Colon cancer facts & statistics.
Of all the disorders affecting the gastrointestinal system, colorectal cancer is one of the most serious. Although one of the most curable cancers if diagnosed early, it is also one of the most common cancers in the United States. Colorectal cancer is now the third-most common cancer found in men and women. The American Cancer Society estimates about 106,680 new cases of colon cancer and 41,930 new cases of rectal cancer this year in the United States. Combined, they will cause over 55,000 deaths. However, early detection and treatment of colorectal cancer improves overall cure rates significantly.
