Could It Be Colon Cancer?

Like other cancer types, colon cancer is a collection of cells that grow out of control, unregulated by the body. Cancerous tumors generally have a blood supply, and their cells can break off and travel to other parts of the body once they get large enough – this is called metastasis. Colon cancer lives right where you think it might: in the large intestine. Some people will lump colon cancer in with colorectal cancer – they’re the same diagnosis.
