Context: Treatment of Stage 0 Rectal Cancer / Treatment Options for Stage 0 Rectal Cancer
Local excision or simple polypectomy may be indicated for stage 0 rectal cancer tumors.[1] Because of its localized nature at presentation, stage 0 rectal cancer has a high cure rate. For large lesions not amenable to local excision, full-thickness rectal resection by the transanal or transcoccygeal route may be performed.
