Case description

Endoscopic View of Rectal Cancer Almost all rectal cancers are primary adenocarcinomas. Adenocarcinoma of the rectum is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in North America and Western Europe. Rectal cancers are, after colon cancers, the second most common gastrointestinal (GI) carcinoma, and have the best prognosis. The 5-year survival rate is approximately 50%. Screening for and removing adenomatous polyps may improve survival rates.
