Flexible sigmoidoscopy would have missed 15% of cancers in those presenting with symptoms alone. Patients with proximal tumours had a worse prognosis. Further research is needed to identify those presenting with symptoms alone who are at high risk of having proximal tumours and thus requiring whole colonic imaging.
