Cancer colon

Cancer of the colon, also known as colorectal cancer, is a type of cancer that begins in the large intestine (colon) or the rectum (the end of the colon). It is one of the most common types of cancer and is usually found in people over the age of 50. Symptoms of colorectal cancer include abdominal pain, blood in the stool, changes in bowel habits, and unexplained weight loss. Treatment for colorectal cancer depends on the stage and may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Early detection and treatment can help improve the chance of successful treatment.
