Intestinal Colon

And how does one get screened for Intestinal cancer?

Colon cancer runs in my family and I have a colonoscopy every year. But I found out that a close relative has Intestinal cancer.

As other peole pointed out, "colon" cancer is a cancer specific of the large intestin, whereas "intestinal" cancer could affect any part of the intestine (including the small intestine, i.e. duodenum, ileum and jujenum).

If colon cancer runs in your family, you are likely to have FAP, or Familial adenomatous polyposis, an inherited colorectal cancer syndrome. People with the classic type of familial adenomatous polyposis may begin to develop multiple noncancerous (benign) polyps (growths) in the colon as early as their teenage years.
This cancer usually develops in the lower part of the digestive system, including the large intestine (colon) and rectum. However, the FAP syndrome could present a risk factor for the cancer of the small intestine (what your relative might have), therefore this person could also carry the genetic mutation that confers cancer predisposition (the APC gene, in the case of FAP).

The ad says the average man has several pounds of undigested waste product caked onto their colon like spackle.

Yuck ! I want that stuff off of there ! - Do these products work ?

This is junk, if we had several pounds of junk stuck in our intestine or colon, we would all be walking around with obstructions. You have peristalic movements that keeps things moving in one direction. The purifying enema has been around for a hundred years or more. Old snake oil......

No such thing. No valid medical benefit to this practice. Just a lot of myth and medical quackery.

I have always been good about cleansing, and stopped because i got sick of going to the bathroom 4-5 times a day. shortly thereafter, i started getting acne. it won't go away no matter what I do. Should I start cleansing again?

Yes, you took something that stirrred up the toxins in your system and are probably just trying to find a way to eliminate itself, so they are coming out through your skin.

Pls enumerate all the parts. My instructor said that everything should be comprehensive.I would appreciate it if somebody could answer this question. thank you.

1. first and foremost the ramining descending colon
2. simoid colon
3. rectum
4. then finaly the anus
these are the sites affected when you have an obstruction in the descended colon. naturally, there will be abdominal distention due to trapped intestinal contents like food and air..
