What stage does rectal cancer belong to if it has not spread or metastasized?

Rectal cancer has not spread or metastasized, and is generally in stage I to II. Patients need to go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid the metastasis of cancer cells.

Rectal cancer may be caused by family inheritance, intestinal polyps, inflammatory diseases, etc., and it is easy to cause bloody stools, changes in bowel habits, abdominal discomfort, frequent urination and other uncomfortable symptoms. Usually, when the disease develops to the stage I-II, the cancer cells may not have spread or metastasized. In stage I, they exist in the mucosa and submucosa of the intestinal wall. In stage II, they will infiltrate the deep and full layers of the intestinal wall, but they are still inside the intestinal wall. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for treatment through traditional laparotomy.

Patients should pay attention to developing good eating habits in daily life. They can eat light and easily digestible foods appropriately, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc., which are beneficial to supplement the nutrients needed by the human body. At the same time, they should also pay attention to rest, maintain adequate sleep, and avoid staying up late for long periods of time.
