Finnish Colorectal Cancer Association

Information about colorectal cancer, support for patients, Lynch syndrome carriers and their loved ones

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer for both men and women.

In the early 1950’s only a fifth of patients suffering from colorectal cancer survived. Thanks to diagnostics and modern treatments, today over 60 percent of all patients can be cured.

Symptoms

Common symptoms of colorectal cancer include various abdominal disorders such as abdominal pain, constipation, variable diarrhea and difficulty defecating. The patient may also have a need to defecate, mucus and scanty stools, or abdominal swelling and cramping.
