One it puts the foot on the gas.

All right.

And makes them proliferate faster, but you're because, you know, the whole body has got to have control to how things grow.

Otherwise you'd be an undifferentiated like blob.

And so there's also like genes that slow down the growth or make sure it goes in the right channel.

If you put your foot on the gas, all right, and make the cells grow more, and then there's also a foot off the brake.

All right.

Then the cells will grow out of control and they start to become like selfish.

They start taking the body's resources for themselves.

They actually send out signals that cause blood vessels to grow into the tumor.

And it really is the the the person, the body versus what's become, you know, a selfish mass.

And, you know, colorectal cancer is when that happens in the colon.

It's not really a single disease.

It's a bunch of different diseases in that it can occur in different places in the colon.

You know, we say colorectal and, you know, it really does go all the way down to the end.

Although, you know, anal cancer is considered a different type.

But also there are different ways we classify colorectal cancer.

So based on where it is, like in the length, you know, also to me, it's very odd.

But whether it's on the left side of the body or the right side of the body, because, of course, you know, the colon just snakes like all throughout the body.

I'm not even sure why that's so important.
