Colon Cancer Facts:
| |
 |
Colon cancer is the third most common cancer found in men and women in the US
|
| |
|
95% of colon and rectal cancers are cancers of the cells that line the inside of the colon and rectum (adenocarcinomas)
|
| |
|
Most of these cancers begin as a polyp or growth of tissue (also known as adenomas); removing polyps early may prevent the cancer within from becoming widespread and life-threatening
|
| |
|
Colon cancer most often metastasizes (migrates) from the colon to the liver
|
| |

Early detection of colon cancer significantly affects patient outcomes
