Prognosis

Prognosis

Prognosis is the long-term outlook or survival after therapy. Overall, about 50% of patients treated for colon cancer survive the disease. As expected, the survival rates are dependent upon the stage of the cancer at the time of diagnosis, making early detection a very worthwhile endeavor.
About 15% of patients present with stage I disease and 85-90% survive. Stage II represents 20-30% of cases and 65-75% survive. 30-40% comprise the stage III presentation of which 55% survive. The remaining 20-25% present with stage IV disease and are very rarely cured.

Alternative and complementary therapies
Alternative therapies have not been studied in a large-scale, scientific way. Large doses of vitamins, fiber, and green tea are among therapies tried. Avoiding cigarettes and alcohol may be helpful. Before initiating any alternative therapies, the patient is wise to consult his/her physician to be sure that these therapies do not complicate or interfere with the established therapy.

Coping with cancer treatment

For those with familial syndromes causing colon cancer, genetic counseling may be appropriate. Psychological counseling may be appropriate for anyone having trouble coping with a potentially fatal disease. Local cancer support groups may be helpful and are often identified by contacting local hospitals or the American Cancer Society.
The Colon Cancer Alliance offers internet online support at the following web page: <http://www.ccalliance.org/connect/support.html>.

Clinical trials

Clinical trials are scientific studies in which new therapies are compared to current standards in an effort to identify therapies that give better results.
Agents being tested for efficacy in patients with advanced disease include oxaliplatin and CPT-11. Please see reference below for current information available from the National Cancer Institute regarding these clinical trials.

THE COLON Lavage SESSION

A typical colon Lavage session lasts approximately 25-45 minutes and uses approximately 12 gallons of water. A small speculum is attached to a plastic hose which connects to the Angel of Water®; the other end of the speculum is inserted into the patient's rectum. Volume and temperature of the water is preset within the unit with numerous safety features preventing possible excessive temperatures or volume of water from entering the patient's rectum. The Angel of Water® creates an integrated clinical setting affording the patient both privacy and dignity and the practitioner ease-of-use. It is an ergonomic, open lounge system that allows for the patient to recline in comfort and to release the contents of the colon and bladder at will. It uses a single-use, sterile rectal nozzle. Tempered water is treated with both ultraviolet and carbon filtration. The Angel of Water® is available in both 115 and 220 volt models.


Thermostat Controls Water Temperature

Before beginning a session, a patient sits with a trained colon hydro therapist for an interview to get a full picture of the patient’s health, medical history and discover any possible contraindications for the procedure. A licensed healthcare provider will typically assess your blood pressure, pulse, SPO2 and lung sounds at regular intervals before, during and after your session, to be certain the you are in stable condition where the evacuation of the colon will not exacerbate an already tenuous condition.

Under the direction and supervision of a licensed healthcare provider (check out The Colon Therapist Nursing Foundation) the patient positions himself comfortably on the device. The patient removes their lower garments and lounges over the collection basin, inserting the lubricated rectal nozzle (about the diameter of a pencil). Then the patient drapes a hospital gown over the lower half of their body and calls the therapist back in the room to start the water flow.

The patient's colon is filled with water to individual tolerance throughout the session inducing peristaltic contractions in the colon, expelling fecal matter out of the anus around the speculum into the Angel of Water® basin and through a clear plastic viewing tube. Colon Lavage is generally a very safe procedure and The patient at times may feel abdominal cramping or slight nausea depending on the severity of fecal impaction. At no point during the session should the patient experience pain, dizziness, weakness or loss of consciousness if such an event should occur the session should be stopped as it may be a sign of an underlying medical ailment that may have worsened during the session.

While the patient is receiving the colon treatment, the colon hydro therapist may lightly massage various parts of the abdomen to help loosen and dislodge areas of fecal impaction. The patient is monitored throughout the session with regular assessments conducted in person by the hydro therapist, through closed system video monitoring (purchased separately) or through an intercom system (purchased separately) allowing the patient to speak to the therapist when and if needed. Depending on the patient's condition the supervising licensed healthcare practitioner will instruct the therapist on how the session should be monitored. Some sessions can be periodically checked visually while others need direct physical observation at all times.

The procedure can be stopped at anytime by the therapist or the patient by turning the FLOW switch OFF, and easing oneself off the speculum.


Easily Accessible Flow Switch

At session end the patient can slide themselves off the nozzle and bath themselves using the personal shower sprayer on the side of the basin. They can then towel dry and meet with the colon therapist who will discuss post-procedure diet recommendations, perform a brief assessment of the patient’s status and provide follow up instructions.
