Some queries related to SurgicalOcnology
One of my relative found some blood in his stool and then he went to a surgeon. As per the suggestion of that surgeon he went did chemotherapy and found that there is a polyp with malignancy in his rectum. Now after some delay we got a date from a doctor on chemotherapy and radiation. The doctor said that the cancer is in primarily stage and it can be cured easily. We live near Kolkata and we examined everything in Kolkata. Is it okay to do all the treatments in Kolkata or we should continue the chemotherapy , radiation and operation of polyp in some institutes of Mumbai or Chennai, where the medical treatment history for cancer patients are far more good.

Treatment of rectal cancer involves mainly surgery. Some need chemo and radiation. Robotic surgery has great advantage in some cases. The choice of place is yours.
