What is the difference between Colon Cancer and Intestinal Cancer


What is the difference between Colon Cancer and Intestinal Cancer?
And how does one get screened for Intestinal cancer? Colon cancer runs in my family and I have a colonoscopy every year. But I found out that a close relative has Intestinal cancer. How does one get screened for Intestinal Cancer? Smar A** You know this is a serious question about my health and I have a relative that is dying of cancer and all you A** Holes can do is make smart A** jokes. Thank you Valley R! Thank you Lovemybebe's!

about 5 feet... You already answered your own question... the Colonoscopy If its that serious... see a doctor... how in God's green Earth would you expect an actual answer you can REALLY use on this venue, which has everything from 9-yr-old kiddies... to some real CRETINS...... And more importantly.... why are you asking for CRITICAL medical advice on an entertainment type venue???? and people wonder why folks dont take these questions seriously......

The Colon is just the last 5 or 6" of the intestines. You get screened by contacting a GI (Gastro-Intestinal) doctor. When they do a colonoscopy the do go up into the intestines ... they test both areas.

Your colon is only a portion at the end of your large intestines. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/intestinalcancer.html
