Advanced Diagnosis and Management of Colon Cancer: Techniques and Treatment Approaches

This case presentation explores the usual and atypical manifestations of colon cancer, emphasizing the importance of advanced imaging techniques in diagnosis. It covers double contrast barium enema, colonoscopy, CT scans, and MRI for evaluating colon conditions. Each method’s advantages, limitations, and the significance of immediate polyp removal are discussed. Treatment options, including surgical interventions and adjuvant chemotherapy for various stages of colon cancer, are highlighted, providing a comprehensive overview for medical professionals.

  5. Double contrast Barium enema • Colonoscopy • CT Scan • MRI • Virtual colonoscopy

  6. colon is first filled with barium • the barium is drained out, leaving only a thin layer of barium on the wall of the colon • colon is then filled with air • This provides a detailed view of the inner surface of the colon, making it easier to see narrowed areas (strictures), diverticula, or inflammation. • This technique can miss the (less common) flat polyp.

  7. A lighted probe called a colonoscope is inserted into the rectum and the entire colon to look for polyps and other abnormalities that may be caused by cancer. • A colonoscopy has the advantage that if polyps are found during the procedure they can be immediately removed. • Tissue can also be taken for biopsy.

  8. an x-ray test that produces detailed cross-sectional images of your body • Instead of taking one picture, like a regular x-ray, a CT scanner takes many pictures as it rotates around you while you lie on a table. • A computer then combines these pictures into images of slices of the part of your body being studied. • Unlike a regular x-ray, a CT scan creates detailed images of the soft tissues in the body. • This test can help tell if colon cancer has spread into your liver or other organs.

  9. provide detailed images of soft tissues in the body • uses radio waves and strong magnets instead of x-rays • useful in looking at abnormal areas in the liver that might be due to cancer spread • They can also help determine the extent of rectal cancers. • little more uncomfortable than CT scans • First, they take longer -- often up to an hour. • Second, you have to lie inside a narrow tube, which is confining and can upset people with claustrophobia

  10. replaces X-ray films in the double contrast barium enema with a special computed tomography scan • requires special workstation software in order for the radiologist to interpret • This technique is approaching colonoscopy in sensitivity for polyps. • However, any polyps found must still be removed by standard colonoscopy.

  11. Surgery is the ONLY hope • Adjuvant chemotherapy for Colon CA • Stage III disease • High risk Stage II disease • Obstruction • High grade histology
