Colorectal Cancer: Who's At Risk, Signs and Symptoms

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Approximately 150,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed each year, and 50,000 people die from the disease. However, early diagnosis often leads to a complete cure. Almost all colorectal cancer starts in glands in the lining of the colon and rectum.
