| colonoscopy |
A visual examination of the entire colon and rectum, performed while the patient is sedated. A longer, flexible tube is placed through the rectum into the colon. The tube is linked to a video camera and display so the doctor can look for cancer or polyps. Polyps that are found can be removed using a wire loop that goes through the tube. Pieces of the polyp are then sent to a lab to see if cancer cells are present.
