The Role of Colonoscopy in Diagnosing Colorectal Cancer
Received Date: Oct 01, 2024 / Published Date: Oct 29, 2024
Abstract
Colonoscopy is a pivotal diagnostic tool in the early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. This procedure involves using a flexible tube equipped with a camera to visualize the inner lining of the colon and rectum. Colonoscopy enables the identification and removal of precancerous polyps and earlystage tumors, significantly improving treatment outcomes and reducing cancer mortality. It is essential for accurate diagnosis, staging of cancer, and ongoing surveillance for individuals at high risk. By detecting abnormalities early and facilitating preventive measures, colonoscopy plays a crucial role in colorectal cancer management.
