What is Colorectal Cancer?
Colorectal Cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the colon or rectum, often developing from polyps in the bowel lining. It can cause symptoms such as persistent changes in bowel movements, blood in the stool, abdominal discomfort, weight loss, and fatigue. Early detection and treatment improve outcomes, and some people may live with long-term effects of surgery or treatment. An ICE card helps emergency teams understand your condition and take the necessary precautions in time-critical situations.
