Rectal Cancer Treatment
Options to Manage and Treat Rectal Cancer
Rectal cancer treatment involves a range of strategies to remove or control cancerous growths in the rectum. Treatment plans are personalised based on the stage of the cancer, the patient’s overall health, and preferences. One minimally invasive approach, Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS), has gained prominence for its ability to remove early-stage tumours with reduced recovery time. Other treatment options include conventional surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, each designed to maximise effectiveness and preserve quality of life.
Why Consider Rectal Cancer Treatment?
Early detection and timely treatment of rectal cancer significantly improve outcomes and survival rates. TAMIS offers a less invasive surgical option for early-stage tumours, leading to quicker recovery and fewer complications compared to traditional surgery. Conventional surgery may be required for more advanced cases, sometimes combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy to prevent recurrence. Seeking treatment early can improve prognosis, maintain bowel function, and provide peace of mind during a challenging time.

FAQs
TAMIS is a minimally invasive procedure that removes early-stage rectal tumours through the anus, avoiding large abdominal incisions.
Patients with small, early-stage rectal tumours may be suitable. Your specialist will determine eligibility after imaging and examination.
Recovery varies by procedure. TAMIS typically has a shorter recovery (a few days to a week) compared to conventional surgery, which may require several weeks.
Recurrence is possible, especially in advanced cases. Regular follow-ups and adherence to post-treatment care reduce the risk.
A colorectal surgeon or oncologist will consider tumour size, location, stage, and your overall health to recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
