A member asked:
Is a reported 18cm mass lesion in distal sigmoid on a colonoscopy report likely to be cancer ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mass: Sorry to hear that, but the action to be taken is not on Healthtap!. Get rechecked ASAP and get the mass addressed. Typically colon masses if addressed and can be removed and there is no evidence for spread beyond the colon have good prognosis. See your provider soon! "Get Er'Done!"
