A member asked:
Had a ct scan and it showed a mass on the sigmoid colon 12.5 cm x 5.5 cm x 5. cm, is a mass this size always cancer ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily but : Other things can cause a mass on the colon but the one we worry about is cancer. Get a scope as soon as possible to rule that out or intervene should it be what you fear.
