Case description

Another image of this neoplasia, the colonoscope in retroflexed maneuver is appreciated. Adenocarcinoma of the colon is a primary cause of mortality and morbidity in North America and Western Europe. Colonic cancers are the most common GI carcinomas and have the best prognosis. The 5-year survival rate is approximately 50%. Survival rates may be improved by screening and removal of adenomatous polyps. Almost all colonic cancers are primary adenocarcinomas.
