The doctor called the signs of colon cancer

Oncologist Evgeny Cheremushkin said that the presence of hidden blood in the stool, weight loss, weakness and other signs may indicate colon cancer. According to him, such symptoms often appear already with significant damage to the body, and at the time of seeking medical help, the disease may be in an advanced stage.

In conversation with aif.ru On Friday, June 27, the doctor noted that at an early stage, a malignant tumor can be detected using an endoscopic examination, and one of the possible markers may be a positive test result for hidden blood in the stool.

Cheryomushkin recommended to undergo an endoscopic examination for preventive purposes annually, especially for people over 40 years of age.
