If there is blood and pus in the stool, what stage has the rectal cancer reached?

For patients who are diagnosed with rectal cancer and have bloody stools, it may be the early stage of colorectal cancer or the late stage. However, the stage of rectal cancer cannot be judged simply based on bloody stools. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention and undergo relevant examinations in a timely manner to avoid making judgments, and receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor to prolong the patient's survival time.

Bloody stools can occur at any stage of rectal cancer. Generally, in the early stages of rectal cancer, cancer cells are confined to the inner wall tissues of the rectum. At this time, the surrounding organs and tissues are not affected. Patients may experience abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. At the same time, rectal bleeding and bloody stools may also occur after local mucosal damage. In the late stages of rectal cancer, cancer cells have spread to surrounding tissues, and the tumor develops rapidly. Symptoms such as mucous bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, fever, and increased bleeding may occur. Therefore, the stage of rectal cancer cannot be judged simply based on bloody stools. Relevant examinations are also required to understand the type and severity of the disease.

Clinically, patients with early-stage rectal cancer usually need surgical treatment. If surgical treatment is not possible, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or targeted drug therapy can be chosen to inhibit the growth and reproduction of tumor cells and prolong the patient's survival time. Regular follow-up is required during treatment. If there is obvious discomfort, you need to seek medical attention in time.
