Guide To Colon Cancer Diagnosis And Treatment Options

Colon cancer is a malignancy that originates in an individual's rectum or colon. An individual's colon and rectum are the last segments food moves through in the digestive tract before it is eliminated from the body. Colon cancer develops as a result of a mutation in cell DNA. Carcinogenesis results from this mutation in the cell, causing it to divide into more cells that grow rapidly, divide constantly, and do not die when they should.
