Colon cancer and cancer of the rectum


Colon cancer and cancer of the rectum usually begin as a small polyp. While most colon polyps are benign, some do become cancerous. Colon cancer symptoms may include a change in bowel habits or bleeding, but usually colon cancer strikes without symptoms.

If the cancer is found early, the doctor can use surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy for effective treatment
