Only by combining the diagnosis of rectal cancer can patients discover their condition in time

Rectal cancer is a common tumor disease. If the diagnosis method of rectal cancer is not combined as soon as possible, the patient may not be able to detect the disease in time, which will endanger his health and become very dangerous. Therefore, everyone should know more about the diagnosis of rectal cancer so that they can receive better treatment. Let's take a look at the specific methods for diagnosing rectal cancer.

Diagnosis of rectal cancer includes:

1. Proctoscopy or sigmoidoscopy: After the digital rectal examination, a proctoscopy should be performed to assist in diagnosis under direct vision, observe the shape of the mass, the upper and lower edges, and the distance from the anal edge, and take the mass tissue for pathological section examination to determine the nature of the mass and its degree of differentiation. For cancer located in the middle and upper rectum, which cannot be touched by fingers, sigmoidoscopy is a better method for diagnosing rectal cancer.

2. Barium enema and fiber colonoscopy: They are not very helpful in diagnosing rectal cancer, so they are not included in routine examinations and are only used to rule out multiple colorectal tumors.

3. Rectal examination: About 90% of rectal cancers, especially lower rectal cancers, can be detected by digital examination alone. Rectal examination can also determine the size and degree of infiltration of the palpable mass, whether it is fixed, and whether there are implanted masses outside the intestinal wall or in the pelvic cavity. This is also a diagnostic method for rectal cancer.

The above is the diagnosis method of rectal cancer. I hope everyone can understand it one by one. As long as the above diagnosis of rectal cancer is combined, patients can control the disease as early as possible, and of course it can also help with its later treatment. So if you want patients to receive treatment as soon as possible, please keep these rectal cancer diagnoses in mind. I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
