According to studies conducted by researchers from the University of Granada, colon cancer patients are more vulnerable to chronic pain.
Research has also revealed that colon cancer survivors are more vulnerable to suffer from lesions related with back and lower abdominal pain as compared to healthy individuals of the same age and gender.
The wall structure of the abdomen (surgery site for oncological treatment) in colon cancer patients presents a sequence of abnormalities. They may even develop some pre-determined abnormalities in chronic pain processing which may result in sensitization to all types of pain in the future.
Colon cancer has been ranked as the third most common cancer in the world. Modern age advances in oncological treatment technologies have increased the survival rates for patients. Survival rates have risen to a significantly in recent years (44% and 65%).
Oncological treatment can be very difficult for patients physically and psychologically. Although termed as 'cancer survivors', they had paid a huge price for their survival. Colon cancer survivors have shown a considerable deterioration of their functional capacity as compared to healthy individuals of a similar age and gender. Cancer survivors can have a reduced overall capacity to carry out normal day to day tasks and activities.
Patients are advised to get ample physical rest during oncologic treatments. The recovery period can extend for several months. This leads to a gradual decline in overall daily function. Muscle weakness such as back muscle strength and up to 60 percent deterioration of cardiorespiratory capacity is common among patients as compared to healthy individuals of the same gender and age.
Colon cancer patients also experience symptoms such as fatigue. This is due to the illness. Physical abnormalities experienced by these patients have a significant impact on their quality of life. Colon cancer patients can experience up to a 40% reduction in daily activities when compared to individuals of the same age and gender (not affected by cancer).
Special physiotherapy programs and other treatments aimed at improving these physical issues can help colon cancer patients regain their quality of life.
