Colon and Rectum Cancer
Colon and rectal tumors, unfortunately, are the most common. The patient may present with blood with bowel movements, abdominal or rectal pain, altered bowel habits, and weight loss.
The diagnosis should be suspected in any patient with these complaints and made through a series of studies. Once diagnosed, the patient should be staged and specific treatment offered depending on the clinical stage.
IT IS A CURABLE DISEASE IF IT IS DETECTED AND MANAGED IN TIME.
