Answer:

Colorectal cancer (CRC)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is another large bowel condition that is predominantly a disease of the elderly; 90% of colon cancers occur in people aged >50 years, and 20–40% are seen in men and women aged 80 years or older. The causes and risk factors are diverse and include dietary, geographical, and genetic factors.
