Platinum Health, LLC.: Colon

Colon: The colon's function is primarily to reabsorb water from the stool and store it until elimination from the body is convenient. Diseases of the colon disrupt the ability of the organ to perform this function.

Colon Cancer
This colon cancer is growing into the lumen of the colon. Most colon cancers develop from colon polyps. That is why screening colonoscopy is so important; the aim is to identify and remove the polyps before they have a chance to turn into a more serious problem.
