Emva kokuxilongwa komhlaza wekolon

Ukuba uva amagama athi "unomdlavuza wekolon," kuyinto engokwemvelo ukuzibuza ngekamva lakho. Eminye yemibuzo yokuqala onokuthi unayo "Sithini isifo sam? okanye "Ngaba umhlaza wam uyanyangeka?"

Kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule ukuba amanani okusinda komhlaza anzima kwaye anokudideka. La manani asekwe kumaqela amakhulu abantu abanomhlaza kwaye awunakho ukuqikelela ukuba uza kwenza njani wena okanye omnye umntu. Akukho bantu babini bafunyaniswe benomhlaza wekolon abafanayo ngokuchanekileyo.

Ugqirha wakho uya kwenza konke okusemandleni abo ukuphendula imibuzo yakho ngokusekwe kulwazi abanalo malunga nomhlaza wakho. Ukuqikelela kunye neenkcukacha-manani zokusinda zenzelwe ukuba zisetyenziswe njengesikhokelo.

Ukuqonda amaxabiso okusinda

Amanqanaba okusinda komhlaza wekolon akuxelela ipesenti yabantu abanomhlaza wekolon abasaphila emva kwenani elithile leminyaka. Amanani amaninzi omhlaza wekolon abandakanya iminyaka emihlanu yokuphila.

Umzekelo, ukuba iminyaka emihlanu yokuphila komhlaza we-colon yendawo iipesenti ezingama-90, oko kuthetha ukuba iipesenti ezingama-90 zabantu abafunyenwe benomdlavuza wendawo bahlala besaphila kwiminyaka emihlanu emva kokuxilongwa kwabo kokuqala.

Gcina ukhumbula, izibalo azixeleli amabali ngamanye kwaye azinakho ukuqikelela isiphumo sakho. Kulula ukubanjwa kwisibhengezo kunye neziphumo, kodwa khumbula ukuba wonke umntu wahlukile. Amava akho omhlaza wekolon angahluka kunalawo omnye umntu, nokuba unesifo esifanayo.

Kukwabalulekile ukuba uqonde amayeza amatsha, njengoko iimvavanyo zeklinikhi zihlala zikhula kunyango lwenoveli.Nangona kunjalo, kungathatha iminyaka eliqela ukulinganisa impumelelo kunye nokubaluleka kwezo nyango kubomi bokuphila.

Impembelelo yonyango olutsha kumanqanaba okusinda komhlaza wekolon akufakwanga kubalo ugqirha anokuxoxa ngalo.

Iminyaka emihlanu yamaxabiso okusinda kumhlaza wekolon

Ngokwedatha ukusuka ku-2008 ukuya ku-2014 woPhononongo, iNkqubo ye-Epidemiology kunye neziphumo zokugqibela (i-SEER), izinga lokusinda leminyaka emihlanu kubantu abanomhlaza wekolon lalingama-64.5 eepesenti. Umhlaza ubekwa ngokwesiqhelo kusetyenziswa i-American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM system, kodwa idatha kumaqela e-SEER anomdlavuza kwiindawo zalapha, zommandla, nakude.

Iminyaka emihlanu yamaxabiso okusinda kweqela ngalinye ngala alandelayo:

• Yenziwe yaNgingqiIipesenti ezingama-90. Oku kuchaza umhlaza ohleli kwilungu lomzimba apho uqale khona.
• Ummandla: Ipesenti ezingama-71. Oku kuchaza umhlaza osasazeke waya kwindawo eyahlukileyo yomzimba.
• Ukude: Iipesenti ezili-14. Oku kukwachaza umhlaza osasazeke waya kwinxalenye eyahlukileyo yomzimba kodwa ubizwa ngokuba ngumhlaza "we-metastatic".

Izinto ezichaphazela isifo somhlaza wamathumbu

Ukuba ufumene ukuba unomdlavuza wekolon, izinto ezininzi zichaphazela ukuxela kwakho. Ngokuka, ezi zinto zibandakanya:

• Inqanaba. Isigaba somhlaza wekolon sithetha ukuba kude kangakanani ukusasazeka. Njengoko kuxeliwe yiAmerican Cancer Society, umhlaza wasekhaya ongakhange usasazeke kwii-lymph node okanye kumalungu akude ngokubanzi unesiphumo esingcono kunomhlaza osasazeke kwamanye amalungu omzimba.
• IBakala. Inqanaba lomhlaza libhekisa kwindlela iiseli zomhlaza ezijongwa ngayo kwiiseli eziqhelekileyo. Okukhona iiseli zijongeka njengokungaqhelekanga, kokukhona liphezulu ibakala. Iicancer zomgangatho ophantsi zihlala zineziphumo ezingcono.
• Ukubandakanyeka kwe-lymph node. Inkqubo ye-lymph inceda ukususa umzimba wenkunkuma. Ngamanye amaxesha, iiseli zomhlaza zihamba ukusuka kwindawo yazo yoqobo ukuya kwii-lymph node. Ngokubanzi, ii-lymph node ezineeseli zomhlaza, kokukhona amathuba akho okuba umhlaza ubuye.
• Impilo ngokubanzi. Impilo yakho ngokubanzi ichaphazela amandla akho okunyamezela unyango kwaye inokudlala indima kwisiphumo sakho. Kwiimeko ezininzi, usempilweni ngexesha lokuxilongwa, ngcono unokujongana nonyango kunye neziphumo zalo.
• Ukuvalelwa kweColon: Umhlaza wekolon ungabangela ukuvalwa kwekholoni okanye ukhule ngodonga lwekholoni kwaye ubangele umngxunya emathunjini. Nokuba zezi meko zinokuchaphazela umbono wakho.
• Ubukho be-carcinoembryonic antigen. I-Carcinoembryonic antigen (i-CEA) yimolekyuli yeprotini egazini. Amanqanaba egazi e-CEA anokunyuka xa umhlaza wekolon ukhona. Ubukho be-CEA kuvavanyo bunokuchaphazela indlela ophendula ngayo kunyango.

Izibalo zomhlaza wekolon

Umhlaza wekolon okwangoku ngumhlaza wesine oqhelekileyo ufunyanwa e-United States. Ngokutsho kweAmerican Cancer Society, bamalunga ne-135,430 abantu abafunyaniswa benomhlaza wamathumbu ngonyaka ka-2014. Kwakuloo nyaka, basondele kubantu abangama-50 260 ababulawa sesi sifo.

Iindaba ezimnandi ngumbono wabantu abanomhlaza wekolon ophucukileyo kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo. Ngokutsho kweColorectal Cancer Coalition, izinga lokufa kwabantu abanomdlavuza wekolon liye lahla ngama-30 ekhulwini ukususela ngo-1991 ukuya ku-2009.

Yise kude

Amanqanaba okusinda kweminyaka emihlanu yomhlaza wekolon aqhekezwa ngokwamanqanaba. Abaqhele ukuthathela ingqalelo ezinye izinto ezithile, ezinje ngebakala, umakishi weECA, okanye iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zonyango.

Umzekelo, ugqirha wakho unokucebisa isicwangciso sonyango esahlukileyo kunomnye umntu onomdlavuza wekolon. Indlela abantu abaphendula ngayo kunyango iyahluka kakhulu. Zombini ezi zinto zichaphazela iziphumo.

Okokugqibela, amaxabiso okusinda komhlaza wekolon anokudideka kwaye acaphukise. Ngenxa yeso sizathu, abanye abantu bakhetha ukungathethi ngokuxela kwangaphambili okanye ixesha lokuphila kunye nogqirha wabo. Ukuba ufuna ukwazi iziphumo eziqhelekileyo zomhlaza wakho, thetha nogqirha wakho.

Ukuba awufuni ukuxoxa ngayo, yazisa ugqirha wakho. Gcina ukhumbula ukuba la manani zizikhokelo ngokubanzi kwaye azinakho ukuqikelela imeko yakho okanye isiphumo.
