An 85-year-old man with previously normal bowel function began to complain of constipation, rectal bleeding, and pencil-like stool. The results of a physical examination were negative.

Diagnostic Analysis

The elevated CEA level and the occult (hidden) blood in the stool indicated serious colorectal disease. Because the sigmoidoscopy was normal, the disease was suspected to be beyond the reach of the 25-cm sigmoidoscope. The barium enema study demonstrated a narrowing in the left side of the colon, which could have been caused by infection, infestation, or neoplasm. Adenocarcinoma of the colon was diagnosed by means of a colonoscopic biopsy. Another alternative to colonoscopy for this patient would be virtual colonoscopy. CT scan failed to show any evidence of metastasis. The patient had surgery to resect the left side of his colon. Postoperatively, his CEA level was 1.8 ng/mL. On examination 3 years later, no evidence of disease was found. Five years after surgery, his CEA had risen to 38 ng/mL. He was found to have liver metastasis from his primary tumor in the colon. He died 18 months after that diagnosis.

Critical Thinking Question

1. How would you respond if one of the patient’s children asked if he should be routinely screened for cancer by checking CEA levels?
2. What are the different levels of the bowel seen with the various forms of intestinal endoscopy?
3. What are the benefits of endoscopic colonoscopy compared to virtual colonoscopy?

Based on all the information so far, what problem(s) should the nurse consider the patient may have?
