Colon cancer
Cancer of the large intestine, often silent in the early stages. Routine colonoscopy after 45 (or earlier with family history) finds and removes pre-cancerous polyps. Survival rates exceed 90% when found early.

- Change in bowel habit lasting > 4 weeks
- Unexplained anaemia or weight loss
Treatment offered: Colonoscopy with biopsy, CT staging, and laparoscopic or robotic colectomy with lymph-node clearance. Adjuvant chemotherapy as per tumour board.
