Colon Cancer, which is also known as colorectal cancer, is a type of cancer that develops in the colon or the rectum. Colon Cancer mostly develops from the polyps. The polyps is sessile or pedunculated in nature and develops in the inner lining of the colon. Most of the polyps are benign in nature but some polyps may accumulate additional mutations and have a carcinomatous transformation.
