A member asked:
Scared i've colorectal cancer.had recent abd x-ray, abd ct w/ contrast, and ab ultrasound.do these rule out the possibility of late stage cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: However, they do not rule out the possibility of early colon cancer. Colonoscopy is the standard test done for early detection of colon cancer and is recommended for patients with family history of colon cancer even at younger ages (less than 50). Is there any reason you are specifically scared of having colorectal cancer? Talk to your doc about your fears as well as symptoms.
