 * Broader Impacts **


 * Understanding colon cancer is very important because of the deadly impact on the population, where literally have of the population in the U.S is going to get diagnosed with this diseases. Colorectal cancer appear as a sever disease and have a larger impact on an individual’s life when it is hereditary, the most know gene responsible for the hereditary colon cancer is APC gene, but there is so much more research to be done to know in order to find a treatment for this disease. also we need to know more the the connection of this gene with other genes to best treat it with the minimum side effects.


 * In most cases if this cancer was diagnosed early, it could be treated and removed with colonoscopy and drugs. Other treatments to considered are, if it at a localized stage by removing the cancer surgically, or by Colostomy, which is when a section of the rectum get removed by a surgeon. To prevent the broader impact of this disease is recommended to people that have the colon cancer mutation genes in the family to get checked with their doctor at early ages, starting at age 30-35, and that is where the expensive treatment associated with regular doctor checks every five years.
