There are many symptoms of late-stage rectal cancer. Do you know what the late-stage symptoms of rectal cancer are? Regarding this question, let our experts explain to you what the late-stage symptoms of rectal cancer are.

What are the late symptoms of rectal cancer? The following is an introduction to the late symptoms of rectal cancer :

1. Lumps can be felt during rectal examination. Patients with advanced rectal cancer have increased bowel movements, incomplete bowel movements, frequent urge to defecate, tenesmus, and other local irritation symptoms of the cancer. This is one of the advanced symptoms of rectal cancer.

2. Another typical symptom of advanced colorectal cancer is increased intestinal secretions, which is caused by irritation of the intestinal mucosa. A small amount of mucus secretions will be discharged with the stool, and there will be strips of mucus on the surface of the stool. As the tumor continues to develop, the irritation to the rectal mucosa will be greater, and the patient will feel mild discomfort in the rectum, or often have a sense of emptiness. In the late stage of colorectal cancer, when the surface of the tumor ulcerates, the stool will be thinner and may be watery and mixed with mucus and blood.

3. In the late stage of rectal cancer, the enlarged tumor leads to narrowing of the intestinal cavity and intestinal obstruction. When the intestinal cavity is completely blocked, symptoms of intestinal obstruction such as constipation, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain appear. This is also a symptom of late stage rectal cancer.
