Colon Cancer Facts
Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is the development of malignant cells occurring in the colon (or large intestine) or in the rectum, and it often develops slowly. Before the cancer develops, an abnormal growth called a polyp develops on the inner lining of the large intestine or rectum. While polyps begin as noncancerous growths, some can turn into cancer over time.
