Colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine (colon), the lower part of your digestive system. Rectal cancer is cancer of the last several inches of the colon. Together, they're often referred to as colorectal cancers.
Most colorectal cancers start as a polyp – a growth that starts in the inner lining of the colon or rectum and grows toward the center. Most polyps are not cancer. Only certain types of polyps (called adenomas) can become cancer. Taking out a polyp early, when it is small, may keep it from becoming cancer.
Over 95% of colon and rectal cancers are adenocarcinomas. These are cancers that start in gland cells, like the cells that line the inside of the colon and rectum. There are some other, more rare, types of tumors of the colon and rectum.
Symptoms of colorectal cancer include-Diarrhea or constipation,A feeling that your bowel does not empty completely,Blood (either bright red or very dark) in your stool, Stools that are narrower than usual,Frequent gas pains or cramps, or feeling full or bloated,Weight loss with no known reason,Fatigue,Nausea or vomiting
