Colon cancer, also called colorectal cancer when it involves the rectum, is a cancer that starts in the large intestine (colon). It is one of the most common gastrointestinal cancers in India and is increasingly seen in younger adults. Most colon cancers begin as small, noncancerous clumps of cells called polyps that, over time, can become cancerous if left untreated.
