Apollo Hospitals and Tamilnadu Gastroenterologist Trust met the members of the Media in connection with the Colon Cancer Symposium 2025 to drive home the fact that Colon Cancer is treatable and curable as well!
The main focus is on the need for screening to identify colorectal cancer, early, given the situation where we witness a rising trend of colorectal cancer. Colorectal (bowel) cancer stems up from the large intestine.
Men are affected more than women, says a statistic! It surfaces in the age groups of 50s and upwards!
