Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer when it includes the rectum, is a type of cancer that starts in the large intestine (colon). It typically begins as small, noncancerous clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inner lining of the colon. Over time, some of these polyps can become cancerous.

3. Unexplained Weight Loss
Sudden weight drop without a change in diet or exercise may be a red flag.
