A member asked:
Would colon cancer show up on a pelvic or abdominal ultrasound test?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
May, not reliable: A mass may be detectable, especially if there is large late stage cancer. Ultrasound is not the prefered way to diagnose colon cancer; colonoscopy is.

Not usually: The best way to find colon cancer is with a colonoscopy.
