ROLE OF ULTRASONOGRAPHY AND COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN ASSESSMENT . AND STAGING OE COLORECTAL NEOPlASMS

Abstract

Colorectal cancer is major health problem. Colorectal polyp is one of the most important risk factor and there is compelling evidence that most (if not all) cancers of the colon, except those that develop in inflammatory bowel disease, arise in adenomatous polyp (adenoma carcinoma sequence).

Early detection of colorectal carcinoma leads to marked improvement of the survival rate. Physicians concemed with the detection and therapy of colorectal cancer predict that tllis disease will become the center of the next great effori in cancer screening.
