If your uncle is been diagnosed with carcinoma rectum then staging investigations such as CT SCAN ABDOMEN & PELVIS OR MRI OF PELVIS need to be done. As per staging the required treatment can be suggested. If operable. He can undergo surgery, or else Radiotherapy to the pelvis can be opted. As he is 88years, chemotherapy could be omitted.
