Endoscopic treatment of rectal cancer involves the use of an endoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a light and a camera on the end, to examine the inside of the rectum and remove abnormal tissue. There are several endoscopic procedures that may be used to treat rectal cancer, including:

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR): This procedure involves removing the abnormal tissue from the inner lining of the rectum using a special instrument passed through the endoscope.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD): This procedure involves removing the abnormal tissue and a small layer of healthy tissue beneath it. It is typically used for larger polyps or abnormalities that have grown into the deeper layers of the rectum.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT): This procedure involves injecting a light-sensitive chemical into the rectum and using a special light passed through the endoscope to activate the chemical and destroy the abnormal tissue.

Endoscopic treatments for rectal cancer are typically less invasive than surgery and may be an option for people who are not good candidates for surgery due to other health conditions. However, they may not be as effective at removing all of the cancerous tissue as surgery, and the cancer may recur in the future. It is important to discuss the benefits and risks of endoscopic treatment with a doctor to determine the best treatment plan for your individual situation.
