Getting to the bottom of bowel cancer

What is bowel cancer?

Bowel cancer is cancer of the colon or rectum and it arises from changes to cells that line

the bowel. These changes are slow to develop and it can take 10 years before the cell changes

produce a polyp, a wart like growth, which may, over time, turn out to be cancerous.

Key facts

• Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer affecting both men and women in the UK.

• Every year over 34,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK.

• Over 80% of all people in the UK who develop bowel cancer are over 60 years old, but

there are a growing number of younger people living with the disease.

What are the symptoms?

• Changes in bowel habits.

• Passing blood or mucus with the faeces.

• Unexplained tiredness and loss of weight.

• Pain or lump in the abdomen.

Treatment

Treatment for most bowel cancers will involve some form of surgery which, depending

on the position and stage of the disease can be successful in eradicating the tumour.

Chemotherapy may also be prescribed.

Reducing the risk

Diet: Eat a diet high in fibre and fresh fruit and vegetables, and drink plenty of water to

prevent constipation.

Exercise: Studies have shown that taking regular exercise can reduce your risk of

developing bowel cancer by up to 40%.

Keep looking: Recognise your own toilet habits

and any unusual changes that occur and don’t ever

feel embarrassed about going to the doctor. Early

diagnosis and treatment will be best at controlling

and curing the disease.

Lung cancer

What is lung cancer?

Lung cancer is a life-threatening disease because it often spreads to other parts of the body

and can be difficult to treat. Many lung cancers start in the cells lining the bronchi and often

take many years to develop. It is mostly associated with smoking.

There are two types of primary lung cancer: small cell (sometimes called ‘oat cell’ because of

the cell shape) and non-small cell (of which there are three types).

Key facts

• According to Macmillan Cancer Support, 38 000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in

the UK every year.

• Cancer Research UK states that lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the UK.

• More men than women are diagnosed with lung cancer.

• Smoking is the main cause of lung cancer. Around 90% of all lung cancers are caused by smoking.

• Other causes of lung cancer are passive smoking (breathing in other people’s smoke), air

pollution from cars, factories and other sources, working with asbestos (sometimes used in

building works) and having other lung diseases.

• The longer you have smoked, the more likely you are to develop lung cancer.

What are the symptoms?

• A cough that does not go away. • Feeling tired all the time.

• Coughing up phlegm or blood. • Losing weight/loss of appetite.

• Being breathless.

Treatment

Treatment for lung cancer includes one or more of the following – surgery (mainly to remove

the tumour and some of the lung tissue around it), radiotherapy (if the person is not well

enough to have surgery, or to remove small areas of cancer that can’t be seen or removed

during surgery) and chemotherapy (the main treatment for small cell lung cancer).

Reducing the risk

Stop smoking: As soon as you stop smoking, your risk of developing lung cancer reduces.

According to Cancer Research UK, 15 years after you have stopped smoking, your lung cancer

risk is almost the same as a non-smoker.

Diet: Research suggests that eating a healthy diet, packed with fresh fruit and vegetables may

help lower the risk of developing lung cancer as they contain chemicals that can prevent cell

damage. Advice is also that you should try and cut down on your salt, sugar and fat intake.

Fruit and vegetables are good for you

Fruit and vegetables are an essential part of a healthy and balanced diet. This is because they are packed full of vitamins, minerals and fibre that help protect the body from illness.

However, eating more fruit and vegetables will not just benefit us in the short term. Increased fruit and vegetable consumption will help reduce fat intake and help you maintain a healthy weight, therefore lowering the risk of becoming obese in later life.

The government recommends we eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day to reduce the risk of developing diseases such as cancer and heart disease, amongst others. Eating a variety of fruit and vegetables could reduce your risk of developing such illnesses by up to 20%.

The good news is that it couldn’t be easier to get your five portions. For example, you could top your wholegrain toast with mashed banana at breakfast or you could have a mixed fruit smoothie as a mid-morning drink. How about swapping your bag of crisps for carrot sticks at lunch and instead of a chocolate bar from the tuck shop, try a handful of dried fruit. And for dinner, why not include a portion of salad with your lasagne, instead of garlic bread. It really is as simple as that.

Remember, fresh, frozen, tinned, dried and bottled fruit and vegetables all count as one of your portions, so there are no excuses.

So, what are you waiting for? Start packing your body full of nutritious vitamins and minerals today and reduce your risk of developing diet related diseases.
