Colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine (colon), the lower part of your digestive system. Rectal cancer is cancer of the last several inches of the colon. Together, they're often referred to as colorectal cancers. Most cases of colon cancer begin as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called adenomatous polyps. Over time some of these polyps become colon cancers. Polyps may be small and produce few, if any, symptoms. For this reason, doctors recommend regular s...creening tests to help prevent colon cancer by identifying and removing polyps before they become colon cancer.

Why have a Colonoscopy done? A colonoscopy is a true cancer prevention procedure. Since polyps, which are unusual expansion of tissues projecting from the mucous membrane, are the precursor to colon cancer, finding these polyps during a colonoscopy and having them removed will dramatically decrease the risk of it turning cancerous. Also, within your colon there are many types of problems that can occur. A colonoscopy is a great method used to identify and/or correct these pro...blems. By directly viewing the colon, one can identify: Polyps - these fleshy tumors can be easily seen and later be removed. They are the precursor of colon cancer. Ulcerative (or Crohn's disease) - chronic reoccurring inflammation of the colon. Colon Cancer - one of the most serious cancer, yet a highly curable malignancy. Diverticulitis - inflammations of pouches (which develop over time and get infected) on the outside of the colon. Bleeding lesions - bleeding can occur in different parts of the colon. Abdominal symptoms. Abnormal barium x-ray exam. Chronic diarrhea, constipation, and/or unexplainable change to bowel routine. Anemia - disorder of the blood.
