What is colon cancer?
According to the Mayo Clinic, Colon cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the large intestine. Colon cancer usually affects older adults, although it can occur at any age. It usually begins as small, noncancerous (benign) groups of cells called polyps that form inside the colon. Over time, some of these polyps can turn into colon cancer.
Polyps can be small and cause few or no symptoms. For this reason, doctors recommend regular screening tests to help prevent colon cancer by identifying and removing polyps before they turn into cancer.
