Colon Cancer which also known as colorectal cancer begins in the colon or the rectum. Both colon and the rectum are part of large intestine. Colon is the longest part of the large intestine, and helps to absorbs water and nutrients from the digested food material. Rectum is the lower part of the large intestine and stores stools until defecation.
Colo-Rectal Cancer typically originates from polyps. Polyps are sessile or pedunculated in nature. Most of the polyps are benign in nature but gradually overtime some polyps may accumulate additional mutations and have a carcinomatous transformation.
Types of Colo-Rectal Cancer:
1) Colon Cancer: Cancer that originates in the colon is called colon cancer.
2) Rectal Cancer: Cancer that originates in the rectum is called rectal cancer. Colo-Rectal Cancer is most common in the people above the age of 50, however it can happen at any age. Colon Cancer in the young people tends to be more aggressive in nature and with a guarded prognosis. But young people also tend to tolerate the treatment well.
