Understanding It

Understanding Colon Cancer

Colon cancer develops in the large intestine, usually from polyps that grow over time. Accurate staging guides the most effective treatment.

1

Precancerous Polyps

Removed during colonoscopy before they can turn into cancer, which is why screening is so valuable.

2

Early-Stage Cancer

Localized tumors are often cured with minimally invasive surgery alone and an excellent prognosis.

3

Advanced Disease

More advanced tumors are treated with surgery combined with chemotherapy, coordinated for the best outcome.

Symptoms & Risk

Symptoms and Risk Factors

Warning signs include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal cramping, unexplained fatigue or anemia, and unintended weight loss. Early colon cancer often has no symptoms at all, which is why screening is essential.

Risk factors include age over 45, a family or personal history of colorectal cancer or polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and inherited syndromes. A screening colonoscopy is the single most effective way to prevent the disease or catch it early.
