Cancer of the colon,gross specimen. Malignant tumour in the last part of the colon causing obstruction of the intestinal tract. Several cancerous polyps,abnormal growths of tissue projecting from a mucous membrane,can also be seen. The ones seen here are red upon a stalk and are hence known as pedunculated. Certain dietary habits,such as a diet high in fat,are implicated in the development of colon cancer. The cancer usually causes no symptoms for years,but will eventually involve cramps,anaemia and abnormal bowel movements | |
