A member asked:
Would a colonoscopy detect anal cancer? also could anal cancer develop within 8 months after a perfectly clean colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cancer worry: Your concern about anal cancer indicates the need for you to see your doctor. If and when you have been cleared of that consider seeing a clinical psychologist to be evaluated for health anxiety. You certainly may not have this but the history is limited here. Peace and good health.
