Colon Cancer: The Silent Killer

Colon cancer is marked by the condition in which cells begin to grow abnormally in the large intestine (colon). This organ is the final part of the digestive tract. It mainly affects older adults, though experts say that cancer is a disease that doesn't see age or gender when targetting.

Colon cancer is also known as colorectal cancer, which is a term that combines colon cancer and rectal cancer, the one that begins in the rectum. Some of the warning symptoms of colon cancer include:

1. Persistent change in bowel movement
2. Unexplained rectal bleeding
3. Blood in the stool
4. Abdominal discomfort that doesn't go away
5. Extreme fatigue or weakness
6. Unexplained weight loss
