View allI had surgery in Bangladesh 2 years ago for this issue but now it's come back in a different spot. The doctor there is recommending another surgery but I'm looking for a specialist in India who really understands this condition and can treat it properly so it doesn't keep recurring. Can you suggest someone experienced with this?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

my aunt was just diagnosed with rectal cancer and her MRI and biopsy reports show it's an early lesion her CT scans for chest and abdomen came back normal she's wondering if she really needs to go through all three treatments - chemo, radiation, and surgery or if she can skip some since it's early stage also what type of surgery would be most suitable and how long she might need a colostomy bag after
For early-stage rectal cancer, the usual approach is surgery, with chemo and radiation considered depending on tumor size and location. The type of surgery (like low anterior resection) will determine the need for a colostomy bag, which is often temporary.
