  • Colorectal Cancer Part 6: Chemotherapy for the Elderly -- Is It Worth It?
    The difference of benefits between chemotherapy and no chemotherapy was 7%. This benefit of increased survival comes with toxic side effects. While the younger patients might be able to tolerate the side effects, I wonder if the elderly would want to go through such “sufferings.” To the oncologists and researchers, the results were “statistically significant,” but from the viewpoint of patients, I wonder if it worth it?
  • Colorectal Cancer Part 5: Review of Medical Literature: Not All Patients Benefit From Chemotherapy
    After surgery, microscopic cancer cells are still left behind in the body. As an “insurance policy” patients are told by their oncologists to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy (or both). The idea is to kill whatever cancer cells are left behind. But how effective is this? How valid is the assumption that chemotherapy can just do that?
  • Colorectal Cancer Part 4: A Story of How a Patient is Being Misled by His Oncologist
    I am not against chemotherapy per se. I must say, however, that I am not agreeable to the “indiscriminate” use of chemotherapy. Even more so, if the cards have not been laid out clearly on the table. Unfortunately in some cases, patients are being misled. This is one sad story of how a patient was taken for a “ride” by his oncologist.
  • Colorectal Cancer Part 3: Must You Die if You Do Not Undergo Chemotherapy After Surgery?
    It is a standard practice or golden rule so to say, that after surgery, patients are asked to undergo chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. Sometime, when the doctor does not think chemotherapy is indicated, the patients themselves do not feel safe. Think seriously about these two real life stories presented here.
  • Colorectal Cancer Part 2: Medical or Herbal Treatment?
    The primary therapy for colorectal cancer is surgery. At an early stage, surgery cures it. However, more often than not, doctors would refer patients to the oncologists for chemotherapy. 5-FU is the gold standard agent used in chemotherapy. Bob’s dad was diagnosed with colon cancer. He declined chemotherapy and opted for herbs instead. He changed his lifestyle and diet. It has been nine years and he is doing fine.
  • Colorectal Cancer Part 1: Some Basic Facts You May Want to Know
    Colorectal cancer is said to be the fourth most common cancer worldwide. It is second only to lung cancer as a cause of death from cancer in the US. Dietary factors are considered to be responsible for 80% to 90% of all cases of colorectal cancer.
