Bowel Cancer
Bowel cancer is cancer that starts in the bowel, which is also called the colon. Sometimes bowel cancer is called colorectal cancer. It happens when cells in the bowel grow in a way that is not normal.
These usually start as small growths called polyps which don’t usually have any associated symptoms that make you feel sick. If left alone, these polyps can grow and become cancer and invasive to your body.
Bowel cancer is one of the most treatable cancers if it’s found early. Finding it early means you have more treatment choices and a better chance of curing the cancer with treatment.
Bowel cancer can develop at any age, although it is more common in older people than in younger people.
