Opis

Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is a disease characterized by the abnormal, uncontrolled growth of cells in the part of the large intestine known as the colon. It is one of the most common forms of cancer worldwide, with significant impacts on public health. Colon cancer can develop slowly over a period of several years, often starting with the formation of small non-cancerous growths called polyps, which can evolve into cancer cells. Certain factors can increase the risk of developing colon cancer, such as age, family history of colorectal cancer...Colon cancer may remain silent for a long time and give no symptoms, or it may give changes in bowel habits (diarrhea or constipation), rectorrhagia, persistent abdominal pain, asthenia, involuntary weight loss and a feeling of bloating.Surgery is the standard change for this cancer, and can be performed in two ways: by laparotomy or laparoscopy.
