Mitra CanCare is pleased to announce a webinar on “Make a Difference with Colon Cancer Awareness” on the 18th March 2023 led by Dr. Narasimhaiah Srinivasaiah.

In INDIA Colorectal Cancer is the 4th leading cancer in men and 6th leading cancer in women. Both men and women get Colorectal cancer. This cancer often starts with no symptoms. “YOU CAN STOP this cancer before is STARTS”.

The colon and rectum are vital parts of the digestive tract. Colorectal cancer usually develops slowly, starting with small growths called polyps on the lining of the colon or rectum. While most polyps are harmless, some can become cancerous over time. Screening tests, such as colonoscopies and stool tests, can detect colorectal cancer early, when it is most treatable.

Oncologists suspect that the increase in Colorectal Cancer cases specially with young adults could be mainly due to Lifestyle changes, Obesity, Dietary habits, especially lack of fibre in diet and smoking.

Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving the prognosis of colorectal cancer.
