Causes of Colorectal Cancer
What causes the polyps or tumors of colorectal cancer? We know that carcinogens play a role, as does a family history of cancer. Colon cancer is also linked to other digestive disorders, like ulcerative colitis.
Understanding Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer refers to polyps or tumors that grow in the colon or rectum. Some men with this digestive disorder have diarrhea, abdominal pain, or constipation, while others are asymptomatic. Only a colonoscopy can determine if cancer is present.
Screening for Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is often asymptomatic, which is why early detection of a tumor can be challenging. For this reason, all men over 50 should have an annual colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. These screenings of the colon and rectum can save lives!
