About Colorectal Cancer in Bengaluru
Colorectal Cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the colon or rectum, usually beginning as a benign growth called a polyp that can gradually become cancerous over years. It is among the most common cancers globally and one of the leading causes of cancer-related death, though it is also one of the most preventable through regular screening. The disease typically develops slowly, giving screening tests a valuable window to detect and remove precancerous polyps before they progress. Risk increases significantly with age and certain hereditary conditions.
