Top 5 Best Gastroenterology G I or General Surgeon In South India ( Bangalore & Chennai )


Colorectal (Large Intestine) Cancer  -


Our digestive system digests food and absorbs nutrients from it. The esophagus (food pipe), stomach (gastric), small intestine and large intestine together form the digestive system. The large intestine begins at the colon, which is about 5 feet long and ends in the rectum and anus.

There are four layers of tissue in the colon and rectal wall. Cancer occurs when the cells in the body start growing uncontrollably. Colorectal cancer begins in the innermost layer of the large intestine wall. Most colorectal cancers begin with small polyps. These polyps are a group of cells. Over time, some of these polyps develop into cancer. This cancer spreads first in the wall of the large intestine, then in the surrounding lymph nodes and then throughout the body.
