Can colonoscopy detect cancer?

Colonoscopy is one of the most effective tests for detecting colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps. It allows direct visualization of the colon lining and enables tissue biopsy or removal of suspicious growths during the same procedure. Early detection through colonoscopy can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
