Conditions & Treatments

Cancers

Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in men and women. It includes both cancers of the colon and the rectum. Most colorectal cancer begins as polyps, which are abnormal growths of tissue cells. Typically, polyps are benign. But over time, they can develop into cancer. While colon and rectal cancers are similar in many ways, their treatments are different.

Anal Cancer AIN

Anal cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in the anus, which is the opening at the end of the rectum where stool leaves the body. Anal cancer is uncommon and is often curable. Like other cancers, it can metastasize to other parts of the body, commonly the liver and lungs, although spreading is rare.
