Diagnosis
Biopsy
A blood sample is tested to look for a substance called CEA, which can sometimes help show if cancer is present or how it’s responding to treatment.
Colonoscopy
An endoscopy is done by gently passing a thin tube with a camera into the colon, and a small tissue sample is taken to check if there are any tumors or signs of cancer.
Radiological
Different imaging tests like CT scans, PET scans, and MRIs are done to help find the exact location and size of the tumor inside the body.
Blood tests
After a sample of the affected tissue is taken, more tests are done to confirm the diagnosis and check if cancer is present.
