What are Colorectal Cancers?
Colorectal cancers are cancers that develop in the colon or rectum, which are parts of the large intestine. These cancers usually begin as small growths called polyps, which may gradually develop into cancer over time if not detected and treated early.
Colorectal cancers are among the most common cancers worldwide, but early diagnosis and proper treatment significantly improve survival rates.
