  Colorectal cancer screenings early on might save your life -- Internet Source

Colorectal cancer forms in the tissue of the colon or rectum. It affects men and women equally. It develops when abnormal cells in the colon or rectum grow into polyps, which eventually turn into cancer. It usually takes about 10 to 15 years for polyps to turn into cancer, and there are often no visible symptoms until the disease is in its late stages. Getting screened is the only way to help curb this deadly cancer trend. Inflammatory bowel disease and disorders that cause frequent polyp growth are major risk factors.
