Can colon cancer kill you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: In 2012, in the United States, 51,516 people died from colorectal cancer (colon cancer), including 26,866 men and 24,650 women. People who want to diagnose colon cancer early and get early treatment, should see their doctors for any bowel symptoms, and get screening stool tests plus screening colonoscopies at the proper ages.
