Colorectal Cancer
Get an overview of colorectal cancer and find helpful resources to support survivorship.
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths globally. It is multifactorial, meaning that it results from genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Despite the significant benefits of early detection in improving patient outcomes, it often goes unnoticed in the early stages because symptoms can be vague or absent, making early detection challenging. However, many treatments are available depending on the patient and their cancer stage. Treatments for colorectal cancer can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies.
