What is Colorectal & Rectal Cancer?
Colorectal cancer refers to cancer that begins in the colon or rectum, which are parts of the large intestine. It typically develops from abnormal growths called polyps that can become cancerous over time. Rectal cancer specifically affects the last part of the large intestine. If not treated early, these cancers can spread to nearby lymph nodes and other organs. Early detection and timely treatment significantly improve outcomes.
