Causes: According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States. (However, early diagnosis often leads to a complete cure.) There is no single cause for colon cancer. Nearly all colon cancers begin as non-cancerous (benign) polyps, which slowly develop into cancer. You have a higher risk for colon cancer if you have: Cancer elsewhere in the body Colorectal polyps Crohn's disease Family history of colon cancer Personal history of breast cancer Ulcerative colitis Certain genetic syndromes also increase the risk of developing colon cancer. What you eat may play a role in your risk of colon cancer. Colon cancer may be associated with a high-fat, low-fiber diet and red meat. However, some studies found that the risk does not drop if you switch to a high-fiber diet, so the cause of the link is not yet clear. Smoking cigarettes is another risk factor for colorectal cancer. symptoms: Abdominal pain and tenderness in the lower abdomen Blood in the stool Diarrhea, constipation, or other change in bowel habits Intestinal obstruction Narrow stools Unexplained anemia Treatment depends partly on the stage of the cancer. In general, treatments may include: Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells Surgery to remove cancer cells Radiation therapy to destroy cancerous tissue Weight loss with no known reason
