Do you notice blood in your stool?

Experiencing frequent cramps, sudden weight loss, or fatigue that doesn’t go away?

What is Colon Cancer?

Colon cancer, or colorectal cancer, starts in the large intestine (colon), often as small, non-cancerous polyps. Over time, some of these polyps turn into cancer.

This cancer usually grows slowly, giving you time to treat it early. It’s one of the most preventable and treatable cancers, with regular screening and timely intervention.

    FAQS

    Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

    Is colon cancer always linked to a poor diet?

    Not always. Genetics, age, and gut health also play major roles, though diet does influence risk.

    What's the first noticeable symptom?

    For many, it’s rectal bleeding or a change in bowel habits. But the early stages can be symptom-free.

    Can colon cancer be prevented?

    While not all cases are preventable, healthy lifestyle choices such as eating a fibre-rich diet, limiting red and processed meats, not smoking, and staying active can reduce your risk.

    Is screening necessary if I feel fine?

    Absolutely. Colon cancer often develops without symptoms. Therefore, screening can detect it before it turns dangerous.

    Can young people get colon cancer?

    Yes. While it’s more common in older adults, cases in people under 50 are increasing. Any unusual symptoms should not be ignored, regardless of age.
