Other screening tests for colorectal cancer, such as fecal occult blood tests (FOBTs) and flexible sigmoidoscopy, are not as accurate as colonoscopy. FOBTs can detect blood in the stool, which can be a sign of colorectal cancer. However, FOBTs are not very sensitive, meaning that they can miss some cases of colorectal cancer. Flexible sigmoidoscopy allows the doctor to view the only the rectum and the lower part of the colon.For these reasons, standard colonoscopy is the most accurate screening test for colorectal cancer. It is important to note that colonoscopy is not 100% accurate
Here are some additional reasons why standard colonoscopy is the most accurate for colorectal cancer:
1. It is a direct visualization of the colon. This means that the doctor can see any polyps or tumors that may be present, even if they are small or flat. 2. It allows the doctor to take biopsies. This means that the doctor can remove a small sample of tissue from any abnormalities that are seen. This tissue can then be sent to a lab for testing to determine whether or not it is cancerous. 3. It allows the doctor to remove polyps. This can help to prevent these polyps from becoming cancerous.
If you are at risk for colorectal cancer, talk to your doctor about getting screened. Colonoscopy is the most accurate screening test available, and it can help to save your life.
