Cancer is curable, when detected early and treated effectively.
Colorectal cancer includes cancers of the colon, rectum, and anus, and is one of the most treatable cancers when detected early. Surgery is often the primary treatment, especially in stage I–III disease, and plays a crucial role even in advanced stages when combined with chemotherapy or radiation.
