In mid-April, Ms. Gao took the time to visit the gastroenterology department for an examination. Through palpation, the doctor found something unusual in Ms. Gao's abdomen and suggested that she quickly undergo a colonoscopy and CT scan. To her surprise, the results of the examination revealed a tumor in her rectum.
Fortunately, the tumor was small, and it was detected early. Although diagnosed as malignant, through non-invasive surgery, the tumor was cleanly removed, and Ms. Gao did not require follow-up chemotherapy. She has since recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
