¿Qué es la detección del cáncer de recto?
Rectal cancer screening detects signs of cancer in the rectum. Cáncer de recto doesn’t always cause symptoms in its early stages, so screenings are important to catch the condition as soon as possible.
Si su examen de detección muestra signos de cáncer de recto, se le realizarán pruebas adicionales para ayudar a diagnosticar la afección. Cuando se detecta a tiempo, el cáncer de recto se considera muy tratable.
¿Por qué es tan importante la detección del cáncer de recto?
Screening for rectal cancer is important as it can find any signs of cancer in its earliest stages when it's easier to treat. Choosing a Colonoscopia for your screening can also remove precancerous rectal polyps and prevent cancer from developing.
Colorectal cancer is one of the top five types of cancer diagnosed in the United States. However, with screening options that help stop rectal cancer before it has the chance to grow, the number of overall cases of this type of cancer has been decreasing.
Rectal cancer symptoms are typically not immediately noticeable when the cancer first develops. Screening is one of the best ways to find cancer in its early stages. When localized rectal cancer is found before it can spread, the five-year survival rate is 90%.
