How To Interpret A Colonoscopy Report?

hope you can help us with the interpretration of the following colonoscopy results:
Scout film is unremarkable. There is retrograde flow of barium from the rectum to the cecum with no reflux into the terminal ileum. In the mid sigmoid is a short segment of narrowing, measuring 7.0 cm in length, with an "apple core" appearance. The rest of the colon shows normal caliber with no other evident abnormality.

Hello,
This is not a colonoscopy report.
It is a barium enema report.
The report suggests that there is a growth in the sigmoid colon with narrowing of the lumen ( described as apple core appearence).
These features could be because of cancer of the sigmoid colon. I would suggest a colonoscopy with biopsy to confirm the diagnosis
Hope this helps
