colonoscopy is gold standard for colon cancer diagnosis. becomes routine in pts over 55 years old, especially in lieu of positive fecal occult blood test. hope this helps.

From your National Cancer Institute; Endorectal ultrasound: An ultrasound probe is inserted into your rectum. The probe sends out sound waves that people cannot hear. The waves bounce off your rectum and nearby tissues, and a computer uses the echoes to create a picture. The picture may show how deep a rectal tumor has grown or whether the cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other nearby tissues. Two for the Treatment list. Hormone therapy. Aromatase Inhibitor therapy.

How about a bronchoscopy? Laparoscopy? Wireless capsule endoscopy? Or perhaps an Octreoscan or Gallium 68 Octreotide PET scan? (Straight out of "House"). For treatment you can't beat peptide receptor radionucide therapy (PRRT).
