Colorectal cancer, the most common cancer in Japan, increases rapidly from the age of 40, and in recent years, it has even been known to occur in people in their 20s. It is said that there are few subjective symptoms in the early stages, and many people develop colorectal cancer without realizing it. If caught at an early stage (Stage 0–I), colorectal cancer is a disease for which a complete cure can be expected through endoscopic treatment or surgical resection. Therefore, it is important not to overlook even small changes in your body and to receive treatment as soon as possible. In this episode, we asked specialists to teach us about the key points for the early detection of colorectal cancer.
