Recovery after re**al cancer surgery depends largely on the tumor’s location.

Upper re**al tumors usually allow a straightforward procedure that finishes in about two to three hours.

Lower re**al tumors, especially those close to the a**l opening and requiring intersphincteric resection, involve a more complex surgery that can take five to six hours or longer.

Understanding this helps patients prepare better for their recovery and expected outcomes.

Does a PET scan really detect cancer and replace a biopsy?

A PET scan is a functional imaging test that shows areas of increased cellular activity in the body.

By using glucose as a tracer, it helps identify regions where cells consume more energy than normal, which can indicate abnormal or cancerous growth.

It enables doctors to detect and monitor cancer with greater accuracy.

Ever Wonder How Radiation Therapy Hits Only the Tumor?

A Linear Accelerator delivers highly targeted radiation therapy from a distance with exceptional accuracy.

After the patient is positioned, laser guidance aligns the treatment area, and the machine captures a Cone Beam CT by rotating around the body.

These images are fused with the planning CT to verify precision before treatment begins, ensuring the tumor is targeted while healthy tissue is protected.

Today, We explains how radiotherapy planning is carried out after a CT scan.

Once the immobilization procedure and planning CT scan are completed, all imaging data is transferred to the treatment planning system.

This system uses advanced computer-based planning to ensure precise radiation delivery to the target area while protecting surrounding healthy tissues.

A CT scan is an essential step in designing an accurate and effective radiotherapy plan.

The first visit to your cancer specialist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re carrying all your medical reports and facing uncertainty about the next steps.

But this initial OPD consultation plays a vital role in shaping your treatment journey.

During your first consultation for radiation therapy, the doctor carefully reviews your previous and latest test reports, assesses the stage of cancer, and determines whether radiation is required.

This process helps create a clear, personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.

A stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis can feel sudden, especially when a loved one seemed healthy just months ago. In older adults, health can decline quickly because the body’s energy reserves and resilience naturally decrease with age, making recovery from illness or stress more difficult.

Maintaining healthy habits such as balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and avoiding harmful behaviors is vital even in later years.

These habits strengthen the body, support treatment tolerance, and improve overall well-being during cancer care.

Starting chemotherapy involves important decisions about how your medication will be given. Two common options are a chemo port and a PICC line.

A chemo port is a small device implanted under the skin, usually in the chest, with a catheter that connects to a large vein near the heart. It’s typically used for long-term chemotherapy and requires minimal daily care.

A PICC line is inserted into a vein in the arm and guided to a large vein near the heart. It’s often chosen for shorter treatment durations and can be removed more easily once therapy is complete.

Both options allow chemotherapy medicines to be safely delivered into your bloodstream, reducing the need for repeated needle sticks and protecting your veins during treatment. Your healthcare team will recommend the best option based on your treatment plan and medical needs.

Follow for more educational insights on chemotherapy care and treatment options.

Colostomy Reversal Preparation: The Must-Do Test Before Ileostomy Reversal!

Before reversing a temporary ileostomy or colostomy, it’s crucial to confirm that the anastomosis site has healed completely.

At our center, we typically perform a Gastrografin e***a study for this evaluation. This test clearly outlines the anastomotic site, and if a stapled anastomosis was done, the staple line is visible too.

By comparing the films, we can identify any leakage or disruption around the anastomotic line, ensuring it’s safe to proceed with stoma closure.

If you’re recovering from re**al cancer surgery, a temporary ileostomy helps your intestines heal safely. Once recovery is complete, ileostomy reversal surgery reconnects your bowel, allowing stool to pass normally and reducing dependence on a stoma bag.

It’s normal to feel relief or anxiety during this transition. Discuss post-reversal care with your healthcare team to ensure a smooth recovery.
