Answer i
Hello, doctor would like to answer the question: "Can rectal malignant tumors be operated?" as follows:
You have not said how old your father is? Are there any comorbidities? Cancer if diagnosed early and timely surgery is the best outcome. If surgery is not possible, or the tumor is at a late stage, additional adjuvant therapy (chemo-radiation) is required. It is necessary to take an abdominal - subframe magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate, a CT scan of the chest and abdomen to check for common distant metastases (in the liver, lungs ..)
You can take your father to the nearest medical facility. or Hospital under Vinmec Health System for more detailed examination and consultation by doctors. Best regards!
