Colon cancer. Endoscope view of cancer of the inside wall of the ascending colon (large intestine). Cancer of the colon is common in the developed world, and may be linked to diet. Eating high fat and low fibre foods is thought to raise the risk of developing colon cancer. Symptoms include either constipation or diarrhoea, blood in the faeces and abdominal pain. If the cancer is detected early, surgical removal of the affected portion of the intestine may effect a cure. | |
