How is Colon Cancer detected?
- Colonoscopy: An endoscope is inserted into the rectum
and advanced through the colon, through this the doctor can examine the
entire colon.
- Diagnosis is confirmed with a colon biopsy
- Colon function tests
- Stage of disease is confirmed by pathologists and
imaging tests, such as computerized tomography (CT or CAT) scans
- Endoscopic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) may also be used to stage rectal cancer
- Sigmoidoscopy: In this an endoscope is interested in
the rectum and moved through the left side of the colon. It cannot be used
to view the middle and right sides of the colon.
- Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) along with Complete
blood count (CBC) to check for anemia and CT , MRI or PET scans of the
abdomen, pelvic area

involves treating cancer using radiation in the form of high energy rays
or particles . Radiation therapy is an effective way to treat many cancers
either as the sole treatment or in combination with surgery or
chemotherapy .
- Brachytherapy : This involves precise placement of radiation sources
directly at the source of the cancerous tumor , and it affects only the
localized area around the radiation source.. This is mainly used for
cancers of the prostate ,breast, head and neck,uterus, thyroid ,cervix in
combination of external radiation therapy

- Volumetric Modulated ARC Therapy (VMAT)
- Stereotactic Radio Surgery.
- Colonoscopy
- Upper GI
- ARCP
- Endoscopy
- CT Scan
- MRI
- Ultrasound
- The surgeon enters the abdomen by placing a canula (a
narrow tube like instrument) into the abdomen (belly) through a small
incision (½ –– ¼ inch)
- Carbon Dioxide gas is pumped into the abdomen through
the port (cannula) to puff-up or inflate the belly, making working room
for the surgeon.
- A laparoscope (a tiny telescope connected to a video
camera) is placed through the canula, and allows the surgeon to see a
magnified lighted view of the internal organs on a TV monitor
- 2 ‹to 4 other canulas are inserted to allow use of
special instruments to work inside the abdominal cavity (belly).
- If a portion of the colon is removed, one of the small
canula incisions is slightly enlarged to permit removal of the tissue.
