These growths are called polyps. Some types of polyps can change into cancer over time (usually many years), but not all polyps become cancer. Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer that affects the colon (large intestine) or rectum. To understand colorectal cancer, it helps to know about the normal structure and function of the colon and rectum.
The majority of colorectal cancer start as polyps, which are small overgrowths of tissue in the lining of the colon. Most polyps are benign (non-cancerous), but some may grow out of control and become cancerous. Most precancerous polyps produce few if any symptoms, so it is very important to get screened regularly for colorectal cancer from a Colorectal Surgeon as the cancer prevention is possible. The cancer may then expand metastasiseto lymph nodes nearby or to other areas of the body – most commonly, the liver and lungs. Colorectal cancer screenings allow your doctor to find ad remove polyps before they turn into cancer and lead into cancer prevention, reduced risk factors and identify cancer type.
To diagnose colorectal cancer, several tests may be performed. These tests include a colonoscopy, which allows for the visualization of the colon and rectum through a flexible tube with a camera. Other diagnostic procedures may include sigmoidoscopy, virtual colonoscopy, and various imaging tests like CT scans and MRI scans.

These can include local excision, colectomy, and proctectomy.

From the moment I walked into the clinic, the service was subpar. The receptionist was rude and unhelpful, showing no interest in assisting me. Additionally, the wait time was excessive. I had to wait over an hour past my scheduled appointment time without any explanation or updates from the staff. When I was finally seen, the doctor seemed rushed and did not give adequate attention to my concerns, leaving me feeling undervalued and without clear answers. To make matters worse, the clinic's facilities were dirty and poorly maintained, which raised serious concerns about the hygiene of the place. The lack of professionalism and care for patients was evident in every aspect of my visit. I definitely would not recommend Dr. Astha Clinic to anyone and hope they can significantly improve their services and customer care in the future.denise ducati2024-07-06I have had severe hemorrhoids for a long time and hestitant to get the surgery.
