Colon Cancer
Colon Cancer: is a type of cancer that begins in the large intestine (colon). Colon cancer typically affects older adults, though it can happen at any age. It usually begins as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inside of the colon. Over time some of these polyps can become colon cancers.
