Patients must know some about the examination methods of colon cancer

Colon cancer is a common tumor disease in my country and is difficult to cure. If you don't combine some colon cancer examinations early, you may not be able to detect the patient's condition in time, and then you will miss the best time for treatment. Therefore, you should learn about some colon cancer examinations in advance to better detect the condition. Let's take a look at the methods of colon cancer examination.

Screening for colon cancer includes:

1. Intestinal cavity examination: Use a special fiber ultrasound endoscope to fill water between the ultrasound sensor and the intestinal wall, wrap a special water bag or an air bag around the ultrasound sensor and inject water into the intestinal cavity, so that the sensor can be measured through water. The measured image shows five layers of the intestinal wall, namely the mucosal layer, the muscularis mucosa, the submucosal layer, the muscularis propria and the serosa. This is one of the methods for checking colon cancer.

2. Ultrasound section imaging diagnosis: Ultrasound examination of colon tumors can be used in the following two aspects, namely, examination through the abdominal wall or through the intestinal cavity. This is also a checkup item for colon cancer.

3. Transabdominal examination: directly examine the location, size, and relationship of the primary intestinal mass with surrounding tissues; examine metastatic lesions: including retroperitoneal and mesenteric root lymph nodes, metastatic nodules or masses, whether there are metastatic nodules in the pelvis; and whether there are space-occupying solid masses in the liver. This type of examination for colon cancer is relatively common.
