Diagnosis:
The best modality to establish a diagnosis is an examination using colonoscopy and biopsy. This procedure involves the passing of a flexible tube with a light and camera into the colon through the anal canal and taking biopsies of suspicious lesions. Additional testing is needed to assess whether cancer has spread to adjacent tissues or distant organs (like Liver, lungs and lymph nodes). It includes doing computed tomography (CT scan) of the chest, abdomen and pelvis or whole-body PET CT scan for accurate staging. MRI may be useful in rectal cancers to determine its local stage and to facilitate preoperative planning. If cancer has spread, then molecular testing such as KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, HER2, MSI-H / dMMR are usually done to help decide on treatment.
