Diagnostic / Examination

  • Examination of the abdomen, abdomen and neck area
    and anorectal Finger examination

    Diagnosis is first an examination of the patient, and the overall condition of the patient is determined through examination of the abdomen, abdomen, and neck area, and an anorectal by finger examination.

  • Colonography

    It is a test to diagnose abnormalities in the large intestine using an X-ray fluoroscopy machine and an X-ray imaging machine after injecting a substance (usually a barium suspension) that is not well transmitted through the anus.

  • Colonoscopy

    This is a test in which an endoscope is inserted through the anus to observe the inside of the large intestine and the terminal portion of the small intestine adjacent to the large intestine.

  • MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    This is a test that transfers high frequencies to the human body in a strong magnetic field, measures the echoing electromagnetic waves, and obtains images to diagnose diseases.

  • Trans-anal ultrasound

    This is a machine that inserts an ultrasound device into the anus to take pictures and rotates 360 degrees to accurately diagnose the delicate structures of the anus through computer work.

  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET)

    One of the nuclear medicine testing methods using positron emission is to inject medicines containing a radioactive isotope that emits positrons into the body and track them using a positron emission tomography machine to determine their distribution in the body.

Early Colon Cancer Treatment Program

In the case of early-stage colon or rectal cancer limited to polyps or polyps, which is the pre-stage of colon cancer, treatment can be done with colonoscopy using techniques such as polypectomy or endoscopic submucosal dissection.

It is performed to completely remove the cancerous tissue and nearby lymph nodes to minimize recurrence, preserve the anal sphincter, and preserve urinary and sexual function. Surgery using a laser or laparoscope is also performed.

After surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are administered to reduce recurrence and increase the cure rate. Even if the cancer is completely removed through surgery, small traces of it may remain, which poses a risk of recurrence over time.
