Cancer of the caecum. Endoscopic view of a cancerous growth (upper centre) in the caecum,the pouch that connects the ileum (small intestine) to the colon of the large intestine. This tumour is an adenocarcinoma,a type of colorectal cancer arising from glandular epithelial tissue. Adenocarcinoma accounts for 90-95 per cent of all colorectal cancers. Certain dietary habits,such as a diet high in fat,appear to be significant risk factors. Here,it has also led to a discolouration of the wall of the intestine known as melanosis coli | |
