Treatment of rectal tumours – rectal tumours may be treated with surgery or endoscopic methods.
Both radiotherapy and chemotherapy are used in the treatment of tumours.
Surgical procedures fall into two groups with regard to the rectum: those that preserve it and those that involve its removal.
Which of these is used depends, among other things, on how close the tumour of the rectumlies to the anus, and how far it has invaded the sphincter system of the rectum.
