Article Excerpts about Colorectal Polyps
Colorectal Cancer: NWHIC (Excerpt)
Most types of colorectal cancer begin with polyps (or
grape-like growths on the lining of the colon and rectum). Polyps are very
common in people over age 50 and usually are benign (not cancerous). But
some polyps do develop slowly over the years into cancer, often causing no
symptoms. Screening tests can find polyps that can be removed, preventing
cancer. Screening tests can also pick up colorectal cancer at an early
stage, when it can be cured. (Source: excerpt from Colorectal Cancer: NWHIC)
