In this episode, we explain what Stage 0 colorectal cancer is and why catching it early can make all the difference. At this earliest stage, cancer cells are confined to the innermost layer of the colon or rectum. They can often be treated with a single, minimally invasive procedure—no chemotherapy or primary surgery required.

You’ll learn:

• What “carcinoma in situ” means and how it relates to Stage 0 colorectal cancer
• Why colonoscopy screenings are essential for early diagnosis
• How a simple polypectomy can remove cancerous polyps before they become dangerous
• When surgery might still be needed, and what it involves
• Why early detection helps avoid aggressive treatment and boosts survival rates
• How lifestyle changes and follow-up care can prevent recurrence

If you or a loved one is at risk, understanding the signs and solutions for early-stage colorectal cancer can save lives and simplify treatment.
