Colon cancer is among the most frequently found type of all cancers which usually occurs in people over 50 year of age. The major reason which is attributed to this type of cancer is one’s diet. A diet which is low on fiber and high on fat is considered a potential cause for colon cancer. Just as in the case with other diseases, prevention is always the better option than cure in this case too. Even though this is true to a large extent, there are many treatment methods too that are available to treat this condition. Colon cancer surgery is among the most frequently done method of treatment. Colon cancer surgery consists of removing ‘polyps’ which form on the walls of the colon.
