Most people with colon cancer do not experience any symptom at the early stages of the illness. However, when the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer do appear, it varies from person to person.

Colon cancer (also known as bowel cancer or colorectal cancer) is any cancer that affects the final section of the digestive system (usually the colon or rectum). It is one of the most widespread cancers in the UK and causes over 16,000 deaths each year. There are a number of risk factors associated with this type of cancer.

Around 44,500 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Although the exact cause is still unknown, we know that it begins when the breast tissues start to multiply in a rapid and uncontrolled way. The symptoms of this type of cancer are often difficult to identify but fortunately there are a number of tests your doctor can perform. In this article I will be discussing three of these tests.

It can be very helpful to know more about how to detect breast cancer because when it is diagnosed early it can be treated more effectively.

More than half of all cancer patients will be treated at some time during their illness with radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses energy to kill cancer cells and cause tumors to shrink. Radiation therapy destroys cells in the area that has cancer. It kills the cells through damaging their genetic make up, inhibiting these cells from being able to continue to grow and divide. Radiation can damage normal cells; however normal cells can survive the effects of radiation and continue to survive.
