What Is Colorectal Cancer (Colon and Rectal Cancer) ?

Colorectal cancer is a term used to refer to cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. Colon and rectal cancers begin in the digestive system, also called the GI (gastrointestinal) system. This is where food is processed to create energy and rid the body of solid waste matter (stool).

The small intestine continues breaking down the food and absorbs most of the nutrients. The small intestine joins the large intestine (also called the large bowel or colon), a muscular tube about five feet long. The first part of the colon absorbs water and nutrients from the food and also serves as a storage place for waste matter. The waste matter moves from the colon into the rectum, the last 6 inches of the digestive system. From there the waste passes out of the body through the opening called the anus…

Causes of colorectal cancer

Age – particularly after 50.

Having polyps (small growths on the inner wall of the colon and rectum).

Family history of colorectal cancer – especially if the relative (parent, sibling, child) developed colorectal cancer before the age of 45.

Having familial adenomatous polyposis (fap) or hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (hncc).

Inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or crohn’s disease).

High-fat diet.

The diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer (Colon and Rectal Cancer)

The first step in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer may be a “digital rectal exam.” In this test, which is often part of a routine physical exam, the doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum to feel for abnormal growths and may test your stool for occult blood. If colorectal cancer is suspected, you and your doctor have many tests to choose from to make sure the diagnosis is correct. Since there is a wide range of options, knowing the differences can help you make a smart decision.
