A member asked:
Small lesion near cecum which needs ct scan. colonscoopy last year did not have this. bright blood, hemoriods found in both colonscoppies. cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A consideration: Cecal lesions identified on colonoscopy really need confirmation. If something is confirmed (not always the case) it might be a benign polyp, a fecolith (solidified stool), or a small cancer. The bright red blood isn't particularly concerning for a cecal cancer as it is likely due to the diagnosed hemorrhoids. Follow your doctor's recommendations for work up with CT scan/other tests. Good luck!
