Symptoms And Prevention of Colon Cancer

 The tricky thing with this condition is that it does not show any significant symptoms in the early stages. Only when cancer grows and spreads to other organs, which is stage-3 usually, it exhibits the symptoms.

However, here are a few common symptoms which people suffering from this condition generally experience: 

  • A continuous change in bowel habits
  • Frequent diarrhoea and constipation
  • Blood in stool or rectal bleeding
  • Chronic gas, pain or cramps in stomach
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Unexplained weight loss

Prevent Colon Cancer

Regular screenings are the only way to stay aware & take precautionary measures to prevent the non-cancerous polyp to turn into colon cancer. People with a family history or risk factors must go for yearly screenings to stay aware of their health. Also, change in lifestyle and diet hugely decreases the chances of developing the condition. Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to boost the shield of immunity against this condition. Quit smoking & drinking and exercise regularly to help decrease the chances of developing colon cancer.

HMZ Laboratories, being a unique alliance between Hero Cycles, Millennium cancer centre & Zyagnum AG is highly committed to the cause of cancer elimination through early detection & screenings. They are the most enthusiastic & curious team who are not leaving any stones unturned in making new developments and discoveries in cancer research. One such recent advancement made by them is an innovative cancer diagnosis method which detects solid tumours using a ‘simple blood test’. The test makes use of a unique EDIM technology for accurate detection or diagnosis.

The EDIM technology is regarded as a ‘Biological Biopsy’ as it helps to examine the macrophages in the bloodstream itself. What makes the technique revolutionary is the quick & effective detection of solid tumours, even at stage 0.

Chadwick Boseman’s Death Highlights The Importance Of Early Colon Cancer Screening


Cancer has taken our beloved “Black Panther” away from us. Marvel Studio’s Black Panther fame actor Chadwick Boseman died of colon cancer at an early age of 43 years. Reportedly, he was diagnosed with stage-3 colon cancer, 4 years back and battled through all these 4 years as the condition progressed to stage-4. These 4 years were not easy for him either as he had undergone many surgeries and chemotherapy during this period. His death puts a highlight on the importance of early screening for colon cancer.
