“…(iii) Colonoscopy can directly visualize the shape, size, and position of the tumor in addition to the ability to obtain a biopsy from the suspected lesion. Colonoscopy has a very high sensitivity, up to 94.7%, but it may miss lesions mainly in the right side of the colon ( 35 ). (iv) Following a barium enema, an X-ray examination may detect evidence of mucosal damage and filling defects at the tumor site.…”

“…Whereas people having adenomatous polyps or polyps with villous or tubulovillous dysplasia are at higher risk of developing synchronous and metachronous CRC primary cancer. Unfortunately, people who survived cancer at a childhood age and received abdominal radiation are at higher risk of developing CRC thus, it is recommended to adopt a screening session after 10 years or at the age of 35 ( 3 ). Hence, the early detection and removal of preformed or developing polyps will eliminate the chances of CRC.…”

“…However, most drugs and their combinations generate side effects that can lead to treatment failure. For example, neurotoxicity is induced by OXA [ 7 ], cardiotoxicity by 5-fluorouracil [ 8 ], and severe neutropenia and hypersensitivity reactions follow paclitaxel treatment [ 9 ]. Additionally, drug resistance mechanisms induced by cytotoxins lead to poor response to chemotherapy and patient relapse [ 10 ].…”
