Colorectal cancer is the growth of cancer in parts of the large intestine, specifically the colon and rectum. It can be difficult to detect colorectal cancer early because it is not associated with specific tell-tale symptoms.
Instead, patients may present with non-specific symptoms like constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, weight loss and blood in the stool. Other patients may not experience symptoms at all.
