	Colon Cancer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The transverse colon is attached to the posterior abdominal wall by a mesentery, which is a double layer of connective tissue through which blood vessels travel on their way to supplying blood to the colon.
		The descending colon is like the ascending colon in that it too is firmly fixed to the posterior abdominal wall, while the sigmoid colon and transverse colon hang on a mesentery within the abdomen.
		Colon Cancer staging is based on 3 factors: The level of penetration of the tumor through the bowel wall, involvement of draining lymph nodes, and presence of metastasis to the liver or other organs or involvement of contiguous structures adjacent to the bowel.

	Colon cancer
		Cancer of the colon is the disease characterized by the development of malignant cells in the lining or epithelium of the first and longest portion of the large intestine.
		Physiologically, the colon is responsible for the preservation of fluid and electrolytes as it propels the increasingly solid waste towards the rectum and anus for excretion.
		Causes of colon cancer are probably environmental in the sporadic cases (80%) and genetic in the heredity predisposed cases (20%).

		It is generally maintained that this valve prevents reflux from the cecum into the ileum, but in all probability it acts as a sphincter around the end of the ileum and prevents the contents of the ileum from passing too quickly into the cecum.
		It is retained in contact with the posterior wall of the abdomen by the peritoneum, which covers its anterior surface and sides, its posterior surface being connected by loose areolar tissue with the Iliacus, Quadratus lumborum, aponeurotic origin of Transversus abdominis, and with the front of the lower and lateral part of the right kidney.
		In fourteen subjects there was a mesocolon to both the ascending and the descending segments of the bowel; while in the remaining twelve there was an ascending mesocolon, but no corresponding fold on the left side.

	Colon polyp symptoms, diagnosis and treatment on MedicineNet.com
		Knowing that colon polyps grow and go on to become cancerous and knowing how common they are, screening guidelines have been set by the American Cancer Society to minimize the risk of colon cancer by detecting and removing polyps.
		Thus, an early warning sign for colon polyps could be the presence of occult blood in the stool.
		If adenomatous polyps are detected with sigmoidoscopy, then a full colonoscopy with a longer tube (four to five feet) should be used to inspect the entire length of the colon.
