Colonoscopy is a medical procedure performed to examine the large intestine using sophisticated equipment such as fiber optic lens that is very flexible. Colonoscopy performed to examine the large intestine starts anus, rectum, sigmoid, onwards.
Recent research conducted on 1,100 patients found that those who examined using colonoscopy have a higher chance of survival and are often found to have cancer in the early stage can be cured.
In contrast, colon cancer patients whose disease does not know the unknown through a colonoscopy three times more likely to have a malignant tumor and has already spread to other parts of the body. Not only that, patients who did not perform a colonoscopy procedure is also known to have a higher risk of death.
"Doing a colonoscopy is important procedures that affect the possibility of life in cancer patients, as well as help improve the quality of life, and lower maintenance costs," said lead researcher Ramzi Amri from Massachusetts General Hospital, as reported by U.S. News.
This is most likely due to a colonoscopy, colon cancer can be detected and treated. For the majority of patients who do colonoscopy could soon be known and treated while the cancer is still in its early stages. It also causes patients undergoing colonoscopy are more likely to stay alive.
