Only when the axe strikes the root, will the tree die says [a verse] and a colon cancer patient named Krishna shares his story to illustrate this point. He explains how symptoms of colorectal cancer are ignored, and the disease is widely misunderstood in society. Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in men and women, yet it is highly curable if detected early. Unfortunately, its progression is often asymptomatic and is commonly associated with symptoms that can produce bowel or abdominal discomfort or bleeding. Due to the variety of symptoms, this disease is often misdiagnosed or overlooked until it's too late.

To address this issue, Apollo Hospital Director (Medical Services) Dr Sriram Satish held an awareness seminar on colorectal cancer at Apollo Hospital in Nellore on Tuesday. The conference was attended by cancer medical specialist Dr Haritha, surgical gastroenterologist Dr Nitish Kumar Reddy and gastroenterologist Dr Himabindhu.
