Colon, or large intestine, is the final portion of the digestive tract in the human body. Cancers affecting this part of the body are known as colon cancers. Alternatively, they have also termed as large bowel cancer or cancer of the large intestine. Any part of the colon can get affected by cancer and is called Colon cancer, cancer affecting the colon., Rectal cancer, cancer affecting the rectum, lower part of the colon that connects with the anus., Colorectal cancer, is cancer affecting both the colon and the rectum. The reason why colon cancers occur is not known completely. Sometimes, healthy cells in the colon continue to divide due to a DNA error, even when new cells are not needed. Generally, colon cancer begins as a small collection of cells called polyps. Initially, these polyps may not be cancerous (benign). Later, these polyps can develop into colon cancers. Generally, colon cancer screenings are recommended at age 50. However, in people who are more prone to develop colon cancer, screening at a younger age is advisable. Since small polyps may have no or few tell-tale signs, regular screening tests are strongly recommended to identify the polyps so that these can be removed before they turn cancerous.
