Rectal Cancer treatment in Ameerpet
Rectal cancer occurs in the last portion of the large bowel. Because the rectum sits in the narrow pelvis close to other organs, treatment sequencing matters: many patients receive radiation with chemotherapy before surgery to shrink the tumour and improve the chance of sphincter-preserving operations.

About rectal cancer
Rectal cancer occurs in the last portion of the large bowel. Because the rectum sits in the narrow pelvis close to other organs, treatment sequencing matters: many patients receive radiation with chemotherapy before surgery to shrink the tumour and improve the chance of sphincter-preserving operations.
Who is at higher risk
- Age above 50
- Polyps and inflammatory bowel disease
- Family history or inherited syndromes
- Diet high in red and processed meat
- Smoking and alcohol
- Obesity
Having a risk factor doesn’t mean you will get cancer.
How it’s diagnosed
Digital rectal examination and colonoscopy with biopsy establish the diagnosis. Pelvic MRI defines local extent; CT and PET-CT check for spread before planning treatment.
Many of these tests can be arranged by your CION team at CION Ameerpet.

Your plan depends on the type and stage of the cancer and on your overall health. CION’s tumour board agrees on it with you.

Rectal Cancer treatment: Other CION centres in Hyderabad
Cancers We Treat
CION treats these and other cancers. Not sure about yours? Ask when you call.
1Can the anal sphincter be saved?
Often, yes — especially when radiation and chemotherapy are given first to shrink the tumour. The feasibility depends on how close the tumour is to the sphincter.
2Why is radiation given before rectal surgery?
Pre-operative chemo-radiation lowers the chance of the cancer returning in the pelvis and can downsize the tumour, making a better operation possible.
3How is rectal cancer different from piles?
Both can bleed, which is why persistent bleeding needs examination. A simple proctoscopy or colonoscopy distinguishes the two reliably.
4Where is rectal cancer treated near Ameerpet?
You can see a CION specialist for rectal cancer at CION Ameerpet (2nd Floor, Plot No. 4, HMDA Maitrivanam, Satyam Theatre Rd, beside Blue Fox Hotel, Srinivasa Nagar, Ameerpet, Hyderabad, Telangana 500038). Consultations, tests, biopsies and day-care chemotherapy are done there; surgery and radiation are arranged at partner centres. Call 1800 202 8726 to book.
5Is the tumour board review free?
