Can colonoscopy detect anal cancer?

Anal cancer is examined for the anus and rectum. The doctor or nurse will insert the fingers coated with lubricant and gloves into the rectum to feel if there is a lump or anything else in the lower part of the rectum. Once they feel unusual, they will do further examination. Because the anus and the lower part of the rectum are short, this examination is also well completed, using a igniter tube. This examination is also called anoscopy.

In this process, an ultrasonic transducer (probe) is inserted into the anus or rectum, and finally the internal tissue or organ is closed with the rebound high-energy sound wave (ultrasonic), and the echo is mutual. In the end, a picture of human tissue was formed.

This requires removing cells or tissues so that they can examine under a microscope for signs of cancer. Colonoscopy: the rectum of our body is very short, and it is also used for colonoscopy.
