Colon cancer, which develops in the final part of the digestive system (the large intestine), often arises from precancerous polyps. Colonoscopy is a critical diagnostic tool for early detection.

Common symptoms include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal pain, and unexplained weight loss. Surgical treatment is the primary approach, often supported by chemotherapy in certain cases.

In addition to cancer, the management of other colon-related conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diverticulitis, and chronic constipation is also important. Routine screening and regular check-ups play a vital role in prevention and early diagnosis.
