Same Day Colorectal (Colon) Cancer Screening in London

Colorectal (Colon) cancer is a disease in which cells in the colon or rectum grow out of control. Sometimes it is called colon cancer, for short. The colon is the large intestine or large bowel. The rectum is the passageway that connects the colon to the anus.

Abnormal growths, called polyps, form in the colon or rectum. Over time, some polyps may turn into cancer. Screening tests can find polyps so they can be removed before turning into cancer. However, people who have a history of polyps have a higher risk of the disease, and screening may still be recommended at irrespective of age.

Early Signs & Symptoms of Colorectal (Colon) Cancer

Colorectal (Colon) Cancer can often be prevented through regular screening, which can find polyps before they become cancerous. Talk with your doctor about when screening should begin based on you’re your health conditions irrespective of your age.

Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy allows the doctor to look inside the entire rectum and colon while a patient is sedated. A flexible, lighted tube called a colonoscope is inserted into the rectum and the entire colon to look for polyps or cancer.

Computed tomography (CT or CAT) colonography: CT colonography, sometimes called virtual colonoscopy, is a screening method being studied at the hospital.

Sigmoidoscopy: A sigmoidoscopy uses a flexible, lighted tube that is inserted into the rectum and lower colon to check for polyps, cancer, and other abnormalities. During this procedure, a doctor can remove polyps or other tissue for later examination.

Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and fecal immunochemical test (FIT): A fecal occult blood test is used to find blood in the feces, or stool, which can be a sign of polyps or cancer.

Stool DNA tests: This test analyses the DNA from a person’s stool sample to look for cancer. It uses changes in the DNA that occur in polyps and cancers to find out if a colonoscopy needs to be done.
