Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Metastatic colorectal cancer (also known as MCC) is an aggressive form of cancer that begins in the colon or rectum and then spreads to other parts of the body. It is the third most common type of cancer in the United States and is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year. It is important to diagnose and treat MCC early, as it can often be cured when caught early enough. It is most commonly treated with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, or a combination of these treatments. By receiving prompt treatment, many patients are able to overcome MCC and live full and healthy lives.
