How to check for right colon cancer

Colon cancer is a malignant tumor disease that occurs in the digestive tract. It is relatively common in clinical practice. Patients with early colon cancer have no symptoms. In many cases, it is easy to be confused. Its harmfulness can be imagined. Today, let's learn how to check for right colon cancer.

In fact, CT colonography is also a very effective method for colon cancer screening, and it is safe and non-invasive. For patients who suspect they have symptoms of colon cancer but are afraid of colonoscopy, research results show that CT colonography can detect 90% of precancerous lesions greater than or equal to 1 cm.
Experts said that CT colonography uses multi-slice spiral CT to perform thin-layer scans of the entire colon in supine and prone positions, and then uses the original cross-sectional two-dimensional images to perform three-dimensional reconstruction. It can observe the condition of the entire colon, so it is also called "simulated colonoscopy."
Compared with colonoscopy, the advantages of CT examination are that it has a low risk of colon perforation, is convenient and painless, and its X-ray radiation is lower than that of barium enema examination. Experts say that CT examination is as sensitive as colonoscopy, especially for polyps larger than 1 cm, and has a high detection sensitivity.
