Colorectal cancer is often referred to as the "silent killer" because it doesn't present any noticeable symptoms in its initial stages, which leads to delayed detection until the disease has reached an advanced, irreversible stage. Regular screening, beginning at age 45, is said to be crucial to preventing colorectal cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, about 154,270 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with colon and rectal cancer in 2025, and 52,900 will die from the disease.
