A member asked:
What would you do to decide if you have colon cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only way: To know for sure is by colonoscopy. Another screening test is fecal occult blood testing. If you are not in a high risk group, screening colonoscopy is recommended at age 50 years. Consult your doctor which test is appropriate for you.
