The terminal stage, on average, lasts about a year. In this case, the general condition of the patient is aggravated. With hepatitis, cholesterol decreases, but ascites and edema may develop. The terminal stage occurs with episodes of hepatic encephalopathy, with extensive bleeding from the veins of the esophagus, which are varicose-enlarged.

Colon cancer The etiology of colon cancer has not yet been fully studied. But there are a number of factors that contribute to its appearance. The risk of colon cancer is higher in people who eat red meat daily, it also matters how the food is processed and whether carcinogens are used.
If there are polyps in the colon, the risk of developing cancer increases. Another risk factor is heredity. If there have been cases of cancer in the family, then it is worth examining once a year by qualified doctors.
Signs Signs of colon cancer include: stool, bleeding in the intestines, abdominal pain, false urge to defecate.
Intestinal bleeding is present in all patients diagnosed with cancer. At the initial stage, all these signs may not be noted. The terminal stage of cancer is accompanied by anemia, pallor of the skin, rapid fatigue.

Diagnosis and treatment.
Diagnosis of colon cancer is not difficult, now there are many ways to determine this type of disease. Such methods can detect cancer in more than 60% of patients, which makes it possible to start treatment on time.
With malignant formations, drug treatment will not help, in this case only surgical intervention. Sometimes emergency surgery is required in case of a threat to the patient’s life, for example, when diffuse bleeding has opened.
In addition to surgery, cancer is being fought with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Moreover, all types of treatment can be carried out in a combined form.
Future.
The future of a cancer patient depends on the stage. In the first stages, the patient can live at least 5 years after treatment. As the cancer stage increases, the results worsen.
