* Tumor offices of a non-cancerous tumors, not spreading in other parts of the body, and rarely pose a threat to the life of the patient. Usually be removed by surgery and can not return for the most part.

* Malignancies a cancerous tumors, can attack and destroy tissues and organs neighbours. They can proliferation in different parts of the body (Nqilat) to enter the blood stream or lymphatic system and the formation of new tumors.

Because of the ability of cancer to spread, it is important for the doctor to discover the presence of tumor and whether the cancer at an early stage. Once the diagnosis of the situation the doctor can begin treatment.

Diagnosis: If the symptoms felt by the person to the risk of injury colon or rectum cancer Sy Sall physician for the patient medical history, and will be a full examination. In addition to examining the vital signs (temperature, pulse, blood pressure, etc.) are usually several physician examinations.

* Doctors examine the rectum after the introduction of the finger wearing gloves Lin straight to the felt gently whether there are any tumours.

An action lightly and alleged high telescope, and will be inserted into the rectum. Some of these perspectives solid, and others offer flexible to the doctor Preview higher colon. And detected 50% of cases of colon and rectum cancer by screening Laparoscopic.

Following these initial steps of the examination, the doctor may ask some laboratory tests and other examinations.

The surgeon may remove the cancer patient only, then hit parts of the proper Colon each other, and this has made the eradication of partial intestines, which are usually the solution is required. Furthermore, the contract is the removal of lymphatic adjacent to the tumor during the operation, given the fact that the lymphatic system is one of the ways in which cancer spreads through the body, the surgeon who shall send them for laboratory testing to detect the presence of any cancerous cells in view of the importance of such information in future planning for treatment.
