The biggest difference between colorectal cancer and cancers elsewhere in the body is that it is usually formed by the deterioration of benign colorectal polyps. Colorectal cancer is the easiest to detect and prevent cancer. Usually, it takes about 3 to 5 years for colorectal polyps to develop into cancer. If malignant colorectal polyps is ignored, 100% will turn into colorectal cancer, and the age of turning into colorectal cancer is quite young. Therefore, if a person of any age has blood in the stool, changes in stool habits, or a positive test for fecal occult blood, they should seek an experienced specialist for colonoscopy as soon as possible to achieve early detection and early treatment.
