What is Colorectal Cancer?
Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the colon or rectum, which are parts of the large intestine. Colon cancer begins in the colon, while rectal cancer develops in the rectum. Many colorectal cancers start as small, non-cancerous growths called polyps that can become cancerous over time if left untreated.
Early diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. When detected in its initial stages, colorectal cancer is highly treatable and often associated with excellent outcomes. Regular screening and timely consultation can significantly improve survival rates.
Common Symptoms of Colorectal Cancer
Blood in Stool
Visible or hidden blood in the stool should always be evaluated by a specialist.
Change in Bowel Habits
Persistent constipation, diarrhea, or alternating bowel patterns may indicate underlying concerns.
Persistent Abdominal Pain
Ongoing abdominal discomfort, cramps, or bloating should not be ignored.
Unexplained Weight Loss
Sudden and unintentional weight loss can sometimes be a warning sign of cancer.
Fatigue
Persistent tiredness or weakness may occur due to anemia or chronic blood loss.
Feeling of Incomplete Bowel Emptying
A constant urge to pass stool even after using the restroom may require further evaluation.
