Can you get colon cancer from wall thickening?

Need colonoscopy: I think you mean that if a wall looks thickened on an imaging study it can mean that there is a process going on at that level. Inflamatory or neoplastic. You need a colonoscopy to be certain

No: Causes of wall thickening are usually inflammation. Still, you should continue to be checked until the thickening disappears.
