What is Colorectal Cancer?

Colorectal cancer is a malignancy that begins in the colon or rectum, often developing from polyps. It is among the fastest-rising cancers in China, partly due to dietary and lifestyle changes. Key facts: early detection greatly improves outcomes, and treatment typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. In China, advanced techniques like robotic and 3D-laparoscopic resection with NOSES are widely available, allowing for less invasive procedures and faster recovery.
