What is colorectal cancer?
Colorectal cancer is a disease in which normal
cells in the lining of the colon or rectum change
and grow uncontrollably. This cell growth can form
a noncancerous polyp that can become a cancerous
tumor over time. Most colon and rectal cancers are
a type of tumor called adenocarcinoma. Colorectal
cancer is the third most common type of cancer
diagnosed in men and women in the United States.
OF CLINICAL
Oncologist-approved cancer fact sheets are easy for
the patient to understand and are available

side effects, and childhood cancers.
