The most deathly disease shared among men and women-Colon cancer. “We are what we eat.”:Dietitian. How to take care of your Colon health?

The colon is part of the body’s digestive system. The digestive system removes and processes nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water) from foods and helps pass waste material out of the body. The digestive system is made up of the esophagus, stomach, and the small and large intestines. The first 6 feet of the large intestine are called the large bowel or colon. The last 6 inches are the rectum and the anal canal. The anal canal ends at the anus (the opening of the large intestine to the outside of the body).

Cancer, bowel drugs on FDA safety scrutiny list

More than a dozen drugs including a cancer therapy and a bowel medicine are under early scrutiny for potential side effects, U.S. regulators said in a quarterly list released on Thursday.

The Food and Drug Administration said it was investigating cases of liver failure in patients treated with Pfizer Inc’s cancer drug Sutent. The agency also is reviewing gastrointestinal perforation reported with Relistor, a drug from Wyeth and Progenics Pharmaceuticals for treating opioid-induced constipation.

Appearing on the list “means that FDA has identified a potential safety issue, but does not mean that FDA has identified a causal relationship between the drug and the listed risk,” the agency said.

The FDA releases a quarterly list of safety probes as part of an effort to inform the public about early investigations of potential side effects that have been reported. The list released on Thursday covers issues identified between January and March 2009.

Pfizer said in a statement it would “work with the FDA to assess the reports (on Sutent) and determine a path forward.”

In clinical trials, liver failure was seen in less than 1 percent of patients with solid tumors who were treated with Sutent, the company said.

“We stand behind the safety and efficacy of Sutent,” Pfizer said. The drug is approved for treating advanced kidney cancer and a digestive cancer known as gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
