Intestinal Cancer, Large Bowel Cancer: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment | Dr Ravula Phani Krishna

Colon cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the large intestine (colon). The colon is the final part of the digestive tract.

Colon cancer typically affects older adults, though it can happen at any age. It usually begins as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inside of the colon. Over time some of these polyps can become colon cancers.

Colon cancer is sometimes called colorectal cancer, which is a term that combines colon cancer and rectal cancer, which begins in the rectum.

🔵 Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include:

✅ A persistent change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool
✅ Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool
✅ Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain
✅ A feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely
✅ Weakness or fatigue
✅ Unexplained weight loss

Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they'll likely vary, depending on the cancer's size and location in your large intestine.

🔵 If you notice any persistent symptoms that worry you, make an appointment.
