Colon Cancer Detection Tools
Colon cancer screening can find and remove precancerous polyps (adenoma) or early stage cancer (when it is generally considered to be more treatable). Your doctor may use some of the following screening and diagnostic tests: physical examination, blood tests, biopsy, colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and endorectal ultrasound.
