Colorectal cancer (CRC) care products

Common, often silent, and usually preventable
Colorectal Cancer (or CRC for short) is a malignant disease of the large bowel or the rectum. The vast majority of these cancers (more than 90 percent, called adenocarcinomas) arise from the glands in the lining of the bowel.

CRC is one of the most prevalent cancer types worldwide, with over one million cases occurring every year. According to the World Cancer Report, the incidence of colorectal cancer ranks 4th in men (after lung, prostate, stomach) and 3rd in women (after breast and cervix).

More than 9 out of 10 people diagnosed with colorectal cancer are older than 50. About fifty percent of CRC patients will have died from their disease five years after diagnosis, but the chances of healing are directly dependent on the stage of the cancer at the time of diagnosis - the earlier it is found and treated, the better.
