Colon Facts
Let me explain to you a little something about our anatomy and our colon in particular. The colon is part of the intestines. These consist of the small intestine (the section between the stomach and the appendix) and the large intestine (from the appendix to the anus). The large intestine is separated into the long colon and a short rectum, just before the anus.
Two thirds of these cancers occur in the colon and one third in the rectum, with very few in the small intestine. There are many various colon health tips that you can follow to avoid potential health issues later on. There are about 106,000 new cases in the USA each year and 35,000 cases in the UK, colon cancer a very serious problem for many people.
