HOW TO DIAGNOSE?

As a result of a colonoscopy, the doctor is able to examine the entire rectum and colon of a patient while he or she is sedated. Performing this test is the specialty of a colonoscopist. The diagnosis of colorectal cancer depends on the surgical removal of the tumor for a clear picture of its location and spread.

Biopsies are performed to examine the tissue under a microscope. Having a biopsy performed can confirm the presence of colorectal cancer. Biopsies can be performed during colonoscopies or when tissues are removed during surgery.

Identifying specific genes, proteins, and other tumor-specific factors may be recommended by your doctor through laboratory testing. Tests of the tumor’s molecular composition may also be called molecular pathology.

People with colorectal cancer may become anemic because of bleeding into their large intestine and rectum. CBC tests, which measure the number of red blood cells in the blood, can indicate bleeding.Colorectal cancer patients who are currently receiving treatment often undergo CEA tests to track their progress.
