bowel cancers
Colon tumor diseases
Bowel cancers are malignant tumors arising in the large intestine—the colon or rectum.
The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say colorectal cancer.
Screening programs focus on early detection through colonoscopy or stool tests, since bowel cancers often develop from precancerous polyps that can be removed before turning malignant.
