Understanding Colon Cancer
Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. It usually begins as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called polyps that can develop into cancer over time. Early detection and timely treatment are crucial in improving outcomes for patients diagnosed with colon cancer.
