¿Qué es el cáncer colorrectal? - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: El cáncer en el intestino grueso se llama cáncer colorrectal. Las partes del intestino grueso son el colon, el recto y el canal anal. La mayoría de los casos de cáncer colorrectal comienza en el colón en pequeños grupos de células, llamados pólipos. La mayoría de los pólipos son benignos, lo que significa que contienen células anormales que no son cancerosas y no se diseminarán al resto del cuerpo. Solo están presentes en la delgada capa de tejido que recubre el interior del intestino. Si las células anormales se convierten en células cancerosas, el pólipo puede agrandarse e invadir más profundamente la pared del intestino grueso. Si no se trata, las células cancerosas pueden ingresar al torrente sanguíneo y diseminarse a los ganglios linfáticos cercanos. Con el tiempo, estas células pueden llegar a otros órganos y formar más tumores. Existe mayor riesgo de contraer cáncer colorrectal si: tiene antecedentes familiares de cáncer colorrectal, tiene pólipos de colon, tiene 50 años o más, es obeso, fuma cigarrillos, no realiza actividad física, bebe demasiado alcohol, o tiene una enfermedad que inflama el colon, como colitis ulcerosa o enfermedad de Crohn. Los síntomas del cáncer colorrectal pueden incluir: un cambio en los hábitos intestinales, como diarrea, estreñimiento o heces más delgadas de lo normal, sangre roja u oscura brillante en las heces, sentirse incapaz de vaciar el intestino, dolor de vientre, hinchazón o calambres, pérdida de peso sin motivo, sentirse débil o muy cansado y vómitos. Es importante saber que estos síntomas pueden ser causados por afecciones distintas al cáncer de colon, y es posible tener cáncer colorrectal sin presentar ningún síntoma, especialmente en las primeras etapas. Si tiene preguntas sobre el cáncer colorrectal, hable con su proveedor de atención médica.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"This past year, your company prepared three medical illustrations for our cases; two in which we received six figure awards; one in which we received a substantial seven figure award. I believe in large part, the amounts obtained were due to the vivid illustrations of my clients' injuries and the impact on the finder of fact."

"I would like to thank all of you at Medical Legal Art for all the assistance you provided. It was a result of the excellent, timely work that we were able to conclude the case successfully.

I feel very confident that our paths will cross again."

"Medical illustrations are essential evidence in personal injury litigation and MLA is simply the best I've found at producing high-quality illustrations. Your illustrators are not only first-class artists, but creative and responsive. Your turn around time is as good as it gets. My clients have won over $60 million in jury verdicts and I can't recall a case which did not include one of your exhibits. On behalf of those clients, thanks and keep up the great work!"

"Medical illustrations are essential during trial for any medical malpractice case. The people at MLA have the uncanny ability of creating medical illustrations that simplify the most complex of medical concepts and human anatomy to a lay audience. The exhibits of MLA allow experts to easily describe complex concepts and human anatomy in a manner that could not be done otherwise.

In addition, their custom illustrations show in great detail the extent of injuries suffered and the devastating effects they have had on the client's anatomy. These custom illustration can show, side by side, the body before and after a catastrophic injury. The effect of this juxtaposition is unmatched by any testimony that can be adduced at the time of trial.

Even jurors after trial have commented on the ease with which they grasp medical concepts and anatomy once the MLA exhibits were introduced and used by my experts. Even judges who have "seen it all" are thoroughly impressed by the detail and sophistication of the illustrations.

I would not want to try a case without them."
