Rectal differentiated adenocarcinoma, 5-8cm away from anus, can you protect anus?
It should be reversible. My mother is less than 4cm from the anus, and the tumor is very small, close to 2cm. It's a success to keep the anus, not to mention that your father is farther away, so it's definitely no problem. It is very important to choose a hospital with mature technology. At first, we looked for two hospitals, all of which said that the possibility of anus preservation was very small. Later, we went to a specialized hospital and the operation was very successful. Seek more hospital consultation in the local area. My mother made it in Sichuan Cancer Hospital. It's too far from your home. Before making a decision, go to the local cancer hospital to see an expert. Go to two more hospitals. Don't make a decision so quickly.
