Colorectal Neoplasms

Colorectal neoplasms are abnormal, abnormal-looking clumps of abnormal cells that form in the colon or rectum. They can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can range from very small to very large. Colorectal neoplasms can cause serious health problems and even death if left untreated. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are key to managing and treating these types of neoplasms. Treatment typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy. The goal of treatment is to remove the neoplasm and provide long-term relief from symptoms and improve the individual’s quality of life.
