23. Bowel Cancer
Colorectal cancer is any cancer that affects the colon or rectum. It is also known as bowel cancer, colon cancer, or rectal cancer. In 2022, the American Cancer Society (ACS) predicts that there will be 106,180 new cases of colon cancer and 44,850 new cases of rectal cancer in the United States. Colorectal cancer is the third most frequent type of cancer in the United States. It is also the second highest cause of mortality among malignancies that afflict both sexes. The prevalence varies by region. It is more common in higher-income countries, but according to a 2021 analysis, it is more likely to harm persons with lower incomes. Medical improvements have reduced the number of fatalities. Furthermore, as the 2021 research shows, the number of diagnoses in those under the age of 50 is increasing, probably due to advancements in screening. Around 40% of persons with this type of cancer are diagnosed when the disease is in its early stages. The symptoms can be similar to those of a variety of other medical problems. Anyone who is concerned about possible bowel cancer should consult a doctor.
