Understanding Colorectal Cancer: The Silent Threat

Colorectal cancer is a malignancy that affects the colon or rectum, with significant implications for both men and women. Despite its high prevalence, colorectal cancer often remains undetected until advanced stages, making awareness campaigns and early screening initiatives pivotal in saving lives. Factors such as age, family history, diet, and lifestyle choices can influence one’s susceptibility to this disease, underscoring the importance of proactive health measures and routine screenings.
