What are the symptoms of pelvic metastasis of rectal cancer

If you have rectal cancer, you will suffer a lot of pain, and it will also cause great trouble to your daily life, and even bring a great burden to your family. There are many signs of rectal cancer metastasis, but many people don’t know much about it. What are the symptoms of pelvic metastasis of rectal cancer? The following are some of the signs of metastasis.

The clinical features of early rectal cancer are mainly blood in the stool and changes in bowel habits. The liver is a common site of metastasis of rectal cancer, with a high clinical incidence. Therefore, early detection and early treatment are the prerequisites for achieving good treatment results for rectal cancer liver metastasis.

Abdominal distension, abdominal pain, constipation and other intestinal obstruction are also one of the early manifestations of rectal cancer. Rectal cancer tumors are often characterized by secondary infection and chronic toxin absorption. Therefore, patients with right-sided colon cancer often have symptoms such as low-grade fever, night sweats, general fatigue, and anemia.

There are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of rectal liver metastasis. A few patients may experience discomfort or dull pain in the upper abdomen or liver area, or symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. As the disease progresses, jaundice, ascites, edema, cachexia, masses in the anterior rectal fossa, and supraclavicular lymph node enlargement may appear, indicating distant spread and metastasis of the tumor.

In addition to these signs of rectal cancer metastasis, there are many other symptoms of rectal cancer metastasis, as follows:

1. Abdominal mass: It is a tumor or a mass that has infiltrated and adhered to the omentum and surrounding tissues. It is hard and irregular in shape. Some of them may have a certain degree of mobility along the intestinal tract. In the late stage, the tumor infiltration is more severe and the mass may be fixed.

2. Poisoning symptoms: Due to the blood loss and toxin absorption caused by tumor ulceration, patients often suffer from anemia and weight loss.

3. In the late stage of rectal cancer, due to severe symptoms and great pain for patients, they are often prone to negative psychological problems. Therefore, patients should receive psychological care, maintain a positive attitude, and cooperate with treatment in order to achieve better treatment results.

There are many signs and symptoms of rectal cancer metastasis. Only by understanding these signs and symptoms can we better treat it.
