid nouns?</strong></p>
<p>Are there any home remedies for hemorrhoid relief or any store bought products that you can swear by? ive hear that they will go away on their own, is this true? Some (but not all) hemorrhoid can stir away by themselves but it will take longer.I actually purely started a treatment. I doubt that&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Hemorrhoid oblige subdivision 3?</strong></p>
<p>I went to the doctor again with my external hemorrhoid to speak about him that I bled after going to the toilet. He said it&#8217;s perfectly fine because the hemorrhoid apparently cut itself, and that it will eventually fall out when I travel to the bathroom again. Is this possible? He said&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Hemorrhoid or cancer I am so startled?</strong></p>
<p>Ok I realize I do need to go to the doctor but I want to know the severity of this. I am so scared right now. Last hours of darkness I found a little round lump that is nearly the size of a pea RIGHT on my butt hole&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>Hemorrhoid or Not?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m wondering if I have a hemorrhoid or not because I have small bump around the anal first performance, but I dont have any of the symptoms. There is no itching, burning, bleeding, pain, or irritation. I guzzle a pretty healthy diet and I exercise at least an hour a light&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Hemorrhoid or pinworms?</strong></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what it is but I have been have an itch in my anal area. I&#8217;m not really sure how long it have been there, but I would utter at least a few weeks. Sometimes when I make a bowel movement, in that is a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit of&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Hemorrhoid or something else? WARNING: may be TMI?</strong></p>
<p>I had diarrhea for 5 days that started on Saturday and lasted through Wednesday hours of darkness. As expected my tush was a little sore from adjectives of the sitting and bowel movements. But, today it still hurt when I wiped so I took a shower and&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Hemorrhoid or something else?</strong></p>
<p>for almost a year now i have have a strange marble-shapped bump on the rim of my butt hole&#8230;.i was told it might be a hemorrhoid, but then hear it might be something else. i heard of something (i forget what its called) but its something that fits the discription. whatever its&#8230;</p></div>

<p>Being told one has colon cancer tends to raise dread in most of people. It can thus feel quite reassuring for your doctor tell you that you just have hemorrhoids and there is no need to worry about the blood in your stool. Yet this reassurance ought to not be given until the doctor has ruled out the chance of colon cancer (and other potentially serious gastrointestinal issues). Otherwise, you may not discover that you have colon cancer until it is too late. Should a doctor decide without testing assumes that claims of blood in the stool or rectal bleeding by a patient are due to hemorrhoids and it subsequently is discovered that the patient had colon cancer all along, that doctor may not have met the standard of care and the patient might have a legal claim against that physician.</p>
<p>It is generally thought that there are currently at least 10 million people with hemorrhoids and another million new cases of hemorrhoids will probably arise this year. In contrast, a little more than the 100 thousand new incidents of colon cancer that will be diagnosed this year. Further, colon cancers do not always. In the event that they do, the bleeding could be intermittent. And based on where the cancer is in the colon, the blood might not even be apparent in the stool. Perhaps it is in part as a result of the difference in the volume of instances being identified that some doctors basically consider that the existence of blood in the stool or rectal bleeding is due to hemorrhoids. This amounts to playing the odds. A physician who reaches this conclusion will be correct more than 90% of the time. It seems reasonable, doesn&#8217;t it? The problem, however, is that if the physician is incorrect in this diagnosis, the patient may not discover he or she has colon cancer until it has progressed to an advanced stage, maybe even to the point where treatment is no longer effective.</p>
<p>If colon cancer is found while still contained within the colon, the patient&#8217;s chances of surviving the cancer are over 80%. The 5 year survival rate is a statistical guage of the percentage of individuals who are still alive a minimum of 5 years subsequent to diagnosis. Treatment protocols for early stage colon cancer generally calls for only surgery so as to take out the cancerous growth and surrounding sections of the colon. Subject to factors such as the stage of the cancer and the patient&#8217;s medical history (including family medical history), age, and the patient&#8217;s physical condition, chemotherapy may or may not be required.</p>
<p>This is why doctors generally advise that a colonoscopy ought to be ordered immediately if someone complains of blood in the stool or rectal bleeding. A colonoscopy is a procedure whereby a flexible scope with a camera on the end is used to see the interior of the colon. If growths (polyps or tumors) are detected, they can be taken out (if sufficiently small) or sampled and examined for the existence of cancer (by biopsy). Providing no cancer is detected during the colonoscopy may colon cancer be ruled out as a cause of the blood.</p>
<p>But, if the cancer is not detected until it has spread beyond the colon and has reached the lymph nodes, the patient&#8217;s five year survival rate will generally be around 53%. In addition to surgery to remove the tumor and adjacent portions of the colon treatment for this stage of colon cancer calls for chemotherapy in an attempt to remove any cancer that might be left in the body. If the cancer spreads to other organs for example the liver, lungs, or brain, the person&#8217;s 5 year survival rate is reduced to near 8%. If treatment options exist for a patient at this stage, they may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and other medications. Treatment may or may not still be helpful the moment the cancer is this advanced. If treatment ceases to be effective, colon cancer is fatal. This year, around 48,000 individuals will die in the U.S. from colon cancer metastasis.</p>
<p>As a result of diagnosing complaints of blood in the stool or rectal bleeding as caused by hemorrhoids while not doing the correct tests to rule out colon cancer, a physician puts the patient at risk of not learning he or she has colon cancer until it progresses to an advanced, possibly no longer treatable, stage. This might amount to a departure from the accepted standard of medical care and might bring about a medical malpractice claim.</p>
<p>In the event that you or a a member of your family were told by a doctor that blood in the stool or rectal bleeding were due to only hemorrhoids, and were subsequently diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer, you need to contact an attorney at once. This article is for basic educational usage only and is not intended to be legal (or medical) advice. For any medical issues you should seek advice from physician. You should not act, or refrain from acting, based upon any information contained herein but ought to rather consult with an attorney. A competent lawyer with experience in medical malpractice might be able to help you determine should you have a claim for a delay in the diagnosis of the colon cancer. Immediately contact an attorney are there is a time limit in lawsuits such as these.</p>

<p>Less than 1% people diagnosed with colon cancer are younger than thirty-five. Yet, because of the lethal nature of the disease physicians typically concur that the presence of rectal bleeding, even in a patient under thirty-five, has to be followed by a colonoscopy so as to figure out if the bleeding is due to a tumor or a different cause. Simply assuming that the blood is from hemorrhoids may constitute malpractice.</p>
<p>Consider what took place in a reported claim involving a woman who complained to her family doctor that she saw blood in her stool and experienced pain during bowel movements. She was only twenty four. The physician, just\without even conducting an examination, told her to take a laxative after deciding that she had diarrhea and other bowel problems. She went back after 4 months with complaints of constipation, pain and problems sitting. This time the doctor at last examined her yet assured her she had hemorrhoids. The doctor recommended an enema. The woman went back to the physician on 2 additional occassions and every time was told that she merely had hemorrhoids and she had nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>She had to be hurried to an emergency room complaining of severe pain 7 months after her first trip to her primary care physician. They scheduled a colonoscopy through which she was diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer. The cancer was so extensive by the time she underwent surgery that not only did the surgeon have to take out part of her colon but in addition had to take out her uterus and part of her lower intestines. The surgery was later followed by chemotherapy. The cancer came back and she died in less than 3 years. Her husband and minor daughter survived her.</p>
<p>The law firm that represented the family documented that the matter went to trail and the jury returned a verdict of $2,500,000. The award included $350,000 the largest amount permitted for pain and suffering under the law of the State where the doctor practices. The remainder of the amount was for future lost wages. This claim illustrates what could be the most common medical error concerning the delayed diagnosis of colon cancer.</p>
<p>When a matter like the one described above happens and the person dies due to the fact the cancer progressed so far that a cure was no longer possible as a consequence of the delay in diagnosis the surviving family may be able to bring a case against the doctor responsible for the delay.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Prostate Cancer Treatment May Up Colon Cancer Risk</h1>
<p style="text-align: right;"><em>By <a title="Prostate Cancer Treatment May Up Colon Cancer Risk" href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101112/hl_nm/us_prostate_risk" target="_blank">Megan Brooks</a></em></p>
<p><strong>NEW YORK (Reuters Health)</strong> – Men who opt for hormone-blocking therapy to treat prostate cancer may be increasing their risk of developing colon cancer, hints a study published this week in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.</p>
<p>So-called &#8220;androgen deprivation therapy,&#8221; or ADT, suppresses production of the male hormone testosterone, which helps drive the growth of prostate cancer. ADT is widely used to treat prostate cancer, despite increasing recognition that it carries serious potential risks, including diabetes and obesity, which are known risk factors for colon cancer.</p>
<p>Just last month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ruled that certain hormone treatments for prostate cancer must carry new warnings about an increased risk of diabetes and heart problems. Those medications include Lupron, Zoladex, Trelstar, and Eligard.</p>
<p>Studies in animals have also suggested that male hormones may protect against the development of colon cancer by suppressing signals the cancer cells need to grow, the authors write.</p>
<p>So it is &#8220;conceivable&#8221; that suppressing the hormones might increase the risk of colon cancer, Dr. Vahakn Shahinian, of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, told Reuters Health.</p>
<p>He and his colleagues looked for ties between the use of ADT and colon cancer in more than 100,000 older men who were diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1993 and 2002.</p>
<p>The men received ADT either in the form of drugs or surgery to remove the testicles, which produce more than 90 percent of the body&#8217;s male hormones (androgens), including testosterone. Most opted for drugs. They were followed through 2004.</p>
<p>The researchers found that men who received ADT, relative to those who did not, had a 30 to 40 percent increased risk of developing colon cancer during the follow-up period.</p>
<p>The analysis took into account factors such as existing obesity and socio-economic environment that might influence colon cancer risk.</p>
<p>And the longer the men took ADT, the greater their risk of developing colon cancer, suggesting a &#8220;dose-response&#8221; relationship.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to note, however, that this was an &#8220;observational&#8221; study, which can only point to a link (or lack thereof) between two variables &#8211; in this case, ADT and colon cancer. This type of study cannot prove cause-and-effect.</p>
<p>And, Shahinian told Reuters Health, the absolute risk of colon cancer in all of the men was small; over 5 years, it was just 2.2 percent for men on androgen-blocking drugs and 3.2 percent in those who had surgery, compared with 1.8 percent in the men who did not receive ADT.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the impact may be large given that hundreds of thousands of men are on ADT for prostate cancer, the researchers note in their report.</p>
<p>&#8220;When considering starting ADT, men should carefully weigh the risks versus benefits of the therapy,&#8221; advised Shahinian in an e-mail. &#8220;Since the risk of colorectal cancer is small, men shouldn&#8217;t hesitate to use ADT when it is likely to be clearly beneficial for them,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Dr. Jennifer H. Lin, of Brigham and Women&#8217;s Hospital in Boston, and co-author of a commentary on the study, told Reuters Health that several simple measures may help prevent the development of colon cancer and &#8220;help to counter some of the drawbacks of ADT.&#8221;</p>
<p>These include routine screening for colorectal cancer and adopting a healthy lifestyle, complete with plenty of physical activity.</p>
<p>Shahinian and colleagues say their findings have potential broader implications, beyond prostate cancer, given that testosterone deficiency is now recognized to be relatively common in the general population of men, affecting perhaps as many as 2.4 million men in the U.S., or about 2 percent of adult males.</p>
<p>Testosterone deficiency is generally considered to be a testosterone level below 3.2 nanograms per liter of blood, which is about half the &#8220;low-normal&#8221; level for a middle-aged man. (See Reuters Health story June 16, 2010.)</p>
<p>Whether these men are also at increased risk for colon cancer will need to be explored further, the researchers emphasize. In addition, they think future studies of testosterone replacement therapies should look for increased colon cancer cases to provide more data to analyze.</p>
