Hvussu verður tarmkrabbi staðfestur?

Tykisrørskrabba verður staðfest við eini røð av kanningum og viðgerðum, sum kunnu vera:

1. Læknakanning: Læknin kannar barnið fyri at kanna, um tað hevur sjúkueyðkenni.

2. Blóðroyndir: Blóðroyndir kunnu hjálpa til at staðfesta, um nakað er óvanligt í blóðinum, sum kann benda á krabbamein.

3. Stólroyndir: Við eini stólroynd ber til at staðfesta, um blóð er í avførinum, og tað kann vera tekin um tarmkrabba.

4. Kolonoskopi: Hetta er ein kanning, har eitt tunt, smidligt rør við ljósi og myndatóli á endanum verður stungið inn í endavøddin fyri at kanna tarmin.

Undir eini tarmkanning kann læknin eisini taka vevnaðarroyndir (biopsiir) fyri at kanna, um krabbameinsfrumur eru.

5. Sigmoidoskopi: Sigmoidoskopiin kannar, eins og kolonoskopiin, tað sum er niðast í tarminum.

6. Virtuell tarmkanning: Hetta er ein CT-skanning av tarminum, sum gevur eina 3D-mynd av tarminum og endavøkstri.

7. Blodroynd í feces: Við hesi kanning verður kannað, um blóð er í avførinum, og tað kann benda á, at talan er um krabbamein.

8. Tvíkontrastbarievni: Hetta er ein røntgenkanning av tarminum og endavøddinum, har kontrast verður brúkt til at vísa á møguligar skeivleikar.

9. Biopsi: Við eini biopsi verður ein lítil nøgd av vevnaðinum tikin úr tarminum fyri at kanna tað við mikroskopi fyri at vita, um tað eru krabbameinsfrumur í.

10. Myndatøku: CT-skanningar, MR-skanningar og røntgenmyndir av bróstkassanum kunnu verða nýttar til at kanna, um krabbamein hevur breitt seg til onnur likamspartar.

Tá ið ein hevur fingið staðfest tarmkrabba, ger læknin av, hvussu langt krabbamein er komið, og tað er við til at avgera, hvør viðgerð er best.

Stigini verða ásett eftir, hvussu stórur vøksturin er, hvar hann er, og um hann hevur breitt seg til onnur øki í kroppinum.

How is colon cancer diagnosed?

Colon cancer is diagnosed through a combination of tests and procedures, which may include:

1. Physical examination: A doctor will perform a physical examination to check for any abnormalities or signs of illness.

2. Blood tests: Blood tests can help determine if there are any abnormalities in the blood that may indicate the presence of cancer.

3. Stool tests: A stool test can detect the presence of blood in the stool, which may be a sign of colon cancer.

4. Colonoscopy: This is a procedure in which a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera on the end is inserted into the rectum to examine the colon.

During a colonoscopy, the doctor can also take tissue samples (biopsies) to be examined for cancer cells.

5. Sigmoidoscopy: Similar to a colonoscopy, a sigmoidoscopy examines the lower part of the colon.

6. Virtual colonoscopy: This is a CT scan of the colon that creates a 3D image of the colon and rectum.

7. Fecal occult blood test: This test checks for the presence of blood in the stool, which may indicate the presence of cancer.

8. Double-contrast barium enema: This is an x-ray examination of the colon and rectum, in which a contrast material is used to highlight any abnormalities.

9. Biopsy: A biopsy is the removal of a small amount of tissue from the colon for examination under a microscope to determine if cancer cells are present.

10. Imaging tests: CT scans, MRI scans, and chest x-rays may be used to determine if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

Once a diagnosis of colon cancer is made, the doctor will determine the stage of the cancer, which helps determine the best course of treatment.

Staging is based on the size and location of the tumor, as well as whether it has spread to other parts of the body.
