    Colorectal cancer begins when abnormal cell growth forms polyps in the colon or rectum. Over time, some polyps can turn cancerous and spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms include changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, and abdominal pain. Risk factors include lack of exercise, low-fiber diet, obesity, smoking, and family history. Prevention strategies focus on a diet high in fruits and vegetables and regular physical activity. Diagnosis involves stool and imaging tests to detect polyps or cancer. Treatment options include surgery to remove tumors and chemotherapy or immunotherapy to reduce cancer spread. About 24,000 Canadians develop colorectal cancer each year, though rates have declined due to increased screening. Current research is developing
