Cancer Type
Colon Cancer
Colon cancer develops in the large intestine (colon), often from polyps that become cancerous over time. Screening with colonoscopy can find and remove polyps before cancer advances.
Early detection improves outcomes. If you notice warning signs, see a doctor promptly or visit a World Cancer Care screening camp.
