Colonoscopy in the Prevention, Detection and Treatment of Large Bowel Cancer

  • Chapter
Gastrointestinal Cancer 1

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 3))

Abstract

Since introduction of the fibreoptic colonoscope, into clinical practice in 1969–70, the investigation and management of colo-rectal disease has been transformed. For the first time since barium contrast radiology became available in the early years of this century, there is an alternative method for inspection of the whole colon and rectum and for the first time biopsies and tissue specimens can be taken from the proximal colon without recourse to operation. Not only will the instrument reach to previously inaccessible areas, but the view obtained in colour, in close-up and from the mucosal aspect is frequently better than that of the radiologist in black and white or that of the surgeon from the serosal aspect of the bowel.
