What is Rectal Cancer?

To better understand Rectal cancer we need to understand that the rectum's primary function is to store formed stool in preparation for evacuation. There are 3 layers to the rectum. Another important component of the rectum is the surrounding lymph nodes which are part of the immune system and assist in conducting surveillance for harmful materials (including viruses and bacteria) that may be threatening the body.

More than 40,000 people are diagnosed with rectal cancer of the 150,000 cases of colorectal cancer diagnosed each year in the United States. The most common type of rectal cancer is adenocarcinoma, which is a cancer arising from the mucosa. Cancer cells can also spread from the rectum to the lymph nodes on their way to other parts of the body.

What are the symptoms of Rectal Cancer?

Bleeding - Seeing blood mixed with stool is a sign to seek immediate Health care. Just the same bear in mind that although many people bleed due to hemorrhoids, a doctor should still be notified in the event of rectal bleeding.
Obstruction - We are referring to a rectal mass that may grow so large that it prevents the normal passage of stool. When this happens this blockage may lead to the feeling of severe constipation or pain when having a bowel movement. In addition, abdominal pain or cramping may occur due to the blockage. Also keep in mind that the stool size may appear narrow so that it can be passed around the rectal mass. Therefore, pencil-thin stool could be even another sign of an obstruction from rectal cancer.
A person with rectal cancer may also have the sensation that the stool just cannot be completely evacuated after each bowel movement.
