Colorectal cancer, sometimes called “colon cancer” or “large bowel cancer”, includes tumors in the colon, rectum and appendix. It is the third most commonly occurring type of cancer, and second in causing cancer-related deaths in the West.
The traditional treatments for colorectal cancer are surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Depending on the individual situation, two or more of the above treatments may be used at the same time, or one after the other.
