Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the colon or rectum, the last portions of the digestive tract. It frequently begins from small formations called polyps, which can be detected during check-ups.
Frequent symptoms: Persistent changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal discomfort, a feeling of incomplete evacuation, or weight loss with no apparent cause.
When to see a doctor? It is important to evaluate any bleeding or bowel change that lasts several weeks, as well as to consider the recommended screenings based on age and family history.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist, the coloproctologist, and the oncologist take part in its study and follow-up. Discussing symptoms with a professional in time makes an appropriate approach easier.
