Colon cancer, starting as polyps in the colon or rectum, may cause symptoms like changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, abdominal discomfort, weakness, or unintended weight loss. Treatments include surgery (removing tumor or part/whole colon), chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Early detection through screenings like colonoscopies is vital for better outcomes. Before undergoing any cancer treatment, it is crucial to consult with a radiation oncologist.

5. Treatments
Radiation therapy uses high-
energy rays to kill cancer cells. It's
not typically used as the primary
treatment for colon cancer, but it
may be used in combination
with surgery or chemotherapy in
certain situations, such as to
shrink tumors before surgery or
to relieve symptoms of
advanced cancer.
Radiation Therapy
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill
cancer cells or stop their growth.
It can be used before surgery
(neoadjuvant chemotherapy) to
shrink tumors, after surgery
(adjuvant chemotherapy) to kill
any remaining cancer cells, or as
the primary treatment for
advanced colon cancer.
Chemotherapy
Immunotherapy drugs help the
body's immune system recognize
and attack cancer cells.

nivolumab(Opdivo)areexamplesof
immunotherapy drugs that may be
used to treat advanced colon
cancer.
