Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS, is distinct from colon cancer, the two being different challenges of the gastrointestinal tract.

Along with the genetic mutations like APC, KRAS, and the environmental factors, malignant neoplasms in the colorectal region are called colon cancer. The difference between these diseases is critical because, once identified with colon cancer, improved treatment outcome and prognosis scalability becomes possible.
