Colorectal cancer is one of the few cancers that can often be prevented, not just detected early. The reason lies in how it develops. Most colorectal cancers begin as small, harmless growths called polyps on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. Over many years, some of these polyps can gradually change into cancer. Finding and removing polyps before this happens is one of the most effective cancer prevention strategies available today.
