Fecal occult blood test (FOBT): This take-home test looks for blood in stool. A stool sample is examined for traces of blood not visible to the naked eye. Fecal immunochemical test (FIT): This take-home test detects blood proteins in stool.[mdanderson.org]
Clinical signs consist of tenesmus, hematochezia, dyschezia, rectal bleeding unassociated with defecation, and polyp prolapse. Also vomiting, diarrhea and weight loss can occur. Leiomyoma is the second most common benign tumor.[vin.com]
The presence of hematochezia is six-times greater in a LGIB than with a UGIB. [5] Occasionally, a person with a LGIB will not present with any signs of internal bleeding, especially if there is a chronic bleed with ongoing low levels of blood loss.[en.wikipedia.org]
She was studied because of abdominal pain located in lower hemiabdomen, as well as hematochezia and diarrhea, these symptoms accompanied by weight loss during the last month.[scielo.isciii.es]

In all cases, the preoperative workup included endoscopic examination of the rectum, biopsy of the tumor, computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis, and chest x-ray.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although endoscopically diagnosed with multiplecolonicpolyps, presumed to be hamartomas, and an invasive rectal adenocarcinoma, postoperative pathology findings confirmed the rectal cancer and showed multiple colonic adenomas.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
RESULTS: About half the patients on each of the two treatment arms experienced at least one episode of severe or worse toxicity, and there was one treatment-related death on each arm. No episodes of leukemia have been reported.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A review of the clinical trials evaluating this treatment modality shows that it can decrease the rate of local recurrence and may even improve the overall 5-year survival.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

General reference Etiology CRC most often occurs as transformation within adenomatous polyps . About 80% of cases are sporadic, and 20% have an inheritable component.[merckmanuals.com]
Multiple etiological factors are thought to increase the risk of colorectal cancer. 9 Some investigators have implicated lifestyle changes as the cause for increased incidence of rectal cancer, while others think of genetic factors.[jpma.org.pk]

The mucin, in turn, creates a barrier that may, in fact, prevent chemotherapy medications from effectively penetrating cancer cells. In short, the chemo may not be able to get where it needs to be.[verywellhealth.com]

CAN RECTAL CANCER BE PREVENTED? Rectal cancer is preventable. Nearly all rectal cancer develops from rectal polyps, which are benign growths on the rectal wall.[fascrs.org]
Prevention If there is a family history of developing such cancer, one should get regular screening tests to protect themselves from the disease. Other prevention measures include: Quitting smoking. Limiting alcohol consumption.[medanta.org]
