Colon cancer is the third most common form of cancer in men and the second most in women, according to the Indian Council of Medical Research. Colon cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the large intestine and typically affects older adults, though it can happen at any age. The incidences of colon cancer are increasing among young adults mainly resulting from poor dietary habits. Colon cancer, also sometimes known as colorectal cancer (which describes co-occurring colon cancer and rectal cancer), is preventable and highly curable if detected in early stages.
