A 65-year-old obese African American male patient presents to his HCP with crampy left lower quadrant pain, constipation, and fevers to 101˚ F. He has had multiple episodes like this one over the past 15 years and they always responded to bowel rest and oral antibiotics. He has refused to have the recommended colonoscopy even with his history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (diverticulitis), sedentary lifestyle, and a diet lacking in fiber. His paternal grandfather died of colon cancer back in the 1950s as well. He finally underwent colonoscopy after his acute diverticulitis resolved. Colonoscopy revealed multiple polyps that were retrieved, and the pathology was positive for adenocarcinoma of the colon. Develop a 1- to 2-page case study analysis in which you: ¢ Explain why you think the patient presented the symptoms described. ¢ Identify the genes that may be associated with the development of the disease. ¢ Explain the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems. USE THREE PEER REVIEWED ARTICLES BETWEEN 2015 TO 2020 AND THE REQUIRED TEXT BOOK and YOU TUBE VIDEO IN WRITING ESSAY, USE APA FORMAT.
