Rectal Cancer Surgery

Rectal tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the tissues of the rectum, the lower part of the large intestine. They may be benign or malignant, and early diagnosis is important to determine the most appropriate treatment. Our experienced colorectal surgical team provides comprehensive evaluation and advanced treatment for rectal tumors, including minimally invasive techniques when appropriate.

What Are Rectal Tumors?

Rectal tumors can develop from different types of cells within the rectal wall. Some are benign, while others may be cancerous and require specialized treatment.

Treatment depends on the tumor’s type, size, location, stage, and relationship to surrounding structures, as well as the patient’s overall health.
