Waspada Ancaman Serius Kanker Usus | AYO SEHAT

KOMPASTV - The intestines, a large part of the lower digestive tract, play a vital role in digesting and absorbing nutrients. Long and tube-like, the intestines consist of two parts: the large intestine and the small intestine. These two organs have very different roles. Simply put, the small intestine absorbs nutrients from food, while the large intestine is responsible for absorbing and transporting waste, which is then excreted through the rectum. One disease that threatens intestinal health is colon cancer. This type of cancer often affects the large intestine, the final part of the digestive tract. Colon cancer is most common in older adults. However, it is possible for young people to develop this type of cancer. Several factors can also trigger colon cancer, including obesity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, type 2 diabetes, a sedentary lifestyle, and consuming too many processed foods.
