Virtual NLS-graphy Through 9D NLS For Colon Cancer

Colon cancer holds 2nd – 3rd place in the structure of oncological diseases in Republic of Korea and 2nd place in structure of the world’s mortality rate from oncological diseases. Only in 2009 there were 15379 cases of colorectal cancer and 5218 deaths due to this pathology registered. Risk of cancer development grows with age in both men and women. In should be noted that 75% of carcinomas develop in patients belonging to average risk group, who have no predisposing causes. Starting from the 80’s of the last century a certain decreasing of mortality rate from colorectal cancer was registered and starting from the 90’s a situation with disease incidence settled. Five year survival rate increased approximately by 12% in the last 15-20 years. It is somewhat related to well-timed detection and elimination of polyps. Only 39% of carcinomas are registered at the stage when a tumor is located within the limits of intestinal wall, and about 20% of patients already have separate metastases at the moment of colon tumor diagnosing for the first time.

Development of colorectal cancer may be prevented by well-timed detection and elimination of polyps.

Choosing of examination methods for colorectal cancer screening depends not only on reliability and accuracy of results, but patient’s trust to selected method, their inclination to undergo the examination also.

The virtual NLS-graphy through 9D NLS can be one the method in revealing of neoplasms in colon and introduction of this method as a possibility for colorectal cancer screening.
