The Colon is part of our digestive system, where waste is stored before it leaves our body; and the Rectum is the end of the Colon. They are places where tumors (cancers) grow on their inner walls. There are two main types of tumors here – benign and malignant. A “benign” tumor is called a “Polyp,” and a malignant one is called “Cancer.” The benign tumor does not spread, and is removed by a surgery called a “Colonoscopy.” The benign tumor can turn into cancer. The cancers of the Colon and Rectum are frequently called “colorectal cancers.” This type of cancer can break away and invade other parts of the body.

Colorectal cancer is the third largest cause of cancer in males in the world, and the forth largest in females.
