Colorectal cancer/polyps

Colorectal cancer/polyps

colon polyp is a tiny cluster of cells that develops on the colon's lining. The majority of colon polyps are non-cancerous. However, some colon polyps can turn into colon cancer over time, which can be fatal if discovered in its later stages. Polyps in the colon don't always create symptoms. Regular screening tests, such as a colonoscopy, are necessary because colon polyps discovered early on can typically be safely and fully removed. Regular polyp detection and excision is the best way to avoid colon cancer.
