9/11 Colon Cancer Lawyer

After the attack on September 11th, many people living and working in the area continued to suffer as they lost loved ones or suffered illness and disease in the aftermath. In response to this suffering, the World Trade Center Health Program was created to help in recovery efforts for those with continued suffering due to illness from the attacks. If you or a loved one suffer from colon cancer, it is advisable to reach out to a 9/11 colon cancer attorney from Pitta & Baione LLP to discuss your claim under the program. You and your family may be eligible for compensation.

Understanding the Risks for Colon Cancer

Colon cancer has many risk factors and potential causes. Some of these risk factors that 9/11 survivors may have more exposure to include:

Exposure to chemicals or radiation
Sedentary lifestyle (suffering from and recovering from other disease or illness)
Radiation from treating other cancers
Inflammatory illnesses

Additional risks include smoking, alcohol use, diet, and obesity.

Symptoms of 9/11 Colon Cancer

Symptoms of colon cancer are more directly related to the affected area than some other diseases, due to location, but still can vary based on how advanced the cancer is and where it is specifically located within the colon. Some common symptoms of colon cancer are:

Changes in bowel movements, including constipation or diarrhea
Blood in the stool
Constant cramps and abdominal pain
Weakness
Fatigue

Diagnosing Colon Cancer as a Result of 9/11

Diagnosing colon cancer usually involves a colonoscopy, in which a camera and tube will go through the colon looking for suspicious areas of the colon. If there are polyps or other areas of concern, the doctor is able to take a biopsy for additional testing. Blood tests can also confirm a diagnosis for colon cancer.

Treatment for Colon Cancer

Treatment for colon cancer varies depending on when the cancer is identified and how much cancer is present. If the cancer is found early, the cancerous tissues can be removed during a colonoscopy or with minor surgery. As the cancer grows, surgery to remove the cancer is more invasive. In more advanced cases, parts of the colon may need to be removed completely, as well as the need for a colostomy in which a hole is made in the abdomen to allow waste to leave the body. A colostomy bag can be temporary or permanent.
