Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is a form of cancer that affects the large intestine and the rectum, and is the third most common type of cancer worldwide. It is caused by the abnormal accumulation and growth of cells in the lining of the intestines and rectum, leading to an uncontrolled growth of tissue. Common symptoms of colorectal cancer include rectal bleeding, anemia, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel habits. If caught early, colorectal cancer can be managed with surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of all three. With early diagnosis and treatment, the probability of successful recovery is highly improved. Colorectal cancer is preventable by adopting healthy lifestyles such as regular physical activity, eating a balanced diet, and refraining from cigarette and alcohol use.
