Screening of asymptomatic average-risk patients for presence of colon cancer and early detection in precursor stages is of great interest to general population. Comprehensive evaluation of symptomatic or high-risk patients represents another important clinical focus. Available techniques for total colon imaging, rectal cancer staging and the role of positron emission tomography are discussed.
对无症状的平均风险患者进行结肠癌筛查以及在前体阶段进行早期检测，这对普通人群来说具有极大的意义。对有症状或高风险患者进行综合评估是另一个重要的临床重点。本文讨论了全结肠成像、直肠癌分期的现有技术以及正电子发射断层扫描的作用。
