Case description

Endoscopic Image of Colonic Polyp Numerous environmental factors can increase the risk of colon cancer, presumably by modulating these molecular pathways. While colon cancer in an advanced and incurable stage often produces clinical findings, premalignant adenomatous polyps and early, highly curable, colon cancer are often asymptomatic. This phenomenon renders adenomas or early cancers difficult to detect by clinical presentation and provides the rationale for mass screening of asymptomatic adults over 50 years old for early detection and prevention of colon cancer.
