Knowing the diagnosis of colon cancer can help patients discover the disease earlier

Colon cancer is one of the most common tumor diseases in my country, which will have a certain impact on the patient's life. However, if the patient does not combine the diagnosis method of colon cancer as soon as possible, it may cause the condition to worsen, which will be very dangerous. Therefore, everyone should understand the diagnosis of colon cancer in advance to help patients detect the disease early. Let's take a look at the diagnosis of colon cancer.

Colon cancer is diagnosed by:

1. Colonoscopy: The sigmoidoscope is straight, up to 30 cm long, easy to examine, and can be biopsied under direct vision. It is suitable for lesions below the sigmoid colon, which is one of the diagnostic items for colon cancer. The fiber colonoscope is 120 to 180 cm long, can be bent, can observe the entire colon, and can perform electroresection, electrocoagulation and biopsy, and can detect early lesions.

2. The diagnosis of colon cancer also includes B-ultrasound scanning and CT scanning. Neither can directly diagnose colon tumors, but they are of certain value in determining the location, size, relationship with surrounding tissues, and lymph node and liver metastasis of the tumor.

3. X-ray examination, including barium meal examination of the entire digestive tract and barium enema examination. The latter is more suitable for patients with colon cancer. The initial signs of the disease may be intestinal wall stiffness and mucosal destruction, followed by constant filling defects and intestinal stenosis. This is also one of the diagnostic methods for colon cancer.

The above is the diagnosis of colon cancer. I hope everyone can understand it one by one. As long as the diagnosis of colon cancer is combined with some early, patients can receive treatment as soon as possible, and then it will not be difficult to control the disease. So if you want patients to control the disease early, please keep in mind the above diagnosis of colon cancer. Finally, I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
