Colon cancer involves the destruction of the epithelial cell layer, by which the effectiveness of absorption of excess water at the colon is greatly reduced. This will lead to diarrhoea has there will be more fluid being egested that the body has failed to absorb. Dehydration and deficiency diseases can then arise. The secretion of folic acid and microorganisms that produce vitamin K is also affected due to the destruction of the cells that secrete them, found in the mucosa of the colon.
