what type of colon cancer did cory aquino had. and what type of surgeries did she undergone?

thanks

Former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino was diagnosed first with ordinary colon but her health had become so delicate due to the spread of her cancer from the colon to the liver.Due to that, she could’t undergo chemotherapy. The colorectal cancer suffered by her was a regular cancer and there nothing is mentioned specially.

I looking for a website on colon cancer

The first answer is incomplete. There are actually many types of actual colon cancer depending on the tissue type they form from. Some are less malignant than others.

The usual type of tumor labeled "colon cancer" arises from the lining of the colon and is either adenocarcinoma (glandular) or mucinous carcinoma (from mucin cells). Other types of tumor arises from the various components of the wall of the colon.....lipoma (fat), GIST or leiomyoma (from the smooth muscle in the wall), lymphoma (from the white blood cells in the wall), or somethign called carcinoid tumor (from the neuroendocrine cells of the GI tract). This just scratches the surface of the subdivisions of the GI tumors.

Some are more common in certain parts of the GI tract, and for the most part, when people talk about colon cancer it will be either adeno or mucinous carcinoma.

How might fiber help to prevent some types of colon cancer?

The diet of the western world is devoid in many things, especially fibre. Fibre, in effect, scrubs the walls of the intestines and the colon as it works its way through the digestive tract.
The things we westerners eat are loaded with processed food chemicals, fats, sodiums, preservatives, and who knows what else.
If we don't eat a diet with proper nutrients and fibrous ingredients, then these poorly digested items gather in the walls of our guts.
I just had a golf ball sized tumour removed from my colon and it was pre-cancerous. Another month or even a week and I might have gotten cancer. I have a very poor diet due to extreme gastroparesis of the stomach, and can't handle much fibre without bad effects.
I've had my wake up call.

She is having a stent fitted tomorrow to stop her bowel closing. I also heard the word metastatic used. Can anyone give me any information or links for this type of cancer?

Metastatic means the cancer has spread from its original location and colon cancer only starts in the colon. Typically stents are not used in these situations. The part of the colon involved with the tumor needs to be removed and if she has a single liver lesion they may remove that as well. I am sorry to tell you, but metastatic colon cancer is not curable. Treatment at this point is to extend life with the best quality possible. I am very sorry.

is it necessary to do the colonscopy?

yes, colon cancer cannot be diagnosed by barium enema, that tells the doctors nothing specific. The colonoscopy is needed to do a biopsy to see if it is really colon cancer and whether you will need surgury
