Colon cancer. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze-fractured section through the colon (large intestine) wall of a patient suffering from colonic cancer. Tumour cells (rounded structures,upper frame) are seen on the mucosal lining of the colon. These metastatic cells are spreading down through the sub-mucosa (lower frame),the layer that lies beneath the lining of the colon. This patient is suffering from an adenocarcinoma,a malignant tumour derived from glandular structures in the colon wall. The cancer may be treated by surgical removal of the affected area.
