Colon Cancer Treatment in Delhi
Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, develops when abnormal cells grow in the lining of the colon (large intestine) or rectum. It often begins as small growths called polyps, which may become cancerous over time if left untreated. Regular screening helps detect these polyps early, significantly improving the chances of successful treatment.
Dr. Archit Pandit, an experienced Colon Cancer Surgeon in Delhi, offers comprehensive colon cancer treatment in Delhi using advanced surgical techniques and a multidisciplinary approach. Depending on the stage and location of the cancer, treatment may include minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or HIPEC for selected advanced cases.
What is Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer starts in the inner lining of the large intestine when healthy cells undergo abnormal changes and grow uncontrollably. Most colon cancers develop slowly over several years from non-cancerous polyps.
Early diagnosis through routine screening and timely treatment can significantly improve survival rates and reduce the need for extensive surgery.
Symptoms of Colon Cancer
Colon cancer may not cause symptoms in its early stages. As the disease progresses, patients may experience:
- Persistent constipation or diarrhoea
- Blood in the stool or rectal bleeding
- Narrow or pencil-thin stools
- A feeling of incomplete bowel emptying
- Persistent abdominal pain, bloating, or gas
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue or weakness
- Loss of appetite
If these symptoms persist for more than two weeks, consult an experienced Colon Cancer Specialist in Delhi for evaluation.

Causes & Risk Factors of Colon Cancer
Several factors may increase the risk of developing colon cancer, including:
- Increasing age (over 50 years)
- Family history of colorectal cancer or polyps
- Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis)
- Diet high in processed and red meat
- Obesity and physical inactivity
- Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
- Type 2 diabetes
- Genetic conditions such as Lynch syndrome or Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP)
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and undergoing regular screening can help lower the risk of colon cancer.
Diagnosis of Colon Cancer
Accurate diagnosis helps determine the stage of cancer and the most suitable treatment plan.
Your evaluation may include:
- Clinical examination and medical history
- Colonoscopy
- Biopsy to confirm cancer
- Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT)
- CT Scan or MRI
- PET-CT Scan (if required)
- Blood tests including tumour markers
Routine colonoscopy remains the most effective test for early detection of colon cancer.
Stages of Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is generally classified into four stages:
Stage I: Cancer is limited to the inner layers of the colon.
Stage II: Cancer has grown through the colon wall but has not spread to lymph nodes.
Stage III: Cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
Stage IV: Cancer has spread to distant organs such as the liver or lungs.
Early-stage colon cancer offers the best chance of successful treatment.
Advanced Treatment Options for Colon Cancer
Treatment depends on the stage, location of the tumour, and the patient’s overall health.
Treatment options may include:
- Colon Cancer Surgery to remove the tumour and nearby lymph nodes.
- Laparoscopic & Robotic Surgery using minimally invasive techniques for selected patients, offering smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.
- HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) for selected patients with advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer involving the abdominal cavity.
- Chemotherapy before or after surgery to destroy cancer cells.
- Radiation Therapy for selected rectal cancer cases.
- Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy for advanced colorectal cancers when clinically indicated.
Every treatment plan is personalised to achieve the best cancer control while preserving bowel function and quality of life.
