💙 Your colon, also known as your large intestine, is a very important part of your digestive system. It is where water and minerals are reabsorbed and digestive waste is stored. The inner walls of the colon are lined with a thin layer of cells called mucosa. These cells are active in transporting the waste products from your small intestine all the way to your re**um. It is from these cells that growths called polyps can arise.
💙Some of these polyps can, after several years, become cancer of the colon and re**um called adenocarcinoma. As precancerous polyps grow and become cancerous, these tumors can invade the wall of the intestine and spread to other parts of the body. Often, these cancers can be present and you will not experience symptoms until the tumor is advanced. Some of these symptoms include changes in bowel habits, bleeding and abdominal pain.

There are alarming statistics surrounding colorectal cancer:
➡ It is the third-most common cause of cancer in the United States.
➡ It is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.
➡ Men have a slightly higher risk of developing colon cancer than women.
➡ Black individuals and Native Americans have a higher incidence than White Americans.
➡ Colorectal cancer is most common in adults above the age of 50.
