It is owed to the abnormal growth of cells they have capacity to infect or spread to other parts of the body.  Signs and symptoms may involve blood in the stool, a change in bowel movements, weight loss, and feeling tired all the time.

The Clinical Nurse Specialist is usually present at the time a patient is informed of the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.

Patients newly diagnosed with cancer will need support to deal with the many fears and anxieties they experience.
