Diagnostic du cancer colorectal

Le seul examen qui permet de faire le diagnostic du cancer colorectal est la coloscopie. La coloscopie virtuelle, examen d’imagerie comparable à un scanner abdomino pelvien, n’est proposée qu’en cas d’échec de la coloscopie.

La coloscopie

La coloscopie permet de visualiser l'intérieur du côlon grâce à une micro-caméra. Cet examen est réalisé sous anesthésie générale pour éviter les douleurs. Une bonne préparation du côlon par une "purge" avant l'examen, est indispensable.
