Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer and colon cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine).

A cancer is the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

Signs and symptoms may include blood in the stool, a change in bowel movements, weight loss, and feeling tired all the time.

Screening, in medicine, is a strategy used in a population to identify the possible presence of an as-yet-undiagnosed disease in individuals without signs or symptoms.

This can include individuals with pre-symptomatic or unrecognized symptomatic disease.

As such, screening tests are somewhat unusual in that they are performed on persons apparently in good health.

A patient is any recipient of health care services.

The patient is most often ill or injured and in need of treatment by a advanced practice registered nurse, physiotherapist, physician, physician assistant, psychologist, podiatrist, veterinarian, or other health care provider.

Cancer screening aims to detect cancer before symptoms appear.

This may involve blood tests, urine tests, other tests, or medical imaging.

The benefits of screening in terms of cancer prevention, early detection and subsequent treatment must be weighed against any harms.

A physician, medical practitioner, medical doctor, or simply doctor is a professional who practises medicine, which is concerned with promoting, maintaining, or restoring health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and mental impairments.

Physicians may focus their practice on certain disease categories, types of patients and methods of treatment—known as specialities—or they may assume responsibility for the provision of continuing and comprehensive medical care to individuals, families, and communities—known as general practice.

Medical practice properly requires both a detailed knowledge of the academic disciplines (such as anatomy and physiology) underlying diseases and their treatment—the science of medicine—and also a decent competence in its applied practice—the art or craft of medicine.
