Join the Fight Against Colorectal Cancer

Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. It typically develops from polyps, which are small, non-cancerous growths that can form in the lining of the colon or rectum. Over time, some polyps can become cancerous. Treatment for colon cancer depends on the stage of the cancer, its location, and the overall health of the patient. Common treatment options include surgery to remove the cancerous tumor and nearby lymph nodes, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
