About Colon Cancer

Colon cancer is a malignant disease that occurs when cells in the lining of the colon grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. The colon is a crucial part of the large intestine, involved in digestion and waste elimination. Colon cancer often develops from adenomatous polyps, which are initially benign but can become malignant over time.

At Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, patients have access to modern diagnostic and treatment options, such as colonoscopy, advanced imaging tests, and high-quality surgical interventions.
