Rectal Cancer Treatment in Baner, Pune

What Is Rectal Cancer?

Rectal cancer develops in the last part of the large intestine (rectum). Because of its location near critical nerves and organs, treatment requires high surgical precision and coordinated oncology care.

Common Symptoms

• Change in bowel habits (constipation/diarrhea)

• Feeling of incomplete evacuation

• Rectal pain or pressure

• Unexplained weight loss

• Fatigue or anemia

Causes & Risk Factors

• Increasing age

• Family history of colorectal cancer

• Colon or rectal polyps

• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Diagnosis & Staging of Rectal Cancer

Accurate staging is critical to plan treatment. Our evaluation includes:

• Colonoscopy with biopsy

• MRI pelvis (gold standard for rectal cancer)

• CT scan of chest and abdomen

Rectal Cancer Treatment Options

Treatment depends on cancer stage, tumor location, and patient fitness. Our multidisciplinary tumor board designs an individualized plan.
