Best Doctors for Colon Cancer Treatment in Warangal

Colon cancer is a serious disease that starts as small growths on the inner lining of the large intestine. The small growths are known as polyps and they are initially non cancerous. Polyps can become cancerous over many years and the cancer can then spread to other parts of the body.

The symptoms of colon cancer include bloating in the stomach, blood in the stools, changes in the bowel movements, tiredness and unexplained weight loss.

The diagnosis of colon cancer involves a number of tests, including blood tests, imaging tests and a colonoscopy. These tests allow oncologists to find the exact position of the cancerous growth and determine the stage of the disease. Colon cancer is treated by removing the cancerous growth. Parts of the large intestine may also be removed along with the cancerous growth. In many cases, oncologists provide chemotherapy or other therapies before the surgical treatment.
