Colon Cancer: Doctor explains how silent polyps grow and why screening matters
Colorectal cancer often begins as silent, benign polyps within the colon. These growths, initially small and undetectable, can enlarge over time, causing symptoms like abdominal pain and bleeding. Early detection through colonoscopies allows for the removal of these polyps, preventing them from developing into cancer and offering a highly successful, minimally invasive treatment.
