Colon cancer develops when cells in the colon or rectum grow uncontrollably.
Early detection through colonoscopy and imaging is crucial for better outcomes. Treatment depends on the tumor’s stage and may involve surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy to manage disease progression.
