Colon cancer is one of the most common types of gastrointestinal cancer, often beginning as small, noncancerous polyps that grow silently in the large intestine. When detected early, it is highly treatable, but in later stages, it can spread to nearby organs or lymph nodes, making treatment more complex. Common symptoms include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal discomfort, unexplained fatigue, and sudden weight loss. Surgery is usually the primary treatment for colon cancer and involves removing the affected part of the colon along with surrounding tissues or lymph nodes. The procedure must be done with great care to avoid complications and ensure complete removal of the cancer.
