Facts About Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States and often begins as small growths called polyps. These polyps may not cause symptoms but can develop into cancer over time. Regular screening is one of the most effective ways to detect colon cancer early and improve survival rates.
