Colorectal cancer, also known as large bowel cancer, often develops from polyps. When detected early, colon and rectal cancers are highly treatable. Individuals over 50 and those at high risk should undergo regular screenings. If you notice symptoms like changes in bowel habits or blood in the stool, consult a specialist. Remember, early diagnosis and proper treatment are the most effective ways to protect your health.
