What is Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer. Colorectal carcinoma is a condition in which the cells of the colon and rectum grow abnormally. It is important to get regular screenings for colorectal cancer. Symptoms often don’t appear until the disease has advanced.
How does colon cancer develop?
In order to maintain a healthy body and function properly, all cells in the body grow, divide and then die. Sometimes, however, this process can get out of control. Even though they should die, cells continue to grow and divide. Colorectal cancer can develop when the colon and rectum cells multiply uncontrollably.
Most colorectal cancers start as small, precancerous polyps (adenomatous and serrated). These small polyps grow slowly and don’t cause symptoms until they become larger or more cancerous. This allows for the detection and removal of pre-cancerous polyps before they become cancerous. Consult with your colon cancer doctor in Kolkata for colon cancer treatment.
