Colonic cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the colon or rectum, which are part of the digestive system. It usually begins as a polyp, a non-cancerous growth on the inner lining of the colon or rectum, and can develop into cancer over time if left untreated. Colonic cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and usually affects older adults, but can occur at any age. Symptoms of colonic cancer may include changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain, blood in the stool, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. Treatment options for colonic cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. Early detection and screening can help improve the prognosis and outcome for individuals with colonic cancer.
