Colorectal cancer ranks first in cancer incidence when men and women are combined, making it one of the most representative lifestyle-related cancers. In the early stages there are almost no noticeable symptoms; as the disease advances, signs such as blood in the stool, abdominal pain, and anemia may appear.
