Rectal cancer develops in the last few inches of the large intestine (the rectum) and is often grouped with colon cancer under the term colorectal cancer. However, due to anatomical and functional differences, rectal cancer requires a distinct approach to diagnosis and treatment. Recognizing symptoms such as rectal bleeding, a feeling of incomplete evacuation, or pelvic discomfort can lead to early detection and more favorable outcomes.

A quick and essential physical examination where the doctor checks for abnormalities in the rectum by feeling with a gloved, lubricated finger.
Using a flexible tube with a camera to examine the rectum and colon lining for polyps or tumors. Suspicious areas are biopsied for histopathological analysis.
High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging provides detailed images of the rectum and surrounding tissues, helping to plan surgery and assess potential spread.
These imaging modalities help evaluate the extent of cancer and whether it has spread to distant organs like the liver or lungs.
Tissue samples obtained during endoscopy are examined microscopically to confirm the presence and type of cancer cells.
CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) levels may be measured to assist with diagnosis and monitor response to treatment.
Patients with a family history of rectal cancer may benefit from screening for hereditary syndromes such as Lynch Syndrome or FAP (Familial Adenomatous Polyposis) to guide surveillance and treatment.
