Recently saw a baseball video where a man had one too many hotdogs at the game which resulted in him getting stomach pain the next day. When he went to the doctor they detected cancer in him and treated him.
How is it possible to detect cancer even before the symptoms show?

Very lucky. Bowel cancer is cancer found anywhere in the large bowel, which includes the colon and rectum. It’s one of the most common types of cancer.
He probably had a **colonoscopy.** This is where a thin, flexible, tube with a camera is used to look inside your bowel to check for problems..
During the colonoscopy, a small sample of the lining of your bowel may be taken for testing (called a **biopsy**) when the tissue sample is examined under the microscope, abnormal cells may be identified, which can help to diagnose a specific condition.
stay safe
