What is colorectal can.cer?
Colorectal can.cer is a can.cer that begins either in the colon (the longest part of the large intestine) or the rectum (the last several inches of the colon, closest to the anus). Since both can.cers have a lot in common, a term colorectal can.cer is often applied. The most popular type of colorectal can.cer is adenocarcinoma – a type of can.cer that comes in the cells which produce mucus and other fluids.
Colorectal can.cer affects men and women equally and it happens in over 90% of all cases in people aged 50 and older.
