Colon Cancer is a significant Health concern that affects millions of people worldwide. As we age, the risk of developing this type of cancer increases, making it particularly relevant for the baby Boomer Generation. Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the colon or rectum. This cancer often begins as benign polyps, which can eventually turn malignant if not detected and removed early. There are several types of colon cancer, with adenocarcinomas being the most common. Understanding the basics of this disease is the first step in combating it and our Experts in this area of the site explore how colon cancer can effect us.
The symptoms of colon cancer can vary depending on the stage of the disease. In its early stages, colon cancer might not cause any noticeable symptoms, which is why it is often referred to as a “silent killer.” However, some early signs can include changes in bowel habits, such as persistent diarrhea or constipation, and blood in the stool. There are several screening methods available to detect colon cancer, including stool tests, which check for blood or abnormal DNA in the stool, and imaging tests like CT colonography. These screenings can detect polyps and cancer early, often before symptoms appear.
