Rectal Cancers
Rectal cancer is a malignant disease characterized by abnormal (cancerous) growth of cells in the rectum. Rectal cancers are typically treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy. When diagnosed at an early stage, rectal cancers have a high survival rate. Early symptoms of rectal cancer include diarrhea, constipation, and bloody stool.
