A member asked:
Can an abdominal/pelvic ct scan incidentally detect colon cancer or polyps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incidental: An abdominal ct scan may incidentally demonstrate the suspicion of a fairly large colon cancer but not small lesions or polyps. A conclusive diagnosis of colon cancer requires a tissue diagnosis by biopsy.
