Colon cancer is a cancer that forms in the tissues of the colon which is located in the longest part of the large intestine.Tumors of the colon and rectum are growths arising from the inner wall of the large intestine. It’s best to get regular screenings rather than rely on colon cancer symptoms to alert you to the presence of a tumor. This is because colon cancer can grow for years before causing any symptoms. But, knowing what to look out for can’t hurt.Most people who develop colon cancer never show any signs of the disease. This is because early stage tumors seldom cause any symptoms. Someone who receives a late stage colon cancer diagnosis is more likely to have experienced one or more symptoms associated with colon cancer, like stomach cramping or unexplained weight loss. If you have already colon cancer there are bigger posibilities that you may acquire rectal cancer, this is because the large instistine is the storage of waste foods not needed in your body and large intistine is connected to the rectum, rectum of course is also affected.
