The average delay 7-9 months.
The risk factors:
1.change in bowel habit or continuous abdominal discomfort, insidious pain and distention.
2.Feces (stool) blended with blood and mucus.
3.progressive anemia and loss of weight and strength.

The physician hesitate to make the necessary examination because it involes soiling the fingers.
It is important to detect colorectal cancer within reach of the examiner's finger. Digital examination.

Helpful to identify other more proximal lesions.
Colonoscopy is still necessary to prove that the defect is neoplastic and, more importantly , to detect synchronous polys or cancer.Barium enema

Helpful to confirm the mass, enlarged lymph nodes and liver metastases.
CEA
increase in 60% of patients with colonic cancer.
Though its specificity is not satisfactory, CEA is helpful to judge the prognosis and recurrence.Ultrasonography and CT

Though its specificity is not satisfactory, CEA is helpful to judge the prognosis and recurrence.TREATMENT
Wide surgical resection of the lesion and its regional lymphatic drainage.
The primary tumor is resected, even if distant metastases have occurred, since prevention of obstruction or bleeding may offer palliation for long periods.TREATMENT

Obstructing lesions of the right colon
resection and anastomosis in one stage.
Obstructing lesions of the left colon
resection, anastomosis postponed, temporary end colostomy.
With the development of surgical procedures, antibiotics, and intra-operative lavage, resection and anastomosis can be performed in one stage.Treatment of obstruction

The prognosis is better
The 5 year survival rate of the patients with Duke's A, B, C stage tumor is 80%, 65%, 30% respectively.
