患者因慢性腎臟病長期追蹤,回診時表示腹部持續悶痛已超過10天,腎臟科醫師抽血檢查發現血紅素偏低,進一步安排大腸鏡檢查發現大腸病灶,轉由大腸直腸外科團隊手術切除,術後病理報告證實為大腸腺癌。
75歲林姓婦人因慢性腎臟病長期追蹤,近日回診表示腹部持續悶痛已10多天,腎臟科醫師抽血檢查發現血紅素偏低,進一步安排大腸鏡檢查後,赫然發現大腸病灶,轉由大腸直腸外科團隊接手進行手術切除,術後病理報告證實為大腸腺癌,所幸及時發現切除,術後恢復良好,持續於門診追蹤中。
仁愛長庚合作聯盟醫院腎臟科醫師林威表示,患者門診後安排抽血檢查,結果血紅素為7.1 g/dL(正常值約12.0-16.0),明顯低於正常值,考量不明原因貧血可能潛藏慢性出血或消化道腫瘤,隨即安排糞便潛血檢查,並建議接受胃腸道檢查,果然揪出大腸病灶。
大腸直腸外科醫師及外科部主任盧建璋表示,大腸癌早期症狀不明顯,部分病人出現疲倦、貧血、食慾下降、體重減輕、腹部不適或排便習慣改變等非典型症狀,容易被忽略。尤其高齡族群若出現不明原因貧血,更應提高警覺接受檢查找出潛在病因。
盧建璋指出,大腸腺癌約占所有大腸癌病例9成以上,多由大腸黏膜細胞異常增生或息肉逐漸演變而成。因癌前病變發展至癌症往往需要數年時間,若能及早發現並處理息肉,便有機會在癌症形成前加以防範。因此,定期接受糞便潛血檢查及大腸鏡檢查,對於防範及早期發現大腸癌具有重要意義。
家醫科醫師林俊佑表示,許多消化道癌症在早期幾乎沒有症狀,等到出現明顯不適時,病情往往已進展至較嚴重階段。尤其50歲以上民眾、有大腸癌或胃癌家族史者、長期抽菸飲酒者,以及出現不明原因貧血、腹痛、消化不良、食慾下降、體重減輕或排便習慣改變等症狀者,應主動接受專業醫師評估,必要時安排胃鏡及大腸鏡檢查。
林俊佑提醒,健康檢查不只是發現疾病,更是預防疾病的重要方式,透過定期胃腸鏡檢查及癌症篩檢,有機會在疾病尚未造成明顯症狀前發現和治療,降低癌症對健康與生活品質的影響。
