Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer develops in the colon or rectum, which form the final part of the digestive system. It most commonly affects older adults, especially those with a family history of colon cancer, though it can occur at any age.

The disease usually begins as small, non-cancerous growths called polyps on the inner lining of the colon. Over time, some of these polyps may become cancerous. In the early stages, polyps often cause no noticeable symptoms, which is why regular screening tests are strongly recommended. Early detection and removal of polyps can significantly reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

If colorectal cancer is diagnosed, several treatment options are available depending on the stage and condition of the patient. These may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted medical treatments. With timely diagnosis and appropriate care, colorectal cancer can be effectively managed and treated.
