COLON CANCER

Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. It usually begins as small, noncancerous clumps of cells called polyps, which can eventually develop into cancer. Risk factors for colon cancer include age, family history, inflammatory bowel disease, diet high in red or processed meats, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, smoking, and heavy alcohol use. Screening tests such as colonoscopies can help detect colon cancer early when it’s most treatable. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, depending on the stage and severity of the cancer. Early detection and prompt treatment are essential for improving outcomes and survival rates. It’s important to discuss screening options and any concerns with a healthcare provider.
