Colon cancer is also called colorectal cancer. It is a cancer of the large intestine which could also include growths in your rectum and appendix. In the United States of America, almost as many people die from this condition annually as there are that die from breast cancer or lung cancer.

Surgical treatment for breast cancer may involve the complete removal of the affected breast. This is as a result of the cancer cells spreading all over the affected breast. The procedure is known as mastectomy. In situations where the infected cell has not spread too much, the breast can be saved and just removal of the lumps is carried out.
