Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 2nd-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. It is a heterogeneous disease, arising from genetic and epigenetic abnormalities, with influence from environmental factors.
Colorectal cancer(CRC) is a major health problem in the Western world. The diagnostic process is a challenge in all health systems for many reasons: There are often no specific symptoms; lower abdominal symptoms are very common and mostly related to nonneoplastic diseases, not CRC; diagnosis of...
Laboratory tests Routine bloods should be performed for all suspected cases. Afull blood count(FBC) may show amicrocytic anaemia(an iron-deficiency anaemia), as well as LFTs and clotting. The tumour markerCarcinoembryonic Antigen(CEA)* should not be used as a diagnostic test, due to poor sensi...
In the post-pandemic era, focus on diagnosis of colorectal cancer is expected to see a major rise as WHO has predicted a massive rise in cases for this decade. More diagnostic providers will be targeting cost-effective methods to boost sales of tests and increase diagnostic numbers. Competitive...
The colorectal cancer is a serious health problem. The diagnosis of the disease mostly relies on an invasive procedure. A non-invasive diagnostic test such as an immunoassay, may facilitate diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the use of antibodies againstFusoba...

Genetic testing can tell you whether you carrygenes(discrete, functional units of DNA) that may eventually cause colon cancer. The sooner this information is known, the sooner diagnostic testing and effective treatment can begin. If you have a strong family history of colon cancer, you should di...
Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in Kentucky, and it often doesn't cause symptoms, especially in its early stages. Regular screening, beginning at age 45, is the key to preventing this disease and finding it early. ...
