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.
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!
Treating and Diagnosing Colorectal Cancer
Traditionally, colorectal cancer is treated with colorectal surgery, a procedure to remove a tumor from the colon or rectum. But other treatments, like radiation therapy and chemotherapy, may also be effective for a person with a cancer diagnosis.
