Colorectal cancer is a disease caused by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the colon or rectum. These abnormal growths, called polyps, may turn into cancer over time if left untreated. Several screening tests, such as stool test, CT colonography, and colonoscopy, can be done for early detection and risk reduction of colorectal cancer.
Worldwide, colon cancer is the third most common malignancy in males and the second most common in females. In the Philippines, colorectal cancer is also gaining high statistical figures making it the third leading type of cancer in the country.
