Cancer Education Centre
Colorectal Cancer
One of the few cancers that can be prevented outright — by removing growths before they ever turn cancerous.
Before you read on. Nothing on this page can tell you whether you
have cancer. Symptoms described here have many causes, and most turn out not to be
cancer. What this page can do is help you know what is worth checking, and act
sooner rather than later.
A professional medical illustration is being commissioned for this page. Stepin uses educational illustration only — never graphic photographs of disease.
