A colonoscopy (we're gonna get graphic here) is a routine visual examination of the lining of the colon and rectum using a long, flexible fiber optic tool.  It's the most effective way of diagnosing any problems that may not appear on x-rays or other tests.  If they're found during the examination the doctor can also remove any polyps that could develop into cancer.
