Colon or colorectal cancer can be detected by blood tests, colonoscopy/ sigmoidoscopy, using dye and X-rays to make a picture of your colon (double contrast barium enema) and using multiple CT images to create a picture of your colon. CT or MRI scans of the abdomen, pelvic area, chest, or brain may be used to stage the cancer. Sometimes, PET scans are also used. * Family history and some dietary factors increase a person's risk of colorectal cancer. * Typical symptoms include bleeding during a bowel movement, fatigue, and weakness. * Screening tests are important for people over 50. * Colonoscopy is often used to make the diagnosis. * Cancer that is caught early is most curable. * Surgery is usually performed to remove the cancer.
